Thanks Eddy’s Chevrolet Cadillac for selling me the 2005 Escalade 2 years ago and loaning is the Escalade V. Check out their amazing inventory here: www.eddyschevroletcadillac.com
Time to trade in the Cyber truck and make April really happy with an Escalade V. I have owned two Escalades, a 1999 and a 2002. The 2002 was a lot better in reliability and luxury. I definitely want another.
Another awesome edition of April's garage. Always look forward to these being posted. And April please drive more fast vehicles! Your enjoyment is so entertaining to watch!
I believe Tyler's Escalade just makes so much sense. You don't buy a Cadillac land yacht to go drag racing. Noise isn't a selling point for a Cadillac. Quiet and extremely comfortable. The fact that the 2005 is still so easy and cheap to maintain is just icing. It's rich and sensible which makes it truly rich. Rich people stay rich forever through generations by not being frivolous. They still know the amount of their grocery bill even if they aren't the ones picking them up.
Rich people will buy anything, as long as they can show it off to their friends. I see so many of these new expensive land yachts on the highway and I can't believe there's so many people that would pay over a 100K for their vanity
Even that one made no sense. In the end that gen Escalade is still very truck inside. More leather and lace, but truck dash, and console, and body and driving with a bit more comfort. Back then? My buy was you bought a Buick. Buick Ranier. V8, AWD, and a much nicer interior and exterior.
Seeing April SOOO into it for its looks and especially for the Super Charged V8 experience was really amusing in a great way! As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
My friend's father had a 2nd gen Escalade, and I remember thinking it felt like a limo inside. They're really nice, and the older generations are incredible value for the price.
Tyler, I think you have finally found the right one. April is such a kind,sweet, intelligent and beautiful young lady. You two belong together. I wish y'all all the happiness in the world 🌎. Especially after all of the past problems that you h have been through. I think you two belong together.
Idk. Over 600hp, acceleration faster than ANY early/mid 2000s muscle car. Comfortable seating for 7. Heated and cooled seats. Super cruise that can be compared to tesla auto pilot. The coolest exhaust note you could think of. Comfortable seats(I'd assume). I can see an argument for a 150k+ price tag.

The V is an amazing vehicle, great styling, performance and interior. However 170k plus is just insane! Pricing across the entire automotive industry has gotten out of sync with what consumers can afford.
Pretty much every big store at the mall got hooked on high profit margins , and are no longer big stores at the mall. Gm is doing the same thing, forgetting that the man who sells silver wears gold, the man who sells gold wears silver. I suppose with leasing price is less of an objection, and it's just about the payments. Negotiating over payments instead of price is a situation that makes dealers rich.
Tyler, should take April to Monaco and gown her out at the Hotel de Paris, and do some very high end car spotting! That would be epic for your channel and April, would be an international star!
Alex you have such a great collection of Cars. It’s no surprise your channel has done so well. You seem like such a genuinely nice person and are a damn good mechanic. Best of luck to you and the family.
I had OnStar on my 2004 H2, it was well worth the cost. Even with a new battery and alternator due to the electrical issues it constantly needed jump starts of it wasn't driven for more than 2 days. A portable jumper box was the best purchase I made because it also got used alot.
My grandfather had one in that exact color and so did my dad in that exact color. I miss that Escalade so much we also had a 2004 riptide blue Chevy suburban the long wheelbase version both great trucks. I miss both of them
If I ever win lotto I'm getting myself a Hoovie aircraft hangar man-cave. That place is the ultimate! Having an April in there certainly doesn't hurt either!
Those chassis are the silverado frames thats why the new 2020+ escalades are more bulkier then a previous gen, and these have air ride and magnetic ride
Not too shabby for a 6,000 pound vehicle with 700 hp. Most likely being flogged by the owner. That being said, I'd never buy a vehicle like that for even $60K. Back in the 70's, Ford and Chevy trucks with barely 200 HP V8's were getting that kind of mileage, unloaded.
I managed to pick up my 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V for $147,000 out the door. You can find them under MSRP or at MSRP if you spend the time. But they are stupid hard to find without a moronic added dealer markup.
ive had a riptide blue collector edition 2006...special rims and grill and 2 tone interior...really miss that truck..bullet proof also had a 2007 before the cylinder on demand stuff...great truck had a 2012 do kind of miss all 3 lost money on all 3...wish i really would have kept the 06 bet its still going
Proud owner of a black 05 escalade with the same wheels even. It's all the luxury I need and reliable. Escalade V is neat but to me these cars are about relaxing and going where you need to go. Not about speed. The premium of a V would let someone buy a new regular escalade and a Model 3 performance for that push you back acceleration.
April sounds like a 16 year old girl in her first ride in a 1970 454 big block Corvette. Then she looks at you and just says " Mine . " You get the Datsun 210 now.
Would you be willing to add notes on the screen of what the actual stat is when you’re not sure of it during filming (like air ride vs. MagneRide on the new Escalade)? (13:20)
Funny how small the 05 looks compared to the new one, especially in front view. 170k + and average 8mpg though? No, I don't think so! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
I loved and still miss my wife's 2015 Escalade - that car was awesome. She decided to get rid of it a few years ago for a Range Rover Velar and I still give her crap about that. I wish she'd never done that.

First time I’ve seen hoovie almost laugh when April was giving it the beans lol. You should supercharge yours to 700hp you haven’t done any builds in a long time
I’m sorry, but there is no way in hell that I would ever pay that kind of money for a Cadillac Escalade or any other Cadillac. A Ferrari, or a Lamborghini, maybe, but not a Cadillac. I suppose you have to be out of your mind to spend that kind of money.
I’m sure you’re just gonna run out now and spend $180,000 on a Cadillac. Post a video when you get it. Here is the reality. That car is gonna be worth half of that in a couple of years. But if you buy a Ferrari for that kind of money, it’ll hold its value for a lot longer. Use your brain, numb nuts.
@@nicholaswicks3077 Considering a 640hp CTS-V was around $80k just 5 years ago, and a 556hp V was $70k 5 years before that... Yeah. They've lost their minds. Bro. 🙄
I own a well equipped Yukon AT4 of the same generation. There just isn't enough difference between the Yukon (especially the Denali) and the Escalade. I like the Escalade and would love a V, but the price is out of this world.
I remember when the head of GM was a man who vowed that the Cadillac would never get a SUV. That guy got shown the door and his replacement got those first Escalades on the road. Caddy doesn’t even have a sporty coupe anymore. Just sedans and SUVs.
@@richardmorris7063 I had a full time served mechanic friend who with new wife decided she needed a new car he found one they both liked, and like you the first year warranty free to extend was given as a monthly fee, he said to the muppet how much is a new full engine I think it was 2k he then asked about a new gear box 1k fitted, he looked at the bloke and said your warranty if I blow the engine and box out of the body is still not worth the price. he purchased the car it was fully serviced on time as he stamped the book but got the labour done by another mechanic at work and in 5 years it had done about 60,000 and only had tyres and brakes not 1 brake down.

You have my old demo in that 2005 when I sold Cadillacs back then😭...great video
Sorry, but there is no Escalade worth paying 180K, even if inflation weren’t a variable today, or yesterday, or five years from now.

You can get nice later model Escalade ESV's all over the place for under $30K, seems insane to pay $180,000 for a supercharger and super cruise.
The black Cadillac is very nice, but the black white one is also a nice old Cadillac to have and drive once in a while
That engine sounds so good I forgot April was even in the truck driving it!!!
lol, The last vehicle I drove that had 8mpg was a Durango back in the late 90s. Can't believe there are still vehicles around with mpg that low.
