We went with the Grand Wagoneer. The second row seating with the center console is perfect for our teens. My favorite feature is the 6.4 liter V8. It sounds amazing.
Congratulation on the NEW TRUCK🚂 . thank goodness your a real man because the government owns GMC , so they steal their parts from Islam and India and are terrible & cheap. GMC went bankrupt 8 times in the last 15 years!
If you think that is amazing, you should experience the high output 510hp 3.0 litre in-line 6 cylinder with 500 lb-ft of torque. it blows the 6.4 liter v-8 completely away!
@@stevechimelski4557….no, it doesn’t. The V8 suits the character of this car so much better as it feels more tactile, more gentle giant and that’s what these cars are all about… so, no V6TT for me please… btw, the same is to observe in the Supercars Industry where V6TT spec sheets looks nice with lots of power and torque but simply lose on character and feel. Not even talking about reliability, fuel thirst or the ability to drive with LPG…🤷🏻♂️
@@stevechimelski4557 The I6 engine is too high strung. It has more power out of the gate but not much. The V8 does almost as much power and is way more relaxed. It will last longer. MORE IMPORTANTLY! The V8 sounds soooo good. I just bought one with the 6.4 and it sounds AMAZING. Plenty of power.
We just bought a 2022 grand wagoneer obsidian and we love it. Didn’t like the escalade as much. The 6.4 for a luxury truck still sounds good taking off and the interior on the grand is just next level
Actually, they don't. We're still a long way from that. What they do is take some of the stress off. Something you might appreciate on an all-day cross-country drive.
I agree. I drove them all. The GM giants were sluggish and stopped horribly. I got the Grand Wagoneer L Series III and it has things you can't even get in the Escalade.
Cadillac logo has changed through the years when I was kid it had the crest with little ducks in it and a V shape for "De Ville" or a wreath for the high end "brougham". Or just the crest with the ducks. I love the new style. So in the history of Cadillac I believe there have been 8 logos mods. As for kick for gate "up to the body on left side" (I have a Cad) or you can press crest as mentioned by Eisa.
I love how the middle seats flip forward on the Escalade. That is how they worked on my 15 Suburban. If you flip the middle seats up and you sit in the back it is like being in a limousine.
My opinion on the Escalade vs Grand Wagoneer continues to change. Exterior: Escalade. It screams luxury when you see one on the road. Interior: Undecided. I like the seats and the sound system in the Escalade. I like the passenger side screen, the second row console and the third row amenities in the Grand Wagoneer. The screens in both vehicles are exceptional. Engine: Grand Wagoneer I look forward to test driving each SUV in the near future. Regardless of the looks and amenities, how each vehicle feels on the road will be my deciding factor.
I do not understand why General Motors got rid of the cubby Behind the touch screen. It is nice to see that Jeep Had the good sense to put one in. I love that feature in my 15 suburban especially since you can put in a 4 digit pin to lock people out.
That’s a great point, but if you look at the terms of a lease the contract tells you by how much of a deposit they require you to pay upfront, it’s called negative equity. They know how much of the value will depreciate during the length of the lease.
Maybe I missed it, but did you guys compared the audio quality on both vehicles ? The Caddy has one of the most amazing sound systems installed from factory. Sound system is something very important on luxury vehicles.
I've heard neither system and probably never will. I'm sure both are plenty good but the Grand Wagoneer has the McIntosh system with the illuminated logos on the doors. I'd buy the Wagoneer just for that feature alone
Bought the GW bc the Interior like you, it's just gorgeous. Love the Escalade but over here in Florida the dealership wants to add a Market Adjustemt Fee of up to 20k on the price. 20k on top of the final price is a joke and I don't know how they can do that. I get demand is high and product is limited but that's insane wanting 20k on top of it.
@@spyder61man I know, I tried reasoning with them saying I'll just go and buy a Grand Wagoneer and save me that 20k and they didn't want to budge. Not even come down a bit. I think it's insane if your building one they add that MAF. Not that it matters to them but man they lost me as a customer. Kia did the same thing, I'm like your bugging if you think I'm spending 60k+ for a Telluride, adding a MAF of 5k. I can't wait to get my Fully Loaded GW in 2 weeks!! 2 months of waiting

Saying somebody is willing to pay more for the car you ordered, do you care to match??

I feel you! Basically for the same price the Cadillac Escalade is a no brainer. But 20k over MSRP? That’s not fair especially knowing there are customers who paid much closer to MSRP! That dealership has lost their minds. The Jeep is a great American alternative but it ain’t a *Cadillac Escalade.* The “Escalade V” is about to be revealed soon. The release of that trim should hurt standard Escalade dealership markups substantially.
I don't know if it was your microphone but the Jeep sounded much more quieter than the Escalade the Cadillac sounded like a lot of wind noise whereas the Grand Wagoneer it was much less road noise. If it was my money I'd chose the Jeep they've done their homework now I would love to see if they will offer the EcoDiesel or a Hybrid option later on in the next couple years.
I noticed that to, but as you suspect, the mic could have been adjusted differently. Not to mention, there are so many thing that could effect the sound quality. Like wind speed etc.
Naw this is true. I have a 2016 grand Cherokee and my cabin noise is so quiet because of the laminated windows. Grand wagoneer definitely got that too haha
I love what Jeep did here minus the cheap piano black plastic inside. Escalade is not a looker in my opinion and the interior is straight up Chevy/GMC parts bin minus the screen. If the Escalade didn't have its multiple small screens (reviewers call it one screen but its multiple smaller OLED screens laid on top of one another) in one, it would not be as hyped as it is. I think the amount of screens in both of these two are a bit out of hand. Was not impressed with my time inside the Escalade. I would go Navigator or X7 over both of these two here personally
I'll say one thing about the Cadillac, it has one of the most distinctive styling in the car industry - especially its lighting (I prefer the amber turn signals). Nothing else on the road looks like it. Even without the badging you can tell its a Cadillac. Anyway, it would appear that you have a very long torso, so that contributes to your headroom even more than total height. Still, that body type makes for a better test since it goes down from there. In addition, the Cadillac there is a long wheelbase version of that vehicle. Jeep/RAM is probably the ONLY company (beyond premium sedans) that take into account the comfort and quality of its rear seat passengers. Outside of Jeep, who would bother with stitched armrests in the rear? In every other car company, regardless of type, the rear compartment is always the equivalent to second-class. For example, nobody else builds a car with power, massaging, or even ventilated rear seats. Too bad you didn't mention anything about the sound system or controls, but I guess we have to tune in to DD if we want all the quirks and features of the automobiles.
@@johnadkins3466 That's something that distinguished Stellantis product above all other carmakers. When you sit in the rear seats its not like you're sitting in steerage. There's just as much attention to detail and comfort as they put into the first row. Because you sit higher, you don't feel like a second class citizen. The only thing missing is of course would be the ability to adjust the height, so even your Sumo brothers can be comfortable. One of the few justifiable reasons to own these types of vehicles.
Remember, the Escalade has an ESV option for a bigger 3rd row. Looking at Cadillac pictures the 3rd row appears to have a padded armrest, too. Maybe not on your trim?
The ESV has more room but bucket seats in second row. You haul one less person. I have owned 4 esclades over the years, the ESV platform is easier for your passengers. I have not driven the Grand Wagoner, but historically Chrysler has gone over the top with Luxury. When you compare the Ram Limited to the competition it's far better.
Well done guys. Prices are ouch!!! But both are nice and have cool tech. Now only good when it works. My pick overall would be Wagoneer. Inside and out.
Your presentation is as nicely done as the vehicles are. My Dad & I adored each other but did not get along as smoothly as you two do. Great vehicles. I think they would be better without the front center console
Saying you own an Escalade means something. No one cares you own a Jeep. That matters for many people - especially for this price. Branding matters and Jeep has never been known for luxury and I would say it's the opposite of luxury.
@@1234tellmewhatyourlookingfor for sure. It definitely goes both ways but it’s hard to imagine people who don’t want luxury when spending $120k on a vehicle.
Great review mate. You and pops are great together. Nice touch in the baby seats/options for securing. Now overall looks I would go with Cadillac. Overall Interior design look will go to Jeep. Engine yes the 6.2 is great but 6.4 just has more guts. Now the GM does come with 10A advantage. Really all 3 American big SUVs are awesome
@@gbaby4rb64 listen I’m not knocking your experience but I have had tested many 10 speeds ( my channel ) vs 8 speed and the 10 speeds shift quicker and do offer a slight mpg advantage. The vehicles acceleration should also be quicker on 10A. Rear end gearing and tuning matter too. I got no issues with 8 speed but in my experiences the 10 does everything the 8 does but even better.
I’ve had an escalade and now a new wagoneer. I absolutely love the look of escalade, however, Wagoneer hits on practicality. Simple things; hitting the cooling/heat. Wagoneer is very simple when it comes to climate control. Which is positioned under the screen and is more manual. Not sure about the new Escalades you used to have to slide. Which was totally an annoyance and keeps your left hand further away from the steering column. Always had electricity problems with Escalades and the screens on Escalades always have faulty issues…hoping wagoneer doesn’t have the same issues. The 2022 Wagoneer, has amazing features. Especially with passenger control. The real version of navigator. In the wagoneer…The sensors will also inform you if have something in the rear/back. It’s a nice friendly reminder, for busy people. More head room in Wagoneer, but Escalade has a an elite look. Both have there strengths. It depends what you use the vehicle for.
Great review. Are the Escalade cameras really that pixelated and bad? The 360 view looks like a child's toy. I'm very surprised at how bad they look. Maybe it's just the video. This comparison is great. My dad has been looking at both of these. Thanks!
These SUV's are getting so big! Why not have a set of third doors for those third seat passengers. Seems silly to have to climb in behind the second row seats.
It pains me to say this, but without the display screens in the second row of the wagoneer, I’d take it hands down. I really do like the look, the Jeep seems more capable, and if I had to spend that kinda money on a vehicle, it would be my choice
I’ll go for grand wagoneer because it’s super luxurious and still has that off road quality Escalade still lacks that’s why most people in the Middle East and africa prefer Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus instead the grand wagoneer might just add to it soon especially when they do a little bit of tweaks to some parts of the exterior
If I have to have my hands on the wheel, or look forward and pay attention as if I am driving I may as well just drive the damn thing myself😪 I can see a future when most cars have become "smart" the autonomous driving will be alot easier to program, what with them all being able to communicate and even form trains to draft and become more efficient...and I can also hopefully have my car take me home after the Christmas party so I don't have to go back in the morning 🤣
Will you test drive again with the ' super cruise ' in light and heavy snowing days ? All RUclipsrs test drove those self drive systems in sunny dry days .
@@TramaineleDay5655 Cadillac. Its unique on the road. You can literally tell it from a mile away, and you don't even need the million emblems they put on the car to recognize it as a Cadillac. I'll give the Jeep Grand Wagoneer second place. But if those screen start to black out, suddenly its not so modern as it was before.
Personally, I like the look of the Wagoneer way better. I feel like the last 2 generations of the Escalade has been absolutely ugly. Too many geometric shapes and futuristic looking, just not a good look on a big SUV in my opinion. Even the interior is better looking on the Jeep. Win all the way around for the Jeep.
It's the opposite for me. Exterior too boxy from the side and rear angles. The square windows look like they took it out of a boat. Interior wise it looks amazing but exterior is unattractive.
@@Nestle245 Say what you will about boxy designs, but they are the most practical shape for people and their cargo. No silly sporty coupe shaped SUVs where the sloping roof line cuts into head room and sacrifices valuable cargo space.
hi! Thank u for making wonderful review of both Escalade and Grand Wagoneer so as per ur experience in driving both so which one of them have lightest power steering where u can turn it by pinky finger?
I get the feeling that you're not looking for the Cadillac emblem that shines on the ground, showing you where to 'kick' to open the rear hatch (it's most visible at night but i think it's bright enough to be seen during the day) or you could just press the Cadillac shield.
The grand wagoneer looks like the Durango’s older-yet-slightly-more-unattractive sibling. I definitely agree that there is something awkward with how the rear 3/4 and rear in general is styled. The rest of the truck looks regal and elegant while the Cadillac is intimidatingly bold, razor sharp and MODERN. The Escalade is the CAPS LOCK of large suvs.
13 times. That’s how many times it’s been changed. My dads fleetwood brougham has the same emblem as my 07 Escalade except for it’s a hood ornament and it has a little crown and the crest and wreath are connected by a little bar.
Just a quick correction - you’re spinning all the shafts regardless if you’re in 2wd or not. There is no real life zero fuel savings. You’d have some only if you can disconnect the front hubs which of course you can’t. Love the review!
@@Enchanted3DPrints whether there is power going to the front or not, the front driveshaft and both front axle shafts are still turning. The theory that you save fuel by being in rwd with a system like this has been disproven over and over. If one could disconnect the front hubs and thus stop any movement and load in the front axles and driveshaft, only then one might gain some fuel economy. I also speak from personal experience. My Jeep had a tcase with permanent awd. Once I replaced it with one which offers rwd mode as well, my fuel economy stayed exactly the same. What you gain in rwd mode only is some maneuverability. That’s it.
@@thebulgarianguy8461 I had a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee with full time 4WD, picked up a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee with selec-trac that gave me 2WD...so, like many I thought hmm, I have a 2WD mode in this Jeep It'll get better fuel economy than my previous full time 4x4 equipped Grand Cherokee...nope, same fuel economy...because yes, even in 2WD all the shafts are still spinning as there isn't a front axle disconnect, or manually locking hubs....even with a front axle disconnect you still have the axle shafts spinning, it just disconnects from the front driveshaft that goes to the transfer case, so you are still spinning the front axle shafts, and differential gears which is where most of your drag is coming from.
As a jeep wagoneer owner mines is optioned out n I have the carbide edition I love the grand but I have the inline 6 n it's fast for a big suv they didn't have the grand I wanted but I'm happy with my wagoneer I have tvs n pass screen just not massage seats but everything else after a while doesn't feel big ass it looks
The Jeep may have expensive parts inside and out BUT it doesn't look high end. The Cadillac is more of an executive class without screaming overly designed and accented in chrome and glossy black and faux wood finish.
Going to guess somewhere around 18 times they changed the emblem. I would love either of these vehicles if i could afford them. Lol. Both look great. I think the jeep offers something different for people who don’t care for GM or the looks of the Escalade.
I agree both are very beautiful vehicles I have the baby escalade 2022 XT6 was super surprised after going into dealer for service on my xt5 and left out with brand new xt6 thank you santa Totally unexpected!!!! Still gouging everytime I open my garage
These vehicles are targeted to high end CEO’s not your general citizens, that live pay check to pay check. Plus in Canada 🇨🇦 you will get hit with another 10% luxury tax on top of HST putting these vehicles into 160 thousand out the door. Coming soon in 2022.🤑😳😬
That Cadillac will be dirt cheap at around 120k miles, right before the oil pump belt is about to fail and the transmission will have to be removed to replace it.
The rear hatch on the Cadillac can be opened by hitting the cadillac emblem you don’t have to use remote or foot ! Do you have both vehicles at the lowest level of stance.
Cadillac all day long! Better looking and you can get it in ESV form for more room, Jeep you can't! I travel a lot towing an enclosed trailer ( snowmobiles and 4 Wheelers) and having the option of a diesel is a must. History also shows the Escalade having a much better resale than the any luxury Jeep SUV. The wrangler obviously has the best resale, but it's not luxury. Great video, but you guys really need to get more similarly comparable vehicles. I'll point out the obvious as well, you should have compared towing characteristics :-) You guys are still the best, keep it up!
The extended wheelbase Jeep is coming and the Jeep is better at towing and has a better interior also the wrangler and Escalade have the best resale because their based on trucks trucks have great resale value so you can’t determine the resale on the Jeep yet because they haven’t had a vehicle like this in a long time the closet vehicle to this would be a wrangler considering they’re both body on frame
The long WB jeep will be out next years and from what I’ve seen and read it will be 2-3 inches longer then the GM/Ford Long WB big SUV. Currently the short jeep is 215 inches which is 4-5 inches longer then the Tahoe/GM cousins.
you can also press the cadillac emblem on the back and it will open

The question is which will be the first to be on a used car lot for 30k with a check engine light on? Thats the real question.
Just lease the car
That’s a great point, but if you look at the terms of a lease the contract tells you by how much of a deposit they require you to pay upfront, it’s called negative equity.

Sound system is something very important on luxury vehicles.
no we didn’t. Dad won’t let me turn them on.

23 speakers.. and they've made the jeep even longer
Stephen, Considering they are 3 ton SUVS, the rear seat headroom is a massive failure in the Cadillac Escalate™ and the Jeep Hundred Grand Wagoneer® .

Well done guys. Prices are ouch!!! But both are nice and have cool tech. Now only good when it works. My pick overall would be Wagoneer. Inside and out.
I would get the cadillac Escalade
I just saw a Tundra @15:12 i cant wait for their full review
Coming soon!
Really liking that 6.4 liter V-8 engine, too.
Your presentation is as nicely done as the vehicles are. My Dad & I adored each other but did not get along as smoothly as you two do. Great vehicles. I think they would be better without the front center console
Saying you own an Escalade means something. No one cares you own a Jeep. That matters for many people - especially for this price. Branding matters and Jeep has never been known for luxury and I would say it's the opposite of luxury.
It can suck.
You get a lot of looks but not all are nice.
There is a I'm better than you stigma.
To each his own.
@@1234tellmewhatyourlookingfor for sure. It definitely goes both ways but it’s hard to imagine people who don’t want luxury when spending $120k on a vehicle.
Awesome video Howard and Steve!!... watching the show sitting at the new coffee table I picked up this morning.. Enjoy the day!!😃
Thanks! You too!
JEEP is my fave and would not want a new diesel in anything.....great video.
Hey would you be willing to review the Tesla Model X 2022??
Great review mate. You and pops are great together. Nice touch in the baby seats/options for securing. Now overall looks I would go with Cadillac. Overall Interior design look will go to Jeep. Engine yes the 6.2 is great but 6.4 just has more guts. Now the GM does come with 10A advantage. Really all 3 American big SUVs are awesome
Me personally I like the 8 speed better it shifts faster and just is more reliable and the 10 speed doesn’t really give you an mpg advantage
@@gbaby4rb64 listen I’m not knocking your experience but I have had tested many 10 speeds ( my channel ) vs 8 speed and the 10 speeds shift quicker and do offer a slight mpg advantage. The vehicles acceleration should also be quicker on 10A. Rear end gearing and tuning matter too. I got no issues with 8 speed but in my experiences the 10 does everything the 8 does but even better.
I did not notice the McIntosh sound system on the Jeep. Is it an option?
Ehhh theres my school Georgian College, didn't know you made videos up there!
The Escalade’s styling looks likes it’s trying too hard to be cool and and nice, where with the GW, it’s more understated, classy, and stately
Between the two I would go with the 2023 Lincoln Navigator, and actually I did 😄
Sorry this entered my feed a year later?! But there is a rear tailgate button embedded in the Cadillac emblem on the rear hatch
I’ve had an escalade and now a new wagoneer. I absolutely love the look of escalade, however, Wagoneer hits on practicality.
Simple things; hitting the cooling/heat. Wagoneer is very simple when it comes to climate control. Which is positioned under the screen and is more manual.
Not sure about the new Escalades you used to have to slide. Which was totally an annoyance and keeps your left hand further away from the steering column.
Always had electricity problems with Escalades and the screens on Escalades always have faulty issues…hoping wagoneer doesn’t have the same issues.
The 2022 Wagoneer, has amazing features. Especially with passenger control. The real version of navigator.
In the wagoneer…The sensors will also inform you if have something in the rear/back. It’s a nice friendly reminder, for busy people.
More head room in Wagoneer, but Escalade has a an elite look.
Both have there strengths. It depends what you use the vehicle for.
Do you have the McIntosh system?
@@DJR5280 it does. 19 speakers. Insane nice
Great review. Are the Escalade cameras really that pixelated and bad? The 360 view looks like a child's toy. I'm very surprised at how bad they look. Maybe it's just the video.
This comparison is great. My dad has been looking at both of these. Thanks!
they could be better.
There is a small button for the glass latch and the Cadillac emblem is also the button!!!!
The Cadillac logo on the back is the what to push to open the rear gate.
These SUV's are getting so big! Why not have a set of third doors for those third seat passengers. Seems silly to have to climb in behind the second row seats.
Silly for the Grand Wagoner, yes. From the odd exterior design it appears at glance that there’s a third door there anyway. 🥴
Have you ever tried to lift a car door?
you can’t really climb in from the outside to the 3rd row with the wheel well in the way…
@@mybro727 Right?Waiting for a big SUV with sliding door and diesel PHEV
It pains me to say this, but without the display screens in the second row of the wagoneer, I’d take it hands down. I really do like the look, the Jeep seems more capable, and if I had to spend that kinda money on a vehicle, it would be my choice
Could you review the 2022 Suburban RST 6.2V8 (69k) next please?
As soon as we get one.
This man doesn’t know luxury 👷🏼♂️😂🤣
Caddy is KING 👑
for a reason!
I’ll go for grand wagoneer because it’s super luxurious and still has that off road quality Escalade still lacks that’s why most people in the Middle East and africa prefer Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus instead the grand wagoneer might just add to it soon especially when they do a little bit of tweaks to some parts of the exterior
You’re NEVER going to take that off road stop kidding yourself!! 🤣😂
@@The1Karking lol not when you’re living in Africa even salon cars are taken off road in some areas especially rural areas😂
If I have to have my hands on the wheel, or look forward and pay attention as if I am driving I may as well just drive the damn thing myself😪 I can see a future when most cars have become "smart" the autonomous driving will be alot easier to program, what with them all being able to communicate and even form trains to draft and become more efficient...and I can also hopefully have my car take me home after the Christmas party so I don't have to go back in the morning 🤣
Pretty sure u press the Cadillac emblem in the back to open the tailgate
Will you test drive again with the ' super cruise ' in light and heavy snowing days ? All RUclipsrs test drove those self drive systems in sunny dry days .
We get these vehicles for only a week - so if test in whatever mother nature gives us at that time.
Being a auto guy and not brand loyal, I find them equal! They both have a couple features that's cool, but either way they are a win win.
That's terrible for an "auto" guy. You can do better than that. Much better.
@@krane15 I'll let you go for it!
@@TramaineleDay5655 Cadillac. Its unique on the road. You can literally tell it from a mile away, and you don't even need the million emblems they put on the car to recognize it as a Cadillac. I'll give the Jeep Grand Wagoneer second place. But if those screen start to black out, suddenly its not so modern as it was before.
@@krane15 I'll give it to you for your prospective! It's I have a different prospective.
Cool vid very informative and thanks for sharing!
No problem 👍
Very nice review. Happy Thanksgiving from here in the U.S.!
Same to you!
Personally, I like the look of the Wagoneer way better. I feel like the last 2 generations of the Escalade has been absolutely ugly. Too many geometric shapes and futuristic looking, just not a good look on a big SUV in my opinion. Even the interior is better looking on the Jeep. Win all the way around for the Jeep.
Thought i was the only one who thought the escalade was ugly..inside and out...
Makes no sense. The design is evolutionary. Meaning if you hate one, you hate them all.
I actually kinda liked the other ones..its just this new escalade is putrid to me...inside and out..
It's the opposite for me. Exterior too boxy from the side and rear angles. The square windows look like they took it out of a boat. Interior wise it looks amazing but exterior is unattractive.
@@Nestle245 Say what you will about boxy designs, but they are the most practical shape for people and their cargo. No silly sporty coupe shaped SUVs where the sloping roof line cuts into head room and sacrifices valuable cargo space.
Escalade hands down nicer looking vehicle. GW looks goofy with that back end.
that’s what I was thinking. The GW just looks silly, and it’ll break down within the next year with all that tech to fail…
@@brow06 it’s a fiat
Your opinion lol
@@F35B-p2o fact actually my guy
Lol
@@coreypatterson1386 lol
The button to open the tailgate on the Caddy is the logo
hi! Thank u for making wonderful review of both Escalade and Grand Wagoneer so as per ur experience in driving both so which one of them have lightest power steering where u can turn it by pinky finger?
Will the drive system work if you’re using the navigation system ?
I get the feeling that you're not looking for the Cadillac emblem that shines on the ground, showing you where to 'kick' to open the rear hatch (it's most visible at night but i think it's bright enough to be seen during the day) or you could just press the Cadillac shield.
@ 15:08 Tundra?
there is button for tail gate on cadillac push LOGO
The grand wagoneer looks like the Durango’s older-yet-slightly-more-unattractive sibling. I definitely agree that there is something awkward with how the rear 3/4 and rear in general is styled. The rest of the truck looks regal and elegant while the Cadillac is intimidatingly bold, razor sharp and MODERN. The Escalade is the CAPS LOCK of large suvs.
13 times. That’s how many times it’s been changed. My dads fleetwood brougham has the same emblem as my 07 Escalade except for it’s a hood ornament and it has a little crown and the crest and wreath are connected by a little bar.
The prices on vehicles as tested they’re not matching lol. Other than that I enjoy watching your videos very much
Just a quick correction - you’re spinning all the shafts regardless if you’re in 2wd or not. There is no real life zero fuel savings. You’d have some only if you can disconnect the front hubs which of course you can’t. Love the review!
Its a proper 2wd 4wd not an AWD tcase disconnects the front driveshaft
@@Enchanted3DPrints whether there is power going to the front or not, the front driveshaft and both front axle shafts are still turning. The theory that you save fuel by being in rwd with a system like this has been disproven over and over. If one could disconnect the front hubs and thus stop any movement and load in the front axles and driveshaft, only then one might gain some fuel economy. I also speak from personal experience. My Jeep had a tcase with permanent awd. Once I replaced it with one which offers rwd mode as well, my fuel economy stayed exactly the same. What you gain in rwd mode only is some maneuverability. That’s it.
@@thebulgarianguy8461 I had a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee with full time 4WD, picked up a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee with selec-trac that gave me 2WD...so, like many I thought hmm, I have a 2WD mode in this Jeep It'll get better fuel economy than my previous full time 4x4 equipped Grand Cherokee...nope, same fuel economy...because yes, even in 2WD all the shafts are still spinning as there isn't a front axle disconnect, or manually locking hubs....even with a front axle disconnect you still have the axle shafts spinning, it just disconnects from the front driveshaft that goes to the transfer case, so you are still spinning the front axle shafts, and differential gears which is where most of your drag is coming from.
@@wildbill23c exactly what I’m trying to explain to these guys. Same set up on my 96 Grand
As a jeep wagoneer owner mines is optioned out n I have the carbide edition I love the grand but I have the inline 6 n it's fast for a big suv they didn't have the grand I wanted but I'm happy with my wagoneer I have tvs n pass screen just not massage seats but everything else after a while doesn't feel big ass it looks
The Jeep may have expensive parts inside and out BUT it doesn't look high end. The Cadillac is more of an executive class without screaming overly designed and accented in chrome and glossy black and faux wood finish.
Going to guess somewhere around 18 times they changed the emblem. I would love either of these vehicles if i could afford them. Lol. Both look great. I think the jeep offers something different for people who don’t care for GM or the looks of the Escalade.
I agree both are very beautiful vehicles I have the baby escalade 2022 XT6 was super surprised after going into dealer for service on my xt5 and left out with brand new xt6 thank you santa
Totally unexpected!!!! Still gouging everytime I open my garage
The Cadillac emblem on the back of your lift hatch is your button.
These vehicles are targeted to high end CEO’s not your general citizens, that live pay check to pay check. Plus in Canada 🇨🇦 you will get hit with another 10% luxury tax on top of HST putting these vehicles into 160 thousand out the door. Coming soon in 2022.🤑😳😬
That Cadillac will be dirt cheap at around 120k miles, right before the oil pump belt is about to fail and the transmission will have to be removed to replace it.
(1) Isn't the scheduled replacement around $140K? (2) I don't think a one-time $2K job will have a huge influence on the value of a $120K vehicle.
Awesome, thorough comparison.
Good stuff gentlemen.
The rear hatch on the Cadillac can be opened by hitting the cadillac emblem you don’t have to use remote or foot ! Do you have both vehicles at the lowest level of stance.
Cadillac all day long! Better looking and you can get it in ESV form for more room, Jeep you can't! I travel a lot towing an enclosed trailer ( snowmobiles and 4 Wheelers) and having the option of a diesel is a must. History also shows the Escalade having a much better resale than the any luxury Jeep SUV. The wrangler obviously has the best resale, but it's not luxury. Great video, but you guys really need to get more similarly comparable vehicles. I'll point out the obvious as well, you should have compared towing characteristics :-) You guys are still the best, keep it up!
The extended wheelbase Jeep is coming and the Jeep is better at towing and has a better interior also the wrangler and Escalade have the best resale because their based on trucks trucks have great resale value so you can’t determine the resale on the Jeep yet because they haven’t had a vehicle like this in a long time the closet vehicle to this would be a wrangler considering they’re both body on frame
The long WB jeep will be out next years and from what I’ve seen and read it will be 2-3 inches longer then the GM/Ford Long WB big SUV. Currently the short jeep is 215 inches which is 4-5 inches longer then the Tahoe/GM cousins.
Cadillac has better looking exterior but Grand Wagoneer has better interiors. Except for the curved screen on the Escalade that's more sexy.
Monster cars.Imagine having both of them in one garage.
as a man i can see where the supercruise on a road trip with the misses would come in handy
Can y’all do a Lexus LX comparison
You open the tailgate on the Escalade by pressing the emblem
I'll take the Lincoln navigator or aviator 💯
These 2 trucks should have 24" rims
Great video. Good review. Too bad you couldn't take them out off road a little. :)
