    Another what should I do thread.... Caddy vs. GMC

    I was in a similar situation when looking to purchase a new vehicle, Denali vs Escalade. It came down to the wife liking the interior of the Escalade, she felt the Denali cockpit/console was too 'truck like' while the Escalade felt more refined based on the price. The interior was similar once...

    Should I purchase an Escalade?

    Got a brand new '17 escalade last year, blue with kona interior. Absolutely LOVE it, no problems, interior is quiet, ride is smooth, gear shifts are smooth and it looks phenomenal. Get one.

    3d Printing

    Fellow 3d printer here, and curious why you printed the parts in pla vs nylon or petg. Pla is not very strong and it could compromise the part it's supporting/holding. I haven't printed anything for my '17 escalade but am designing some brackets for the interior to hold my kid's tablets...

    Looking to purchase this escalade, thoughts on price.

    Not sure about any of us being dumb to pay these prices, it's what's on the market that we desire. Short of designing and building your own vehicle this is what's out there for the money we're willing to spend. The key is how much you can afford to spend, in our case we were saving for years so...

    Looking to purchase this escalade, thoughts on price.

    Im in Boston and have reached out to Goldcoast in NJ, Sewell in Dallas, and a couple of local dealers. All have the same attitude of not budging much off the msrp...very strange.

    Looking to purchase this escalade, thoughts on price.

    I offered 80k out the door on a model listed for 85k and you'd think I asked for their first born. These models are sitting on the lot and 18s are coming in, the dealers aren't budging. Fortunately, I'm in no hurry to purchase so I'll keep playing the waiting game.

    Thanks for all the feedback, very informative and helps tremendously. I posted the same question on the escalade forum and received similar feedback. A few posts on the escalade forum mentioned the dealership experience relating to maintenance/servicing/misc. visits; the experience at the...

    Denali vs Escalade life cycle cost

    Hi folks, We're looking to purchase a new '18 and were looking at the Escalade Premium Luxury and a fully loaded Denali. Wife prefers the Escalade I like the Denali (not a huge fan of the interior cockpit, but it's not a deal breaker). We're looking to keep the vehicle for at least 10 years and...

    In-dash blu ray player?

    Howdy folks, Does anyone know if there's a quality in-dash blu-ray player for our Tahoes, mine's an 08 Z71 with Nav and Bose. Now before anyone chimes in on the quality of blu ray on a 7" screen, the only reason I want one is because our kids have all their movies on blu ray so we'd...

    Howdy folks, I've got a 08 Z71 that's got the CCM lift with BFG 285-65-18 and wanted to do a brake upgrade since the stock brakes are almost done. I'm on a budget and would like to get recommendations for brake and rotor upgrade. Much appreciated, O2bwln
