The absolute worst part of your car is the cloth on the door panel , impossible to keep clean. Great honest review. On the phone issue, I unpaired mine, gave up.

Same problem on the Tahoe with the back window/hatch. When you drive gravel it’s like a dust vacuum back there and you can hold the pressure washer there for a long time and you will never get all the dirt out. I not sure if the Escalade’s have the carpet wheel well liners too, but those are tough to wash out when you drive wet gravel roads.

@speck6451 8 місяців тому

Yes, escalade does have them and yes they are a pain to clean. I understand reason to make less road noise.

@prettyboy1970 8 місяців тому

@bxb590 8 місяців тому

You can add the front mud flaps. There exists adjustments under each running board. Two (socket head) screws can be loosened and slide the running board (closed position) to the rear of the vehicle. In addition, if you have trouble with the running boards opening and closing, remove the boards then clean and grease the two pivot pins, washers and bushings. Each running board must not bind during its operation. If you have the "toe kick" switch at the back end of the running board; its' control wire has broken and should be replaced. Normal day-to-day operation will cause the wire to break at the "elbows" of the running boards. My Silverado High Country has had all these issues. Good Luck and this is a great video!

@speck6451 8 місяців тому

Great video, I have the 2023 Cadillac Escalade Sport Plat and would agree with all that y'all mentioned. But I would think what I would add is the ability to lock the vehicle from the rear hatch. In most cars they provide buttons to either close the hatch or to close and lock the hatch. Small things make life little easier

@Donslife 8 місяців тому

Thanks for sharing and watching!

@nutzthomas 8 місяців тому

Totally agree with the rear mats, let me know if you ever find an alternative. Thanks for your videos, keep up the good work!

@drewk8601 8 місяців тому

Nice review, as Doug D would say, of some of the "quirks and features". My suggestion for you two on the key fob "wake up" issue would be to pickup a stylish Faraday box to store your key fobs when not in use. The box will also provide added security of preventing signal cloning by car thieves when car is left in the driveway.

@Donslife 8 місяців тому

@humankind7355 8 місяців тому

My wife has a 23 Escalade with the Duramax and she’s absolutely in love with it, Dark moon metallic with the Brandy interior. She finally after 10 months got the update to have the reverse guidelines. She has the SD card 360 surround recording when parked and somehow that option eliminated the guidelines. Other than that, I do agree with many of your quirks as we share them as well. Just picked up some 22” winter wheels with some Blizzak winter tires to keep the chrome pretty in the spring. Keep up the work, your channel is damn decent Sir. Also, do you guys have the conversation enhancement feature? That is a damn cool feature and works well when you have family or friends in the back. Keeps the volume the person much lower.

@Donslife 8 місяців тому

We do have that feature, our kids are older now so we haven’t had to use it often as they drive themselves places. Way cooler than being with Mom and Dad I suppose

We have a 2021 Escalade and love it. That said, I’m about to surprise my wife with a V. (Radiant Red Metallic). I plan to install the black emblems (our current Escalade has the Onyx package-monochrome front, rear & sides). Do you find 404s painted emblems to wear well? That is my biggest concern, durability of the finish. Thanks.

@Donslife 5 місяців тому

We haven’t had any issues with the finish. They are a GM genuine part reseller with full GM warranty

Hi, I have a question I watched a review of the 2022 Escalade, and in it you had a device that you were discussing for the entertainment center to be able to use your USB I tried finding what it was in your videos and I couldn’t find it. Is it something you could give me the information on? I’d appreciate it. Thank you love the way your wrap came out. I have a stealth matte black wrap on black ‘23 sport premium

@Cocora22 8 місяців тому

Actually I thought you were going to bring out some super major concerns. Like lifters and torque converters and drastic electronic glitches. I had a 2018 thet the dealer never got 100% right and finally I got fed up and sold it. Now I'm kind of scared about getting another one which at this point would end up being the 2024, maybe. When you pay that much you expect it to be really high quality it should even drive itself!!! For free!😂😂😂

@Donslife 8 місяців тому

Our 2016 had way more issues including a full exhaust replacement under warranty.

@Cocora22 8 місяців тому

@@Donslife But at least they fixed it. Mine was under warranty but they kept telling my truck was fine. However every time I drove it it had this light vibration. I even put new tires and of course all that did was lighten my wallet. Now I'm super scared to buy one, but I do love that truck!

@splashawaypoolspa6856 3 місяці тому

Hey Don your wife’s Escalade should have an auto lock feature when walking away from the vehicle. My wife has it on her 21’ yukon.

@Donslife 8 місяців тому

It does and so does my Sierra. The key fob if too close (inside the house) wakes up the truck if it gets moved around. It has ruined many of my moments making videos in the garage. This happens locked or not

@nabatron21 8 місяців тому

@titanTitan-oo9hi 8 місяців тому

Can’t you just put pressure on the running boards as you close the door to keep them out. That’s how the AMP research running boards work for safety and knowing how thorough manufacturers can be that’s odd if not the case. Enjoy your videos, thanks for your insight.

@cooterschipper 8 місяців тому

lol beat me to it! thats what i was going to say, just put your foot on it and close the door.. My Tahoe would not pull them back in and my Amp steps on my Sierra does the same thing

I’m in the process of getting a 2023 Cadillac Escalade and the one that’s more convenient to get doesn’t have the air ride suspension. There is one 3000 miles away that does, is it really worth it? The one I test drove felt great but I don’t have anything to compare to except my Lincoln Navigator that I’m trading in. Thanks

@Donslife 4 місяці тому

I have a feeling the one with air suspension probably has a few more options than the one without. For that vehicle I think it is worth it, but I understand if it is too far to get (6000 miles) there and back?

@michv4361 4 місяці тому

Thank you so much for replying. I would just have it shipped to me but I would have to sell my vehicle instead of trade it in. Cadillac should just make all the Escalades with the air suspension. 😄 I'm used to my Navigator so the Escalade without the air ride drove great. Again Thank you for replying and I really like your videos. I'm going to get the Pedal Commander for the Diesel Escalade. It doesn't get up and go like my Navigator. I'm like your wife, I want it to GO. @@Donslife
