The Lincoln Navigator has been on sale for a few years in its current guise, and it's been the cream of the luxury crop. With a new architecture but much of the same top-dollar style as always, the new Cadillac Escalade looks ready to earn top billing. Which one of these full-size SUVs is more impressive?

Cliford Atiyeh, hands-down, is one of the best automotive reviewers in the business. I find him to be calm with his delivery of information. Clifford is engaging and direct. And I like the fact that his opinions are shared in a manner that makes you think about what you, as a consumer may want in a vehicle, without a lot of fluff. Now, I'm not in the market for a vehicle. But if I were, I would look for a review from Clifford, here on CarGurus.
Agreed
Most people don't know that the Lincoln Navigator came out with rear independent suspension back in 2003. This allowed adults to sit comfortably in the 3rd row. The Escalades finally followed in 2021. In addition, the Navigator was the first to have power running boards and a power folding third row. Again, this was back in 2003! I should know because I owned a 2003 Navigator for 17 years!! I loved my 2003 Nav so much, last year after I sold it, I purchased a 2020 Navigator Black Label!
The Escalade is absolutely beautiful inside and out!! I like both Ford and Chevy; I also have a Corvette. Bottom line, both the Navigator and the Escalade leads the pack in Big American luxury. I have great respect for both vehicles. I’m just glad that the American auto industry is finally striving for “real” luxury. Excellent review by CarGurus!!
Whoa...being practical and giving a real account of your ownership of Navigators WHILE also being honest about the Escalade being a good product too? Irrational/biased commenters won’t like this at all lol
wow, 17! years?! what was the final milage of the car? I have a 2011 lincoln from my dad and so far we've had it for 10 years and it has 105,000 miles.
@@laurenca.16 The final mileage after 17 years was 86K. I mostly took it on family road trips. However, I sold it to my brother back in early 2020 and it now has 120K miles. Needless to say he drives it a lot more than I did. Bottom line.. if you take care of your vehicle 9 times out of 10, it will remain reliable and take care of you. Enjoy
my buddies got an 04 and she’s sitting at 298k right now and still climbing. those 4v are hard to kill
Yes, & the Navigator also had "massaging" seats first, & your choice of the color of your interior lighting, Ford has a idea first, then GM copies it, same old story.
I dont have a $100k but i do have plenty of time and dream
Me too
If you have plenty of time and a dream, then get up and make some money
@@mirlov faxs.
@@mirlov 😩😩😩
Don't need 100k ... just need time = depreciation ... 3 to 4 years 😋😋
True American luxury....both are stunning, both made in North America...
yes the Escalade is made in Arlington Texas, and the Lincoln Navigator is made at the Kentucky Truck plant in Louisville KY.
Stunning but far from stylish
Both are Titans in their own respect. Can't go wrong with either.
The Navigator is getting refreshed for 2022 so this comparison would be interesting to see again between the 22 Navigator & the 21/22 Esaclade
Where do you find this information I love my Lincoln’s and soon to hope we get some new vehicles in Lineup
@@treeez_____5317 look on Ford Authority. The navigator is getting a new/refreshed interior for 2022 and a new front and rear
What should Cadillac be worried about about exactly for the 2022 Navigator? Interior is the same, but with the Nautilus 13.4 inch infotainment screen. Of course, a revised exterior (Aviator styling) and the 3.5L PowerBoost Hybrid V6. Cadillac isn’t worried about the Navigator getting a hybrid. Cadillac is already working on an EV Escalade, and the Escalade always outsold the Navigator. For proof, here’s the the 2022 Lincoln Navigator: fordauthority.com/2021/05/2022-lincoln-navigator-interior-caught-completely-uncovered/ & fordauthority.com/2021/06/new-2022-lincoln-navigator-spy-photos-show-infotainment-screen-up-close/
@@justinsmith2598 Exactly. Ford’s emergency refresh on the navigator isn’t gonna change the dynamic. Cadillac leap frogged Lincoln again.
@@mybro727 Exactly
You should have tested a Black Label Navigator for a proper comparison!
It wasn't available for this test. But I've sat inside a Black Label and note the only major difference is the extra leather and special detailing/colors on the seats. Navigator still wins w/o BL!
Escalade has a way better interior
Black label or not that thing looks outdated !!
No way the Lincoln won and lost almost every other category lol. Cadillac did not win on engine performance, and feeling of the seat, but somehow won everything else and still lost lol. Crazy man.
The escalade wasn't a platinum, how is that proper?
IMPECABLE narrative, meticulous and sharp!!! I’m just giving you thumbs up and subscribing!!
Yay a comparison video love these 😍
Love how honest this was!!! Thank you Cargurus. Can't wait for next generation Expedition
My mom has alway had a escalade ever since 2002 she just got the 2021 escalade platinum her super cruise works BTW but it is by far the king of the luxury SUV market in my opinion.
Facts
I wish they would have tested them on gravel roads to see which one rattles less…in my experience, GM vehicles rattle a lot, I’ve had a Denali, Sierra and a Blazer and were notorious for that. I had a 2013 Navigator that was super quiet on gravel roads, and no rattle.
They coming out with a Escalade V series I can't wait.
After driven both for long trips and owning none. The cadi is very pleasing on the eye, very modern. But the seats on the Navi just had superior comfort. For long trips I personally enjoyed the comfort being able to relax and not get fatigued. Cadi instrument is entertaining because it’s a shiny new toy but after it’s used as intended just for driving, I wished I was in the Nav.
When you take a road trip from St Louis to DC & coast down I-70 for 14 hours with little to no effort using super cruise in a 2021 Escalade it's then that you realize that Navigator doesn't even come close.
Stay tuned for Cliff’s Escalade ESV review focusing on Super Cruise going live this Tuesday the 29th, I think you’ll enjoy it!!
I’m a Executive Car Service driver’s! When my customers get in those back seats with the executive package; all I hear is WOW is this a Lincoln!😁😁😁
I love my Lincoln Navigator ❤️
I am in love with the Escalade 😍
The fact of the matter is, you can get either of these beautiful American SUVs for less money than your average unreliable, expensive mid-size Euro competitor, that to me, don't look as nice. The choice is obvious.
Please review the upcoming Navigator when it's refreshed!
The best 1 minute intro in a car video ever!
I sat in the NaviGrator at the auto show some years back. Never got to sit in the Escalade. Id like to soon. Great review.
Great review. I was kind of surprised by the winner. This kid does a nice job with the presentation. Nice!
Kid?
Man, was I impressed with the Navigator when it first arrived, that interior had me feeling I was on a small yacht. Thy support soft leather seats with so many positions, everytime I changed it felt better than the previous. But driving was totally a different case, noisy, bagging suspension and steering that had less feel that a Walmart shopping cart. Ownership of a turbo is a lot different in real life, don't believe I saw better 14mpg. Only having been behind the wheel of the Caddy for a short trip it felt nothing like a Tahoe, and the controls are totally different between the two GM siblings, and quite frankly when it came to ride quality, I'd have a Tahoe over the Nav. So for my bucks give me the Yukon.
To be fair the escalade started being something first than the Lincoln. Since the 2000's everybody and their moms wanted one. The Lincoln just recently became something elegant amd worthy to compete with high class suvs.
Tell that to the 99 navigator who started it all lmao...navigator literally existed first...
Sale numbers . . . Those are the ones that declared Cadillac over ford.
Great review! I enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing!
BP
Realmente a Lincoln Navigator é melhor, parabéns pelo vídeo.
Escalade for me!!!
This review was very informative. Nice job!
Awesome review. Loved every second of it.
I believe the rear seats are way more comfortable in the Navigator. Escalade back seats seem to be lower which is terrible on long trips
Lincoln not offering air springs on its premium vehicle is a bad miss.
Actually after owning one it's not that bad at all it's actually very nice and the presidential lincoln navigator gets air suspensiok
You won't know how it feels until you drive them to notice.
It's a surprising miss, considering air has been offered on the Expedition before. I don't think it's a bad one because most folks don't know the difference.
Lincoln has learned from the past! Airbags maintenance is expensive for people who don’t do their on maintenance!
GM not offering reliability is a bad miss
Love that you did this is the snow
Love the new look on Cadillac
It just looks more prestigious to me.I like em both though.
Had the twin turbo v6 in my SHO. loved it, was quick as hell and could get 20+ mpg. Was at the dealer for service, and overheard a couple of different customers in with F-150s close to 100k on the clock. They were being told they would have to replace one if not both of the turbos.... at 8300.00 a piece. I sold that car before I had to put 16k in it because of the way I drove for another 75k miles. Loved it, but was not willing to drop that much money so far into its life. Like the old saying goes, there is no replacement for displacement.
16k for turbos?
@@13jrvernon That price is probably with shop labor.
That's the price of a engine long block two turbos and a catalytic converter trust me I know 2018 f150 platinum and 2200 more for the labor. Idk where he's coming up with 16k for two turbos
Great job....from Argentina ....keep it up...
That Cadillac looks better (inside & out) and has better technology. Easy pick for the Escalade.
Better tech and that’s it, if you want actual luxury and comfort the Lincoln wins in every other category
@@adilsagadiyev5090 no, not only better tech, better suspension, handling, re-sale value, and a much more reliable engine. it won't struggle to pull a large boat, RV, or just large trailer. sure the V6 has two turbos for faster acceleration but you are forcing a V6 to do what a V8 does much more easily. plus you say better tech like it's nothing, you means tons of better tech
@@veteransforequality7347 bro, the v6 is from a raptor and I am sure you will be going to the shop for your air suspensions.
@@markusgrant6893 doesn't matter, long term that v8 will hold up better
@@veteransforequality7347 we'll see
This guy gave the best review I've seen. But somebody NEEDS to talk about the turn radius on the Nav, it's insane!!!
YESSS!
Do you mean it's insane as in the circle is too wide or too small? (Not a native speaker)
@@emadbu5 my guess is its insanely small (not "too" small)
My ESV has the turning radius of a small suv like the new 4 runners. I have both.
@@emadbu5 he was implying it’s insanely good and tight.
These are the best of the best! Gorgeous.
Cadillac is the true winner, sales do not lie. read this The Navigator almost doubled its sales that year (to 17,839), but it still has a ways to go before catching the Cadillac (36,872 sales in 2018). The 2021 Cadillac Escalade gets two engine options for 2021, including the returning 6.2-liter V8 and a new 3.0-liter diesel.Feb 10, 2020
It comes to personal preference. Just bought an xt5 Cadillac w/ 20" rims.love it but those seats in the Lincoln look like 4k$$ stressless leather from a high end house.I want em!!
Speaker count should NOT be the determining factor. HOW IT SOUNDS IS WHAT MATTERS!!!!! Which has more bass??? Deeper bass? Better clarity and separation?????????
Do you actually believe the sound system in the Lincoln sounds better than the AKG Studio Reference system?? 😂
Personally I liked the sound of the AKG, not only for wattage, but the enveloping surround sound in the headrests that you can modulate (0 to 360 degrees of effects).
@@mybro727 Here's the problem: Lincoln botched it with the Navigator's system. My Lincoln MKZ Black Label also has 20 Revel Ultima audio speakers. It's insanely good. I do not know how it compares to AKG, but the fact that the MKZ and Navigator have the same number of speakers is a bad move on the Navigator's part.
@Banana 831 Your “theory” is that Revel is the older system so the Navigator automatically should have the better sounding/performing sound system?. Smh. Again, that doesn’t even make sense. You believe Cadillac replaced Bose and chose AKG as their new “Face of Sound” solely because AKG doesn’t know what the hell they’re doing in automotive audio? That’s the reason they got the job? Do you honestly believe that? I guarantee you’re the individual that sounds ignorant here.
And you came all the way here just to tell someone else that _they_ sound ignorant. Digest that.
@Banana 831 No I’m not in my feelings. I’m trying to figure out why I’m being called names just because I asked a valid question. AKG may be new to full automotive systems but they aren’t new to the sound/music industry. A well established and highly capable company is able to reinvest money for research to develop new services/products. They’re able to venture into a slightly new market like automotive systems and be the best at it because this is still their neck of the woods: AUDIO. The quality and execution of that product will be there just as it is in the products their known for around the globe. But i digress.
Lincoln Navigator looks soo nice
yea, the monochromatic pkg makes it look much better!
The black label interior is insane as well
Those captains chairs look sweet too.I love my caddy & the black leather but that Lincoln got some beauties.
Both look and perform well. I think GM does so much with the Suburban and Tahoe, which are quasi-luxury themselves, that maybe that's the reason for the "GM" parts he mentioned? I definitely come from a GM family, so I got a ton of crap getting a Lincoln MKZ Black Label (400 hp is nice). I like both Cadillac and Lincoln. Hopefully GM keeps the Caddy cars in production, unlike Lincoln.
@@rpospeedwagon Cadillac has a 350hp xt4 & 400 option xt5.mine is 310 hp w/ sport mode & paddle shift.20" wheels & shiny red as a babysitter bottom.love mine,slightly stuff ride w/ the 20s in sport mode though.
Just a word of advice, Car Gurus...more...morE...moRE...mORE...MORE!!!!
Good reviews. I have a Cadillac question maybe you can answer: I like the center console available between the two bucket seats in the second row of the Lincoln. Do you know, is there such a second row center console option available on the Cadillac, specifically the Sport Platinum version? I didn't see it on the online Build list of options. If there is not, they should offer it, as an option. I do wish the Lincoln offered the adjustable air suspension of the Cadillac; there are circumstances in ski country where and when I would really like that added road clearance. Trade offs.
Great job!
Nice tribute to the Men's Warehouse founder at 0:55.
That Lincoln Navigator though 😍
Amazing cars very true luxury touches everywhere and unique styling that’s what I love
It's really weird getting used to the cameras versus mirrors, but once you do it's great
Great review, you should do the same review but now with the 2022 expedition.
In a upcoming video do a trio luxury comparison. Still do the Escalade and Navigator, but after the Jeep Grand Wagoneer gets released put that vehicle in as well for the comparison. That would be nice. It has some nice n comfy features as well.
Great test and presentation
I used to like Navigator / gotta Check Cadillac Scalade - after all is the Secret Service choice!
I have a navi, loveeeee it - this is the second one I’ve owned. For those seriously deciding between the two - I was in between another Navi, an aviator or a Tesla X - my prior Navi was a 2015 reserve L, which is longer than the current navigator by atleast a few inches. The new Navi doesn’t have as much useable trunk space when the 3rd row is in use. I’m a 5’0 early 30’s female and can drive these tanks easily, I have 3 younger kids and both of mine Navi’s have/had the pilot seat set up to keep my 3 kids separated while in the car (preventing slinging arms etc, parents get this). One of my friends has a new Escalade and for the price comparison between the two, the Escalade doesn’t seem to meet the standards - plus the thing is a gas guzzling beast. Both seem to tow really well, but the Navi gets way better gas mileage even when towing. Both myself and my friend own small businesses and use our cars for work. Idk if this will help any one but hopefully it does. Just my experience in owning a couple of them and having a friend that’s has an Escalade.
Thank you for this! Definitely helped this fellow 5ft small business owning mommy as well!
You're right about the gas. My co worker let me sit in his caddy and it was 3/4 full of gas with 228 miles to empty, lol
If you had to choose which would you?
I think both are pretty cool but I can’t help but feel the Escalade has a bit more “cool factor” looool
how does the navigator stack up against the halfmax diesel
Escalade is so awesome that Lincoln said, Oh boy it's time for an emergency Navigator remodel for 2022.
Now Cadillac have to do the same thing for the 2022 XT6 in comparison to the Aviator.
I agree that Caddy did raise the game more than I expected, but the refresh was due anyway. There's very rarely an "emergency " refresh in any vehicle.
The XT6 will never get to Aviator levels due to its platform, but it's creation definitely felt like an "emergency" response to the Avi!.
@@kclark8080 With a interior redo (Colors + Quilted Seats), and new drivetrain options. A 4.2 liter BlackWing or at least a 3.6 Twin Turbo would separate it from the 3.6 liter in-line engines in the Buick, Chevy and GMC lines.
Cadillac, It's needed now!
@@bilderberg_news4775 Since when can that be put in a front drive based vehicle? Everything you named is on a rear drive platform...SMH
@@kclark8080 No need to shake your head, I didn't think I had to mention that All-Wheel drive Cadillacs come with these engines. XT6 does come in AWD. Cadillacs from recent past have used the 3.6 liter Twin Turbo and 4.2 liter BlackWing without being RWD only. XTS, CTS & CT6 for example. So there shouldn't be an issue with dropping a 3.6 liter Twin Turbo in a AWD XT6. Giving it 420 HP which would be competitive with the Aviator or any other luxury offers in the class.

So
@@slickking4330 soo i saw this vid.
Cadillac also offers super cruise you can have it drive on its own, Lincoln doesn’t even offer that
9:54 Mercedes Maybach cars have its displayed on the road, literally, the lights act like projectors and can project images and directions irl on the street in front
This was an excellent review thanks
Cadillac Always wins duh
Looks like you guys made a video just for the SUV driver! You didn't show the rear interior, the seats and the habitability of the second and third rows of seats. Left to be desired, in this video! I wish I had seen more!
My Lincoln MKc has a great-looking rear, but what happened to the crome-tipped pipes
on the Lincoln? the rear of the Caddy looks much better.
How tall is this man???????
Great review btw!
With the premium price Cadillac asks for, I'd like to see it with its OWN HIGH HORSEPOWER ENGINE! Instead of using general motors workhorse 6.2 liter that's shared across the brands (Chevy, GMC,CADILLAC...)
we don't wanna get another Northstar
Always odd to me when I hear that OHC engines are old school. Both OHC (1903) and DOHC (1912) have been around for a long time.
He said OHV engines are old school not OHC...
People are parrots he said the caddy feels like a Chevy🤣 you can not take him serious
@@trethatdude because it does. Have you actually taken them for a serious drive? Or are you just a fan boy? The Navi drives and feels like an upscale Ford, because it is.
Very good review.
I like both, but I love the V8 engine. Nothing like that rumble.
They are both completely outclassed by the Grand Wagoneer! I was shopping around for the most luxurious and capable SUV available…much to my surprise, the GW just makes the competition look sad! Kinda like what happened when the RAM 1500 came out…all the other trucks were way behind and old looking.
Ive sat in the grand wagoneer. Wasnt really impressed. Big suv with leather is all it is, with screens that are too bright for the road. The escalades presence is unmatched. That gw blends in at the grocery store.
It's my dream to purchase this car and I'm waiting to launch this car in India so i can purchase it 😊
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Do the aviator & xt5 next!
yeah I will most def choose the escalade
This must be old video. I have watched the Super cruise on Escalade on other reviews.
We filmed it a couple months ago. Super Cruise, as I stated, would take months to come out and only now are we at that point. When we get another Escalade we will be testing it, for sure.
Interesting how Cadillac incorporates Mazda’s signature front wing on the grill and makes it a bit square as to not appear obvious
Both will work fine for joggers with bad credit in 8 years.
The Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, and the Cadillac Escalade account for 50% of all large SUV sales in the US. GM makes 340,000 of them every year and exports about 80,000 to 31 countries. They’re made in GM’s plant in Arlington, Texas, which is said to be the most profitable assembly plant in the world. We estimate they generate $20 billion in revenue for GM and about $4 billion in profits. Autoline Daily.
I love Lincoln navigator 💓💓🇮🇳
Is this the black label trim on the navigator?
A proper luxury SUV has to have a V8. Lincoln interior is sumptuous but really with new Escalade it has nothing on the Caddy. Escalade all the way baby.
Super Cruise is awesome. It utilizes advanced technologies to provide the ease and convenience of hands-free driving, even while changing lanes, thanks to Lane Change on Demand, offered on 2021 Super Cruise-equipped vehicles.
Wait...did they compare the Navigator L to the Escalade ESV? Sounds like they didn’t from the opening.
Good cars for road trip. I'd get escalade bc of personal reason. But the navigator looks cool as well for 2021. But in the city, I'd avoid these big SUV.
Long gone are the days of 1980s Motorweek reviews. Guys today are just not car guys in the way guys were 30 years ago. People today have no actual passion for cars. It’s like this dude is reviewing two dishwashers - a field he doesn’t know more about than he has to.
Great review and insight. However, I have had 2018 Navigator reserve L and in the first 2 years have stated "this is the best car I have ever owned", then in the last 2 months, all the engine issues began and Lincoln struggled to fix it until they completed a replacement of a Cam Phaser, that took 2 weeks. Now the concern begins about the ability of a V-6 twin turbo hauling such a massive car. Last week I ordered a Cadillac ESV Sport. I guess I will see first hand. Keep up the wonderful reviews.
Interesting. That's my only worry with my MKZ 3.0 V6 Twin Turbo (2017 Black Label). 400 HP is amazing, and hopefully it holds up well over the coming years.
Awesome video. I would choose Lincoln hands down.
I’m really curious what parts in the Escalade made you think it’s too much like a Tahoe?! All car manufacturers share parts, I don’t recall you complaining about VW parts in Audis or BMW parts in Rolls Royce or Audi parts in Bentleys or Toyota parts in Lexus
He is not genuine he likes the computer monitor from the tablet on the dash. 🤔
VW interior parts and switchgear look and feel a whole lot nicer than most GM parts do. Same with Toyota. In the 'Slade, you have an overhead console (map lights on the roof, etc) that have no unique style. Same gear shift knob as a Buick, etc. Look at what Genesis is doing with the GV80. They are not just copy-pasting Hyundai parts and calling it a day. Lincoln did that with the Navigator. The parts you touch and feel are unique to Lincoln.
@@northrollingacres I just walked away from a loaded up Atlas (53k) because it felt cheaper than a 90s Ford.
@@TheCoffeeField Agree. Again, not every VW is equal. The last time I drove an Atlas it smelled and felt like I was inside a plastic Rubbermaid container.
I like both vehicles. Personally I like the Cadillac more. However, I’d go with the GMC Yukon Denali.
Oh Please, what makes you like the denali? Just Curious, cause comparing it to both of these cars, they’re a lot big and have much space and for me that was a big turn off idk
@@lexithomas3163 Hi Lexi. I grew up on a cattle ranch driving crew cab pickups, we needed them to carry everyone and their horse trailers. So large vehicles were what I learned to drive in.
Flash forward to 2001, my wife was pregnant with our third child and her Honda Civic wasn’t going to work with 2 car seats and a booster.
I had read good things about the new Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon. My wife was like “absolutely not”… too big.
Well our local Ford dealer sent her home with a Ford Explorer (mid size suv) to test drive. She drove it for a week and liked it. However, I asked the local Chevy dealer if they had a demo Tahoe we could drive for a few days. They handed the keys over to a loaded black exterior with tan leather interior Tahoe. Cheryl was hesitant for about 1 day. By the end of the second day she was like “wow!!!” This is actually easier to drive than the mid size suv.
So we bought the Tahoe. Since then my wife has much preferred full size SUV’s to that of any other vehicle. If you drive a Yukon Denali or Cadillac Escalade, you will find they have extremely good handling characteristics. It’s not hard to park and it’s a very safe vehicle. We live in an area where we get a lot of snow and ice every year. These true 4x4 systems are better than the AWD’s we have owned. For example, we had a 2017 Acura MDX loaded. We were hit by a kid in a small car and the MDX was totaled. We have been hit in the Tahoe, just as hard and at same speed…. All we needed was a new bumper and grill!
If it’s the “size” that worries you…. I’ve found that people who buy these vehicles adjust to the size.
Now… we are in our mid 50’s now. Cheryl is driving a loaded grande Cherokee. However we now have lots grandkids. So…we are looking to buy a Yukon, Escalade or Ford Expedition in 2023-4 model year. We now need to be able to carry 6-7 people several times a month. My wife is looking forward to going back to the full size SUV.
Yeah, GM's Tahoe/Denali/Suburban lineup is basically already luxury-class vehicles. I drive a Lincoln, but GM does so well with that lineup I mentioned.
@@rpospeedwagon yep. We loved our Tahoe. Wife has a Lux Grand Cherokee. She loves it but misses sitting higher in the Tahoe. We have found in bad weather, in particularly at night it helps to sit higher relative to to the headlights of oncoming vehicles. We also like the better visibility on toad trips.
I personally would get the diesel but am looking forward to a hybrid.
I wish someone would make a diesel electric SUV. Why not use an electric with a small diesel generation to replenish batteries when driving more than the batteries can supply.
Why is there less driving footage of the Navigator??????
I am surprised by your pick. You were so much more complimentary and in awe of the Cadillac in your commentary than the Lincoln. Watch again.
My Navigator with a V8 ('07) had a 13.4 mpg average and my V6 ('15) gets 17.8 mpg. Significant improvement, especially considering there's more hp.
Excellent Review!!! I own a 2003 Mint condition Navigator I totally customized & upgraded to today's standard! (full tutorial review coming soon on my channel), and I wouldn't trade it for anything right now!
Paying 100K for either one would be a very stupid thing to do even if you could do it.
Someone’s broke
is the cadillac available in right hand drive
The European competition you mentioned are not trucks. They have moved on from truck design decades ago...
Which kind gas used in cadillac
Great review...thanks!!!
He says the navigator has the punchier engine but when they both take off from a dig the Escalade was walking it off the line 🤷🏾♂️
Haha well it wasn't a real timed drag, if you can see, my Navi driver had his foot slightly on the brake when he took off.
@@northrollingacres ...Trying to build boost but it backfired on him, LS/LT V8’s all day every day for the win.
