    Folding mirrors automatically when parked?

    I fully get what you are saying, however how do you then account of other cars/trucks that do it? Wouldn't those manufactures/consumers have the same worries that you have expressed if it were a major concern? Heck even if you didn't have to hold the button on the fob, and it did it...

    Best aftermarket alarm for the most stolen vehicle on the road.

    You do not mean perimeter security like this do you? `

    Best aftermarket alarm for the most stolen vehicle on the road.

    I agree with you on the fact it can be stolen by a determined/knowledgeable thief. Heck someone can just two it away, and unless you have a GPS tracker, they can strip it in the comfortThe perimeter system will deter most as they will set off the alarm prior to being able to stay near the truck...

    Best aftermarket alarm for the most stolen vehicle on the road.

    Needless to say the Escalade has had the dubious distinction of being the most stolen vehicle since 2003 for at least a decade. I live in a city with a high incidence of auto/rim theft, and would like to add an aftermarket alarm that interfaces with the factory alarm to help deter all but the...

    Factory Key Fob Replacement?

    I need a remote for my 2015 Escalade and supposedly I can get a remote with the key cut for $125 from a local source. I am just not sure if that includes programming or not. Plus I have no idea if that is a good price, as my 07 Suburban remote was much less expensive.

    Just picked up a new 2018 Tahoe RST

    Indeed, performance exhaust is wonderful at certain speeds and for getting into the pedal. However resonance on long rides can become maddening. I have headers into an X-pipe, into mandrel bend B&B exhaust on my ZR-1. While it adds some HP and sounds great under acceleration, the mid range drone...

    Bit the bullet and bought a 2015 Escalade ESV - Now I have a bunch of quesions?

    If you guys wanted to get a few beers and some good food at Twin Peaks, I could meet you up in Palm Beach some weekend, but not to race the SUV. Having ridden a turbo crotch rocket, and having a ZR-1, racing an SUV wouldn't be my idea of much fun.

    Bit the bullet and bought a 2015 Escalade ESV - Now I have a bunch of quesions?

    Indeed a poster did suggest getting the RPO and I intend on doing that in the coming weeks. Now that it is likely is my truck, rather than one I might have gotten out of. Mine did not come with an owners manual, but in my experience, most are not specific to the individual car, and discuss...

    Bit the bullet and bought a 2015 Escalade ESV - Now I have a bunch of quesions?

    Thanks for your reply. I am not sure about the Sub LTZ, but here is a video I just found about the close feature on the Escalade. I did notice it will do the feature when the fob is in my pocket. When I tried it during the test drive, the car was running and the fob was in the center console...

    Bit the bullet and bought a 2015 Escalade ESV - Now I have a bunch of quesions?

    I appreciate the thought and recommendation. Many people only look at things from their own interest, and I can be guilty of that at times also. However if I had the knowledge I do now (after just another week of research), I'd not be in this situation. Believe me, if this was a Caddy or GM...

    Optimal Speed with 6.2 Liter Engine for Towing

    I'm surprised you doubled down on your safety comment after the previous poster correctly pointed out that you are not being safe if you would consider towing a 8k trailer at 85mph behind your SUV. Sure you try to nuance the question from a primary focus of what is good for the engine, but truth...

    Folding mirrors automatically when parked?

    That does not make sense to me as other model cars have the auto fold mirrors. Plus I cannot imagine parking so close to a pillar or some other object that my auto fold mirrors would hit them either way. I am glad they will fold with the fob, but it seems that someone along this gen would have...

    2015 Yukon XL - Upgrade Wireless Charging to support iPhone X?

    I am not sure what the magnet issue is, much less why it needs to be taken out for those of you fortunate enough to have wireless charging. In my case, I just bought an early model 2015 Escalade ESV and do not have the charging pad at all. I have a Samsung 8+ and know it works with GM's...

    Bit the bullet and bought a 2015 Escalade ESV - Now I have a bunch of quesions?

    Last night I came up to the ESV and did the kick for the heck of it. To my surprise it worked and opened the hatch. Needless to say it was a pleasant surprise. However no matter how many times I tried to kick it closed, it was a no go. So the feature is on this early model to some degree, maybe...

    Weathertech vs Husky Weatherbeater

    As a follow up, I attempted to put the floor liners from Weathertech for an Escalade into the Escalade ESV I bought. The fit was close, and interestingly enough the 2nd row liner goes under the 3rd row for some added protection. It would seem that the ones actually made for the ESV (and...

    Bit the bullet and bought a 2015 Escalade ESV - Now I have a bunch of quesions?

    If I cannot work something out, how difficult and expensive would it be to add those items you listed (except of course the 8 speed transmission)? I am especially curious about the center console charging pad, as mine has the surrounding leather all wrinkled like extra skin on a dog. I would...

    Where can I find a less expensive GM warranty?

    I have no idea how good this one is having never used it, but the place I bought my used 2015 Escalade ESV from said it is very good and can be canceled if we didn't like it. http://gwcwarranty.com/ I too am looking for the best aftermarket warranty that will not cost an arm & a leg. Most...

    '18 Expedition Platinum vs '18 Yukon Denali

    That was the experience I described as well. Keep in mind my Suburban is a 2007 vs. the Ford rental which was either a 2017 or 2018. That squat was not only there, but the front was higher and felt light. This also surprised me just as you described.

    '18 Expedition Platinum vs '18 Yukon Denali

    I cannot honestly tell you, since I am not up on Fords. This was within the last 2 months, and it was very new, but I'd be guessing to say whether it was a 2017 or 2018. The rental car agency was Alamo if that helps regarding how new their fleet/stock is. As to my comment about utilitarian...

    Bit the bullet and bought a 2015 Escalade ESV - Now I have a bunch of quesions?

    In all honesty I can see where it was just as much my fault for not knowing more than I did when I went looking. I originally found them via Car Guru, and though it is a 3rd party site, it naturally said 8 speed for the tranny. However at that point I was convinced all 2015 Denali's and...

    '18 Expedition Platinum vs '18 Yukon Denali

    I cannot give an accurate answer, since I had reserved a Suburban/Yukon XL, only to find not a single one was left. I was told they are in high demand, and I retorted "hence the reason I reserved one". They refused to upgrade me to an Escalade ESV at the same price, so I went into the lot to see...

    Bit the bullet and bought a 2015 Escalade ESV - Now I have a bunch of quesions?

    Well guys it is not looking good. The sales manager said he cannot find anything at the auction even close to the same price point. He said prices went up because so many dealerships are snatching up any and all vehicles, thus raising the prices. He also said something about tax season causing...

    '18 Expedition Platinum vs '18 Yukon Denali

    I have never owned a FORD, but within the last few months rented an Expedition(they were out of Subs/Yukons) to tow a large trailer across the state when my Suburban was not available. Instead of me controlling the trailer like I did in my Suburban, the trailer was controlling the Expedition...

    Folding mirrors automatically when parked?

    For those of you familiar with the 2015 Escalade (not the 2015.5), I discovered how to get the mirrors to fold in with the remote by holding the lock button in for a few extra seconds. However, I cannot figure out how to set the system to fold the mirrors automatically upon putting it into park...
