Wanted to bring this up as an interesting topic. I noticed that the Squaddie was returned to Warstock despite it being a removed website vehicle back then. I haven't checked if any other vehicles were returned but this was interesting to note. I don't know if this was covered before but wanted to bring it up.
I must add that the exhaust note of the Aleutian and the Cavalcade should be swapped. Being the real life Escalade is a V8 and the Expedition is an Ecoboost V6.
Rockstar are lazy idiots, they should really give each cars their own engine models and sounds. Vehicle badges should also match with actual engine model and drivetrain; - OG Karin Asterope's badge claims it's 3.5L V6 powering the front wheels, yet the car itself is RWD and use turbocharged, twin-cam 4-cylinder engine. - Vapid Peyote's badge claims it's a Supercharged V10, but uses a V8.
@@iammrdebonaireThere are lots of V8 SUVs left. Chevy Tahoe/Suburban, GMC Yukon/ Yukon XL, Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Grand Wagoneer, BMW X5 and X7, Porsche Cayenne, Audi SQ7, Range Rover, Mercedes GLE, Lamborghini Urus, and I'm sure there's more. They are a dying breed though. All of Ford's SUVs and most non HD trucks are now EcoBoost.
though the Landstalker XL is a LWB car, but this Cavalcade model is a SWB Edit: correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the day one Landstalker also a LWB model
It looks nice, but would've been much cooler if it was actually based on the Escalade-V - i.e. on the same pace as the Rebla GTS or Toros. I mean, we haven't gotten the Durango Hellcat or Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, so an Escalade-V would've been cooler. As such, I'd wait for the new Baller ST-D. It'll still be slow, but then I can pretend it has a diesel or is a fancier trim, depending on the performance.
Seems like they were making it a V and last second decided to do a regular Escalade. You can see in the logo it has the equivalent to the V badge on the door and actual model doesn’t have that.
Actually, it's pretty cool what rockstar did with one of the wraps for the car. The camouflage one one of the two is actually based on a real type of thing car companies will do to hide the lines of the car. So when a car is out on road testing to prevent the press or you know people who see it from having a clear picture of the vehicle, they were rapid in a special type of camouflage which will make it harder for people to recognize the lines of the vehicle. That way when the car goes into production you won't know what it looks like. So yeah good job Rockstar on that little automotive industry trick
I'm so glad they released it finally been waiting on it I could of bought it from somebody at the car meet the other day but decided to wait and they released it finally glad they did.
I love the amount of full size GM suvs in GTA online: 3 different Escalades, 2 different civilian Suburbans, and the police/FIB/Ranger/Coast guard Suburbans
I feel like DCA was idling on his PlayStation getting ready to launch GTA the moment the clock strikes 12 so that he can customize the caddy within 5/10 minutes of January 11th beginning lol. Like gunslingers from the old Wild West having the fastest trigger pull, except it’s this.
Something to think about with the next game that should be pretty interesting, with more cars being added with panoramic sunroofs, I imagine the next game will include at least a couple missions where you’ll be positioned high up, and tasked with taking out a driver or passenger. Danger from above, a sunroof is just another window that can be shot through.
(Un)fun fact: Most of the cars from this DLC have thinner tires than other cars which I don't like. If you look at the Dominator GT and the Cavalcade XL, they have very thin tires which do not suit them.
Although I've been really wanting the Baller ST-D, I guess this'll still do pretty nicely for now, I just wish the exhaust note was better, and that this had a colorable interior, but in the end I actually quite like this.

I really wish they would have actually made it sound more like an Escalade V, something with supercharger whine like the hellfire maybe, or at least give it a V8 exhaust note.
Lowkey the dripfeed has some bangers this time around, usually there’s only one car I particularly want and it always ends up being the last one released: the Sentinel C. Widebody, the Eudora, the Brigham… and with the Gauntlet i Interceptor seemingly being last that’s still the case. This time tho there’s a few I’ve been looking forward to, namely this and the Terminus. I’m really pleased with this DLC to be honest, nothing huge but after Mercenaries I feel really satisfied with what we got.
I'm pretty sure Rockstar got the engine sounds of the Aleutian and Cavalcade XL mixed up and maybe some stats too, The Aleutian is oddly fast for what it is. I'd try to make a ticket about it but i'm sure support will just give me the run around.
I drove the The Canis Terminus online Yesterday. It just sat there on the street. Unfortunately, I couldnt store it, but was 10 times more fin and quick than this white box with four wheels😂
Fun fact: armor affects weight which can affect air time, ram strength, skid/slide distance and other things attributed to weight. Also suspension can affect over/understeer as well as stability. If you feel like the car feels off, go back and forth testing different armors and suspensions
Speed is not affected you're right. But after literally years of testing I know it affects handling. Use 0 armor and do some laps then put on 100 armor and do them again. The car or truck will handle slightly different. Some cars slide easier and some will stick to the ground more. I know this from doing exactly that. No one else knows because everyone just instinctively put on 100% armor but like how some tired also grip differently it's a small unsaid detail that rockstar put into the physics
They did a great job with the styling, Escalade V is my ultimate goal because it's like a 700hp family house on wheels, in 10 years I am hoping to buy one clean under 80k and make it my own.
I’m a GTA+ member and can’t believe it’s free for us when I bought 4 of these at $2M a piece weeks ago. All 4 have Yankton plates and 2 have F1 wheels so idk if I’ll be selling them 😂
I know people think it's cool and all, but it's just another GM SUV, and I personally wasn't that excited since we already had a fairly modern gen Suburban
My best guess as to why they removed the V-inspired badge on the door is because it’s copyrighted, and Rockstar didn’t want to get in trouble with Cadillac, so they decided to cut off the badge on the door but leave it on the website photo. My best guess is that, but what do you think, Digital Car Addict?
The prices of the cars was the biggest deterrent for me when it came to GTA5 seeing how that’s my favorite part of the game. Haven’t played in years but I still subscribe. It just amazes me how the prices continue to go up 😆 and I bet they still only want to give you 10k-20k for completion of a mission. lol I truly hope they do better in GTA6…. But probably not because these clowns are out here buying shark cards like they give money in real life 🤦🏻♂️
One thing I don’t understand is why the Escalade (known as being a luxury SUV) is in Southern San Andreas Superautos, but the Ford Expedition (wannabe luxury SUV) is in Legendary Motorsport lol

Hey DCA, the Cavalcade XL is called like that because of its rival counterpart the Dundreary Landstalker XL

My new favorite SUV
This man decided to wait until the car came out before making a video on it.
Massive respect to you
Also probably didn’t want Rockstar pissed at him 😂
Wdym?
@@sprunkadctconsole players were able to acquire this car via a glitch

I must add that the exhaust note of the Aleutian and the Cavalcade should be swapped. Being the real life Escalade is a V8 and the Expedition is an Ecoboost V6.
It has a V8 supercharged 6.2L V8 lt4 engine from the c7 Z06 in the Escalade V. I agree
@@yusufgta4341lt5* and it’s from the c7 Zr1 but that’s the only the V model that’s supercharged

The Aleutian is more of the competitor
Rockstar might as well make it a Benny's custom car considering the amount of people that have it modded lol.
U think anyone at the studio fucks with it like that?😂 it would be dope asf
they might as well release all the vehicles too since people have them already
bought it instantly, love it, also the lil lights on the front bumper actually work too
Now this SUV is looking so stunning, I can’t wait to
Sure looks like gaming addict looking guy!
I’m a sucker for unique-looking taillights and those taillights look amazing against the white paint and the blacked out window

Would be cool if Rock* let your passenger shoot out of the sunroof like a turret. It would give them use.
It would have been cool if the Granger XL had an option to give it a minigun mount like the turreted Limo
Their use is to be fucking awesome. I love sunroofs.
saying “rock*” was so extra
My biggest gripe with this is that it doesn’t sound like an Escalade V should

Dangit, I hoped for the Range Rover.
thats what im sayin. how has there not been a drop on legendary yet 😭 kinda sucks cause i was one of the people who got the cavalcade early
@@shedontwantme7769 It is kinda weird, hopefully next time we get either the range or the Hellfire interceptor.
I was hoping it was the jeep
You're hopin for an STD...let that sink in...
I also had it early also have the Gauntlet Interceptor already it's a awesome car@@shedontwantme7769
I'm so glad they released it finally been waiting on it I could of bought it from somebody at the car meet the other day but decided to wait and they released it finally glad they did.
I'm glad that rockstar is finally using the modern interior for the SUVs now.
Love the actual look of it! Pretty mean looking! Quite elegant! Good stuff! 😁😎👌🏻
I love the amount of full size GM suvs in GTA online: 3 different Escalades, 2 different civilian Suburbans, and the police/FIB/Ranger/Coast guard Suburbans
It's 3 Suburbans since the Rancher XL is based on the 80s model.
Enjoying this SUV like I knew I was!
Hopefully GTA6 comes out with more aggressive exhaust sounds for these type of vehicles
1m used to buy the most expensive car with the highest top speed. Now 1.6m for a standard suv.
On the bright side, the engine sound perfectly matches its performance.
Hell yeah SUV'S 😍😍
Yessssss let’s go, my favorite drip feed vehicle, I’ve been patiently waiting
AND ITS FREE WITH GTA+ lets goo
@@jmweyandt1201Bruh it aint free if you've payed for a subscription 💀

Why does it feel so true
Can’t wait to roll around vice city with this whip

Finally it's out lol I got mine early from a modder
How do you not have more subscribers? You're the best! ❤😅
I feel like they got rid of the V badge because in the future they might have an HSW version of the vehicle. That’s the only reason I can think of.
And I feel like it will have the proper V8 sound in the ESV inspired configuration too.
(Un)fun fact: Most of the cars from this DLC have thinner tires than other cars which I don't like. If you look at the Dominator GT and the Cavalcade XL, they have very thin tires which do not suit them.
It’s better for big chrome rims
Although I've been really wanting the Baller ST-D, I guess this'll still do pretty nicely for now, I just wish the exhaust note was better, and that this had a colorable interior, but in the end I actually quite like this.
Those two things, exactly. Although I am not interested in any more Ballers.
This looks awesome!
At least some of us were able to drive it in the snow.
You work fast, DCA
Actually fire 🔥 looks like the headlights on my caddy XT4

Man the newer suvs in this game look so nice
Dammit I told myself I would never play this game again! BUT now I may have to check this truck out
I really wish they would have actually made it sound more like an Escalade V, something with supercharger whine like the hellfire maybe, or at least give it a V8 exhaust note.
I hope they add the V detail in 6 as vehicle emblems and lettering should be more defined

I'm pretty sure Rockstar got the engine sounds of the Aleutian and Cavalcade XL mixed up and maybe some stats too, The Aleutian is oddly fast for what it is. I'd try to make a ticket about it but i'm sure support will just give me the run around.
Now I'm hoping for the impaler sz or the jeep or range Rover next
I’m glad they got this truck out the way, since most of us had it for awhile now.
Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Made mine just like mansory Escalade v it’s pretty dope

I want an Escalade too LOL. If not, I’ll settle for either a GMC Yukon Denali or a short wheelbase Escalade
Hope you get it man 1 of my fav cars 💪🏾🙌🏾
This car is beast!!
The exhaust note of the cavalcade xl doesn’t sound right it has a v6 exhaust note when opening the hood it has v8 engine model for some reason
One of my friends has an Escalade and this looks just like it
Well this is not what I wanted but ok, still waiting for the Terminus and the Hellfire Interceptor
I feel like the Hellfire Interceptor is gonna be the last drip-feed vehicle most likely.
But who knows!
I got the hellfire interceptor and the jeep on ps4
@@Esteban.2023. what’s your gamer tag? I’ve been trying to find somebody with the jeep
I think this might be the first ever to have arm brackets to hold the hood rather than whatever it connects to
we need a jeep trackhawk and it’s needs to be the fastest suv in the game with hsw upgrades
I like the headlights better on this version than the counterpart. Kinda looks like Rolls-Royces headlights
this one neeeeds imani tech, already looks like a cyberpunk tank...
I like the headlights better on this version than the counterpart. Kinda looks like Rolls-Royce's headlights.
Man they really dropped the ball on the performance of this thing, it should at least be hsw upgradable or at the very very least Imani Tech
The version I have done have the V badge on the side
An suv good enough... i got two 😁👍
Missed opportunity to not have customization that gives it police lights and a presidential livery.
Does it have imani/ hsw or drift tuning?

In the beginning I hated drip feed… i still do…. At least the weekly drip keeps the game fresh
Bought GTA plus just for this car. Its bad ass and worth the $6 imo.
The cavalcade looks more like a Cadillac than the Cadillac with the continuous downward swept daytime running lights did I think the concept had
I hate that I got it too early now it’s like a two week check I gotta wait another week
I love it ! personnally made a built more like the Hennessey version but I can't choose between the dark mettalic red or a mat grey...
fresh ahh video
I got gta+ I had thus a month ago from the car meet, but now I got a garage full of them for free😂
If rockstar released this vehicle it could of easily had HSW Upgrades and Imani Tech Missed Opportunity
Week 5 of waiting for the jeep.
Lost track on what week it is
I like how the gave a little middle finger to people who bought this car of other players by making it free for GTA plus members lol
Not entirely, I should be able to get most of my money back as long as they didn’t patch the money for that specific car
GTA should make suv navigator with side steps come out every time door opens
Welp back to gta I go for a damn cadalac
I was hoping the Chevy impala
Looks better than I though
15:18 still not as bad as what they did to the Pfister Growler. I will never forgive R* for making a Porsche Cayman sound like a damn Honda Civic.
Nice
It will probably be a car that npcs drive around in GTA 6
Brother, the amount of money you could’ve saved by now modifying these cars in your auto shop vs office
Can we get a updated garage tour soon bro?
Bruh it would’ve been cool if they added the imani tech and armor upgrades
OMFG Rockstar i had hoped they gave it hsw upgrades 😭😭😭
Maybe they should come out with the Maybach suv
I hoped for so much more for this. I was so excited, only to be let down in epic fashion. Typical R☆
