#839 of 994 Re: will i be happy with escalade? [luvboxrs] by rcf8000 Feb 20, 2006 (1:24 pm)
Replying to: luvboxrs (Feb 20, 2006 12:19 pm) I have an '04 LX470, and I like it very much. I've seen the new Tahoe. It doesn't look as high quality as the LX. Neither has an ideal third row configuration, but I think the LX is better in that regard. The new Escalade costs a lot more than a Tahoe, so it may be a lot better as far as interior quality is concerned. I haven't seen one, but I intend to check them out.
#840 of 994 lack of headroom in Escalade by doubleagle Feb 20, 2006 (5:52 pm)
I went to buy a new Escalade ESV this past week, but was "shocked" to discover the lack of adequate head clearance. I am only 6'2", but could not get comfortable. The salesman seemed amazed, but I cannot believe others have not commented. We now drive an LX470 which has plenty of headroom. Any ideas on why the difference? Will the 07 ESV have this problem solved? Replies to this message: tyresmoker (Mar 02, 2006 5:00 am)

Gee,   A posting flurry! I'm 6'2 and 240 lbs and used to massive space in a vehicle. I drive a Dodge Ram extended cab right now and it is rooooomy. I felt cramped in the LX470. I've driven the Escalade and it felt pretty roomy in comparison although not as voluminous as my Dodge. I almost bought one last year but decided to wait for the 6 speed tranny. I'm down on the looks from the pics I've seen but ultimately I don't pick a vehicle on looks. They say they have added leg room. Perhaps the seat goes down further as it goes back.   Really the only contender I see on the landscape is the LX but it's ten grand more than the caddy and it's tight inside. May let the wife get that one. I want an EXT. This may be the last year for such a vehicle as the oil situation is only going to get worse as it looks now.   I just received my Escalade brochure in the mail and I'm fairly impressed. Still want to hear from Edmond's however. Get off your butts guys! One thing I am still questioning is the engine. I thought this new aluminum motor was sposed to have that feature of dropping to 6 or 4 cylinders at highway speed? Don't see any mention of it in the brochure. Anybody know anything.

Replying to: sfleming (Feb 20, 2006 6:58 pm) I could be mistaken but I believe the 6.2L engine that will be offered in the '07 Esky (and Denali) doesn't have DOD.   Also interesting that the final drive ratio offered on the '07 Esky is 3.42; guess GM felt that the increased power in the new engine would partially offset any low-end off-the-line grunt due to dropping from a 3.73 to a 3.42 rear end...that and the fact that a taller (or is it shorter--I always get the two mixed up) final drive offers relatively better fuel economy than a shorter (taller?) and a higher top end--at least theoretically.

Replying to: rcf8000 (Feb 16, 2006 7:22 am) Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner - the forum is undergoing some reorganization and this discussion fell off my radar for a while.   I don't know what editorial has scheduled for testing, but let them know what you'd like to see written up:   Contact us   or just email using editoredmunds.com.   Here's a First Look and some spy shots to tide you over.   Steve, Host
#844 of 994 press request by kirstie_h HOST Feb 27, 2006 (12:40 pm)
A major national newspaper would like to interview those who bought a 2007 Lincoln Navigator or a Cadillac Escalade and got a sizable discount off the sticker price. Please respond to jfallonedmunds.com before Wednesday, March 1, 2006 with your daytime contact info and a few words about the model you chose.

Replying to: doubleagle (Feb 20, 2006 5:52 pm) Funny you mention...I have 3" on ya and have driven Ford products due to their room ('05 King Ranch S-Crew)..Want to "go back" to an SUV for a few reasons...Anyway, looked at the new Tahoe when it first dropped...Room was great! Looked at another- loaded up LTZ with a roof, my head was hitting the headliner. Could not believe it...GM added to the seat travel but limited the headroom...
#846 of 994 2007 EXT by jimvee Mar 14, 2006 (12:52 pm)
Does anyone know when the 2007 EXT will be available?   Also, any chance that the rear window in the 2007 EXT will be power activated?
#847 of 994 2006 EXT movable load floor by jimvee Mar 14, 2006 (12:57 pm)
According to Edmunds, the 2006 EXT is supposed to have a "movable load floor." Has anyone seen this? When I went to the dealer, the salesman didn't know what I was talking about (shock) and I sure couldn't see anything in the bed that looked like it moved. Does this only come as part of the power tonneau cover (which the '06s I looked at didn't have), or is Edmunds (say it ain't so) wrong? Replies to this message: steve_ (Mar 14, 2006 1:22 pm)

Replying to: jimvee (Mar 14, 2006 12:57 pm) Forbessays the movable load floor is debuting later in the model year. Anybody else know about the floor?   Steve, Host
