Wether if it’s a Tahoe/Suburban, Yukon, or Escalade of this generation, all 3 of these trucks are still nice and great looking in my book. 😁
I have a 2015 Tahoe and i think the newer gen looks a little sharper
I agree! GMT 900s still look great to this day. Even better than the newer ones.
Indeed
@@manpan4693nah, that gen looks like shit, and the 2015s are well known to be junk. But hey, you like what you like. Enjoy those lifter issues, trans issues, and electrical issues bud.
@@jamesstephenson2346 i agree they look shit too over engineered that's why the 07-14 gens look better and are better.
One of the best looking suv’s ever from this era
My 09 Escalade has 200k miles and still runs smooth.
Thanks for sharing that as I'm curious as to how far these can go when properly maintained.
@@nuttysquirrel8816 you can't go wrong with these trucks. It's the best vehicle I've ever owned.
@@nuttysquirrel8816 thank you. Been thinking about getting a 2014 model but kinda worried about maintenance.
Smells like a new SUV for an old one.
Thanks for the info i want to buy one soon from 2007-2014
We need more of these!!! ❤️💯💯
Listen the sound it’s very beautiful 🤩
Now I’m seriously debating about buying one. Loved this POV video. 🔥
My neighbor got this same car but in white and really nice lookin chrome rims. Cadillac is the best! 🔥
Always thought the interiors on these were pretty nice, given how cheap some other 900 series stuff from GM felt. Especially the Platinums, which had leather wrapped dash panels. Plus that 6.2 sounds great!
kzhead.info/sun/rJh-g7WHe3unqK8/bejne.html
They aren't nice at all. They are poorly built. I bought my esv platinum new, it's held up poorly. But to correct ya- dash and doors are "leather" wrapped, and the leather is a higher quality than base. Still not good, but better.
@@jamesstephenson2346 don’t hate. Just because you’ve had a bad experience with yours.
Still a nice looking car to me
2011 to 2013 4x4 Suburban’s are the best years.
This isn't a suburban. But ok.
Thank you
That interior is still nice
Wayyy, i love cadillac👍
the best car i've drove
When he went over those train tracks, the dash sounded like it wanted to fall apart lol 😂
Yea.. that’s the built quality being aged horribly
this is a GM car from 2011, quality wasn’t exactly the finest lmao 🤣 still love that generation of GM cars though
Honestly, even my 2010 Kia Forte rattles less then this.
@@lordmeme_ I like the older GM models more than newer ones, except for Yukon/ Escalade. GM was soo cool back in the 80s to 2010s. Back when Pontiac, Saturn, SAAB, and even Oldsmobile existed back then. Back in the good old days they had the unusual weird sports and muscle cars that were my fav especially the Chevy HHR SS panel van, Saturn Sky Red Line, Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, Silhouette, and Pontiac Aztek, GTO, Fiero, Firebird, etc. But they’re all gone now which makes me feel disappointed in GM right now, especially when they brought the Trailblazer back as a freaking crossover. Mitsubishi did the same thing to their Eclipse. Let’s just hope that Toyota doesn’t bring back the FJ Cruiser as a crossover 😖😖
@@jonanthonylosito2004 it did it new. I know I own one I bought new. It was never a nice ride.
You know times were tough during the Recession when your capo had to refuel the Escalade with flexfuel 😄
Tf was flexfuel
@@Londonistan_Calling E85 Ethanol
@@Londonistan_Calling poverty bullshit fuel that people buying... beyond well used asscolades from the buy here lots are putting in cuz it's cheap.
This generation of Escalades, ESVs, Tahoes, Suburbans, Yukons, & Yukon XLs are damn near bulletproof. My buddy has a 2014 Escalade ESV with around 314,000 miles on the dash. No major repairs either. So many of these are for sale with over 250,000 miles.
Speed up very easy. The driver is good and the escalade response also great. Manual accerated almost 1800-2500-4000 RPM. If more than 3000 too much, the wallet will hurt. ;)
I love it and I’m looking for one near ks
انا احب الكاديلاك بكل انوعها 🤓👍
Do you know Ford Ranger Wildtrak 3.2?
Are they reliable and good on gas
This color exterior was Black Raven with the Ebony Interior color scheme with leather seat upholstery
You Should Do A Video Of The 2008 Nissan Quest
Or a 2012 model ..
♥️
Does esclade esv and platinum have samw motor?
Crazy that just 10 years later the interior quality wouldn’t even pass in a Kia. Still gotta love a V8 though
The interior quality wasn't even good in 2011 my guy. Gm suvs have always had horrendous interior materials and build. (And I own one, so it's not just trash talking. The interiors in em are complete rubbish.
Kia interiors aren't all that great, Mazda, Toyota, and Honda are still ahead. But the K5 and Stinger are well finished and really impressive.
@@hakeemsd70m not long lasting though
@@ahmedalqallaf7436 That's a shame. I was always curious about Hyndai/Kia reliability post 2010. I'm aware of the engine fire issues suffered by some Hondas. What are the other issues?
It is 4wd, awd, or rwd?
Why are the early comments on these videos always so strange?
Exactly
Weirdos with no lives. Who else can be online 24/7 and catch videos seconds after they're posted? lol
nice
Ooof when u went over the train tracks I could feel the solid rear axle jolt the entire car 🤣🤣🤣.
I kinda like the look of this one more than the newer one for some reason, but damn.. the built quality is horrendous. I recommend you to do a video of a used 2014 Lexus LX 570
The build quality of these is horrendous to be sure. We bought an ls460 f sport (crafted) in 2015, and love it so much We are purchasing a new lx600 to replace the escalade (my work vehicle). Giving the escalade to our kid for his first vehicle. It has been an awful vehicle, but all the main issues have now been repaired.
@@jamesstephenson2346 You're a real Hater of these Escalades lol, these ones may have had terrible interior materials, but they sure are very Reliable especially with the 6.2L V8
@@Mshi- Yes, that Vortec 6200 is a hell of a motor. Extremely durable. I love GM V8's, and the Vortec series is one of their best.
Do one on the 2011 Tahoe and the Escalade still holding up till this day
They are the same vehicle 😂
@@martrellvideos7542 nah, same platform. Different vehicle. I'd expect a "car guy" to know the difference. Different suspension, motor, trans, and gearing.
2007 and still holding up
I have a 08 so far so good 156k
01-23-2023 I’m looking to buy one by far one of the best looking SUV’S today

BOHEMIA!
Can you do the same for the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid Please ?
...why? It will ride the same, except have less power and be more sluggish. Also, good luck finding one that isn't barely running as the batt. Packs died
👍👍💪
❤❤
kzhead.info/sun/rJh-g7WHe3unqK8/bejne.html
my wife’s friend has a 2014 Escalade premium
Seems like this gen had a smoother ride than the newer one. What do you think?
It does, if you have a good suspension. Most people cheaped out when the magneride died and put garbage passive shocks in because they are cheap.
But to answer direct- yes this gen rides much better than the 2015+. And honestly, the 05-06 models were even better
@@jamesstephenson2346 except the 00-06 one is so ugly
@@Shallowballow Ugly? How so?
@@hakeemsd70m there good trucks but just look like off with the body kits
We need cadillac escalade ext 2002
Why you didn't do the other backseat
you should drive cars of 2023 on your channel😁😁
Can you do a Cadillac ext ( not the 2021 model )
Sir there is no 2021 EXT!!😂Or you mean ESV
Why do you think it would be any different? Rides and drives the same
What about the STX with a V8
Yes! The Escalade Made By GM (General Motor)! It Comes With A 6.2 Liter/Vortec V8! My Mom Freind Has A 02-06!
The quality is lame, but I really like the look ❗For a video like, definitely ❗👍👍👍
Just tahoe 😎💪🇺🇸
Nah, it's not.
4:07 Start Test Drive

5:55 - pure american car sounds. 😍😍😂😂😂
Tell me your secrets im literally getting 10 mpg😭
I don't think that there's a difference between the 2007 GMC Yukon Denali XL & The 2011 Cadillac Escalade Premium
Well, you're wrong, but go on
This is the same as the 2011 Chevy Tahoe just a Cadillac
it’s like GMC Yukon 2015 XD
No, it's not. At all.
Those roads are crappy, I can hear the plastic bits violently vibrating among each road imperfection and with those 22” wheels, the ride could be really rough even if the Escalade is equipped with Magnetic Ride Control.
22’s are horrible for ride quality, even on today’s vehicles. I have 18’s on my Suburban, and it rides beautifully.
@@catiesuncle no, they aren't. I have 0 doubt you have no idea what you are talking about. The 22s aren't the problem here. It's an archaic platform with horrendous build quality. THATS why it jostled around. The 18s and 22s rode similar, when the suspension was working correctly (a rarity). We've got these gen escalades riding on both sizes. The 22s handle better, but ride "quality" is the same. Stop commenting on shit you know nothing about.

My Grandmother Has A Cadillac Escalade.
Unbelievable that a full size luxury SUV costs $22K
Depreciation is the game
@@robertjebediahfreeman buy a new car or a 2 year old CPO luxury car that costs the same.
The 20010 escalade is a overprice gmc yukon denali
Sorry not 20010 its 2010
It's not, no matter how you wanna cope. Differences are many. You may not appreciate them, but that hardly makes them not real.
What's the price of this car now?
Depends on miles and condition. You should know that's entirely too vague a question. A price RANGE? Anywhere from 7500-35000.
Is that dash held together with legos?
Nah bro
No. Screws and clips. Same as whatever vehicle you drive.

Yukon denali
No, cadillac escalade
Looks better than the new Escalade.

The most stolen car in America in 2011. Crap immobilizer and no steering lock. A thief could simply PUSH it away from the local Whole Foods where its owner quadruple-parked it and right through the chop shop door 😭

Please face revil
Thats very ugly
Excuse me...
I agree, but if he puts in the stock escalalde rims it would look really nice
It's not ugly,it's beutiful
Cool opinion bro. Now you should search for the guy who asked for your input.
Do the other backseat
Don't you like the backseat the other one
