I totally agree with you. Though a truck-like vehicle isn’t for me, I can respect a full-out SUV like this Escalade.

Big suvs gave people a taste of what being big and high is like. They were expensive so it kept people from going too nuts.

@@DavidPysnik this is the correct take. Yes they are master of none. They mix a truck with a car and in the process, lose the best aspects of each. They are not on truck frames so you lose nearly all towing capability and zero real off-road ability. Then they are not built low and stable like a car, so you lose all the handling and sleek appearance of a typical sedan. Worthless sacrifices all for a trend!

GM thought that the GMC Yukon Denali would work against the Navigator but Cadillac dealers were screaming to GM for their own SUV. Lucky for GM, the Escalade and the Denali became successful. GM luxury SUVs (especially the wheels) became a huge target for thieves.

Totoly agree about the SUV craze but I am a sucker for these especially the ESV, Danali XL, and Suburban LT. You saw more ESV than the regular length.

Its me again, and yes I was still at the Arlington Assembly Plant building these in the paint shop back in 04. I never liked this year model because it was basically a Denali with Caddy bells and whistles added on it because Caddy wasn't fully committed to the Escslades untill the gen 3 or 4 models and they started to show up in wrapper videos and Hollywood movies. Today's Escslades are much more distinctive and better engineered because GM actually gave Caddy a decent budget to work with and its reputation became mainstream along with a decent advertising campaign. For the most part I have learned to appreciate them over the last decade.

Geez, that 2004 Escalade is in fantastic condition. In the northern states they are all rusted out on the bottoms at that age. Great video, loved the arguement Bill had with the OnStar voice.

I like older gen cars because the simply look different compared to all the cookie cutter cars on the road today. As an owner of the 2nd gen Escalade and former z71 Tahoe of the same gen, I prefer the slade. Just as solid, better transmission, more power, and way more comfortable all around ride. It’s the best used vehicle I’ve owned yet. It should be a classic truck, it is for me.

Thank you for great presentation

Adam's Rare Classic Cars channel has an interview with the designer for this Escalade that's really interesting. It's amazing how much sheetmetal it shares with the Tahoe yet looks completely different. Everything from the A-pillar back is accomplished with cladding over straight up Tahoe. The dash is also kinda like that, an Escalade unique "pad" fascia of sorts placed over the regular Tahoe stuff. The front end is the only part that's 100% unique. Considering those restraints they accomplished a lot with a little.

Okay Bill, thank you for another video. Seems like you’re slacking a bit… lol. All kidding aside, I am a subscriber and avid viewer of your channel. I, more often than not, switch to Autohaus’ website to look at pricing as I do have a small collection and want to continue to add to it. I am a native Floridian born and raised in Miami. Graduated from FIU and never looked back albeit I do visit Miami from time to time. Most of my family is still there. I live in Germany now and have been looking for a large luxury SUV for some time now. This one really sparked my attention. I owned a 2005 when I still lived stateside and hated selling it but was too much to ship here at the time. So, before Autohaus puts too much into it, how much would it take to buy as is and have you guys arrange shipping to Germany?

He said, “This car was probably used for a drive by shooting. So here’s a big pocket for your TAC 9 or Uzi…” 😹☠️

Keep em comin Bill!!!

This one was a showing of a master at work. You managed to bring up any number of points I have mentioned here, and on other video channels, and rolled it up neatly into one package. Especially the part about the SUV craze being the death of everything else. One thing, though, of the undesirable elements you mentioned, the worst may be angry, wine sipping, blonde haired white female real estate agents. Here, even with crossovers, they are absolutely psychotic, and a far bigger threat to me and the Evil Prius than the guys with the big diesel pickups. They make Virginia Beach my least favorite city in the area to drive in. Perhaps the SUVs with the "Captain's Chair" option had that huge console in the back to carry the containers of boxed wine. The SUV craze I tend to call a need for some people to look down on everybody else. If you take it down to its roots, I consider those roots to be Detroit's answering the fuel crisis with shrinkage instead of technology. The 1985 C Bodies by GM and the 1986 E Body cars that followed them were especially a step too far. Oddly, the first thing GM axed to build more trucks and SUVs was the last of their body on frame cars...
