#926 of 994 slade vs. yukon by ckelly14 Nov 25, 2006 (8:16 pm)
I am comparing the Yukon Denali to the Escalade. The price difference between the models similarly equiped is about 10K- quite a bit. I want to know if there is anything I'll be missing if I go for the Yukon instead of the Caddy. I believe the Escalade sound system is surround sound and plays DVD-A discs, which is important to me, but I don't know if it's worth 10K. Anything else that I need to know?

#927 of 994 Resale? by paisan Nov 26, 2006 (1:55 am)
Perhaps the Caddy will have higher resale?   -mike

Replying to: ckelly14 (Nov 25, 2006 8:16 pm) Comparing apples to apples, the Cadillac has the "luxury" premium nameplate, an extra 23 hp, AWD vs. 4WD & 50k warranty vs. Yukon's 36k warranty. Don't know if it is worth 10k. That is up to you
#929 of 994 Yukon doesn't have AWD? by paisan Nov 26, 2006 (3:40 pm)
Im pretty sure the Denali (which is the one you'd be comparing to the escalade) has the same AWD system as the Escalade.   -mike
#930 of 994 Denali by ckelly14 Nov 26, 2006 (5:11 pm)
Denali has the same AWD system as the Caddy. The other Yukons have the manual 4WD system.

Replying to: ckelly14 (Nov 25, 2006 8:16 pm) I had been a Denali owner since '01. I had an '01 and '05 Denali (std and then XL). When I heard the new generation was about to hit (end of 2005), I was only considering the '07 Denali. However, I ended up with the Escalade because of:   1. HID headlights (Esc). The Yukon looks like a step backward with its front end. Although I know the previous generatation was NOT HID, I had replaced the 9005 lights with HID/Ballast kit. The "lens" style lights in the '01-'06 generation look more modern than the return to the old-style reflective lights on the '07 Denali.   2. LED tail-lights and marker lights. Maybe minor in function, buy very chic in terms of current trends.   3. A few more horses. I tow a boat all summer long, along with camping gear.   4. Cooled seats (along with heated). Very nice during summer heat, especially with leather, and global warming.   5. Longer warranty (at the time anyway). It has full-coverage for 4/50k. (The new 5/100k is not the same coverage, as it mostly covers the "hard goods").   6. A little more style. The '07 Denali is hard to distinguish from the cheapo GMC Envoy.   *** Is the worth the 10k? The lock was that I received quite a deal back in Feb '07... $100 under dealer invoice.   Dave Replies to this message: lykourinou (Dec 24, 2007 2:50 pm)
#932 of 994 Escalade Engineering Stupidity by gumps Jan 08, 2007 (4:32 pm)
I just purchased an 07 Escalade. BLACK(important here). Only after purchasing it did I discover that the air conditioning vents do not point above neutral. They only point neutral to down. The Escalade is cavernous inside and heat rises to the top. When you drive the car and it's 100 outside everything above your neck up will be swelltering.   How dumb were the engineers on this one! They probably never drove the car in the middle of summer. And, yes in the southwest it gets to 100 quite frequently especially in the desert.

Replying to: gumps (Jan 08, 2007 4:32 pm) They only point neutral to down.   Is it possible they were installed incorrectly?   tidester, host Replies to this message: gumps (Jan 08, 2007 10:01 pm) tidester (Jan 08, 2007 11:19 pm)

Replying to: tidester (Jan 08, 2007 8:38 pm) Nope. Been to the dealer. Even the dealer owner commented about it. The air vent in every other car I have owned has deflection up and down. This one only goes neutral to down:( I hope GM sees this and comes out with a retro fit to resolve this. It's going to get really hot with a Black car in the summer!
