Hey guys! New platform owner. Last week I sold my 2012 GMC Yukon Denali and got into a 2019 Escalade ESV Luxury (with some Premium features!). It was a long time coming; my '12 started to nickel and dime me pretty badly. I ended up spending over $2400 in the course of 2 weeks, and it stranded me 3 times. This after all the care I put into it, so I was not happy. Decided to get rid of it while I could. Ended up getting a pretty good price on the trade-in, and found this almost brand new, '19 Escalade ESV with 27k miles on it, CPO to boot! Dealer wanted $70k for it. With trade-in, after taxes, tags, and all fees, total came to $60k.
I swore off ever getting a K2 platform truck because of buffeting and vibration issues I've read about, but this thing rides like a complete dream compared to my old Denali. Very pleasantly surprised. It even still has the new car smell. I'm stoked! A few little things aren't working, so I'm getting the truck in for service so that it can be repaired under warranty. I've already put all-weather mats in the entire thing, changed the front turn signal and license plate bulbs to LED, and going to throw on new tires and brakes over the next few weeks.
