We looked at the Denali...and the Expedition, Navigator, Land Cruiser, etc. It basically came down to if he was going to drive a vehicle that handled like a truck, it had better make up for it in comfort. The Denali was nice, but for us, the Escalade was "it". The interior styling and comfort just could not be beat, and we preferred the exterior styling over the Denali as well. The dealership also played a role here. We've been extremely happy with Ken Batchelor, where we got the H2, and knew we would get great service with the Cadillac as well.

It did cost more than the Denali (and the Hummer), but it was within our price range.

I guess it's a matter of personal preference. We are very happy with the Escalade.

That is one of my favorite trucks. The only thing (and it is minor) is that the back seat windows don't even go down half way. But if you think about it, if I had one (wife really likes it) I wouldn't sit in the back seat anyway. Great color.

You need to dump that thing...

Stacy, Very Nice SUV. One smooooth ride

KenP, Love your new Dodge.

I got mine, you got yours?

nice escalade

Stacey,

I'll be trading in our H2 tomorrow morning for a Yukon XL. How is the ride with 20's on your Escalade compared the the stock ride? I just took off my 20" setup from my H2 and drove around with the stock 17's. I forgot how much better the ride was with the stock wheels. Is it the same with your rig?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stacy,

Got the GMC Yukon XL that seats nine (yes 9) people! I had to get the 22" Milanni's of course...

I also just orded the Denali front end kit. It raplaces the lights, bumper and grille. They did not make a Denali trim that seats nine.

Damn I miss my wife's Hummer!

I wish I could give you more info, but I still haven't driven the Escalade (by choice, not because of territorial issues. ). My husband drove stock and then with the 20s and said there was a night and day difference tho...the 20 ride was MUCH smoother. I don't know if it was the actual ride, or if he didn't notice the road bumps because he was too busy looking at the reflection of his wheels on the pavement.
