#246 of 994 EXT by robh3 Dec 12, 2000 (7:30 pm)
From what I have read in auto magazines, the Escalade EXT is the Lincoln Blackwood killer. It'll be a lucury "pickup truck" based on the Escalade. ...An amazing change taking place at Cadillac!
#247 of 994 Rave reviews by dindak Dec 18, 2000 (5:12 am)
Been reading in many different magazines about the '02 Escalade and it is getting great reviews everywhere. With gas prices expected to fall in the new year, these new Cadillacs should fly out of the dealer lots.
#248 of 994 Seen One Yet??? by glamourlife Dec 21, 2000 (9:32 pm)
Any Dealer sightings yet? Is the January 2nd for sale date still a go?
#249 of 994 2002 Caddy by paisan Dec 23, 2000 (2:35 am)
You guys getting the new 2002 Escalade will benefit from GM's part ownership of Isuzu You'll be getting the power folding mirrors that our Troopers have had for years! (The Mercedes ML and Range Rovers also have em) They are one of the best things for todays SUVs. I know that I use them in parking lots and parrallel parking all the time. I would not normally fold in my mirrors unless it was a tight fit, but with the power mirrors, it definitely makes it more convienent.   Does anyone know what kind of system the new AWD version of the Escalade is going to be using? I'm curious if it's going to also use a variation of the borg-warner TOD system that the Troopers use. Hopefully it will be, because the AWD/TOD system on them is excellent (and GM already partly owns the technology)   -mike

I'm certain it's the same unit used in the new GMC Denali.   Bob
#251 of 994 re:AWD by paisan Dec 23, 2000 (11:04 am)
Is it the same unit as the Suburban/Tahoe? (The auto-engaging 4wd unit?) I've heard you really have to spin the rear wheels to get the fronts to kick in on the Ford and GM auto-engaging 4wd unit. Just curious what kind of torque split the AWD is getting.   -mike
#252 of 994 Mike, Re: AWD by rsholland Dec 23, 2000 (11:47 am)
No, it's not. It is an AWD unit, not a On-Demand unit (no 4WD Auto mode, or any other mode, for that matter), and it doesn't have a low range.   GMC is also introducing a Denali-like pickup, the "C," (I'm not sure(?) if that is the correct label for the pickup, but it's close) with the same unit as standard.   Bob

Bob, do you have any links? I'm suprised there is no low range. That is a major bummer. Not that I could afford a Caddy SUV anyway.   -mike
#254 of 994 Mike by rsholland Dec 24, 2000 (7:51 am)
I agree. While I like the AWD feature, I don't like the lack of a low range—as you may have gathered by my earlier posts on this board.   No, I don't have any links. If you go to the Caddy or GMC site, they may have additional info.   Happy Holidays! *< Bob
#255 of 994 I agree by paisan Dec 24, 2000 (10:01 am)
Bob,      I agree with you, AWD is great, but not at the expense of a low range available. That's why I like my Trooper and XT6   Happy Holidays   -mike Isuzu Forum Spokesman Edmunds Isuzu Forum IA Trooper Homepage
