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.
bc the rear is flat, air flowing above & under vehicle is forced back on to the rear surfaces. its just how air flows around a brick on the road. you'll notice that some newer suv's have (raked/angled) roofs that channel air across the back window almost eliminating the need for a rear wiper.
They build cars way too complicated ! Brand new still some problems... Imagine the second buyer owning a 10-15 years old with almost everything going bad. IRREPARABLE.
Even my 2019 with 35k miles had so much problems i think for this amount of money i think you should not visit a dealer for at least when you hit 80k miles
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!
Here is a hack for the AC I use on my Cadillac XT6.. I don't have any problems with the front vents but what I do is get the rear ceiling vents and aim them towards the passenger and driver.. very refreshing especially with the ionizer.. make sure your front and rear AC is on sync
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
Hey Don. Thank you for your video. I'm driving the 2021 model and would like to ask you about the media device. Which one are you using to play media on the back displays? Greetings from Switzerland, Paul
Our 2021 went through batteries. It was impossible to jump off leaving us stranded. Then the fuel module went out with 24000 miles on it. It stayed in the shop a month to get the part. When that fuel module goes out nothing works. We traded it. 4 times towing it was scary for dependability for wife’s cars. I have no idea why this car could not be jumped off. It was jumped once successfully.
maybe a short cct somewhere bleeding power when the vehicle is off. exposed wire within engine compartment or under carpeting within interior. or possibly the battery connectors weren't on tight so the battery wouldn't get regularly recharged/topped-off by the alternator.
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 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!
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.
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
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.
the vehicle Bluetooth module is (persistent) which is annoying. its set to "always" connect a paired device whenever comes into range. i have a little Logitech Bluetooth adapter for audio connections to a old Bose media center. i'd arrive home listening to music or on a call & the Logitech Bt would immediately grab control of the phone connection. it was no way to disable the "auto" connect feature even on the phone settings.
Thanks for your light touch yet informative review. Interesting how the Bluetooth connectivity switches between primary and secondary...that is all faulty software sensor signal processing...sounds like Cadillac/GM could use some Lockheed Martin F-35 Flight Dynamics/Battlespace Management Software Sensor Suite Computer/Software Engineers to sort their systems out (a Georgia Tech Grad degreed Computer/Aerospace Engineer who works for a large American defense contractor's Aero company.
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
Thanks for watching. Here is the device: How To Unlock Your Infotainment Screens By Adding Apps Like Netflix And More ua-cam.com/video/3tTpNPnOAhA/v-deo.html
I am considering one of these as a guy. Yes, it may not be as sophisticated as the europeans but at the same time, I'm American so if I'm buying something that expensive I want to be big as possible, can carry me and my family comfortably whenever we have huge road trips and outlive me cause the thing is our roads are huge, the car better run up to even a million miles. It seems like something I'd trust on a road trip. Also with European vehicles, My knee likes touching the dashboard a lot and I feel claustrophobic.
Just FYI on the power boards, you can open door to deploy running boards, then hold foot on boards and close the door and they will stay down till you open and close door again.
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.
I so agree on the front mud flaps and dirt and grime around the rear window. Wow!! After we paid all that money for Super Cruise, they plan on charging more. That would be a deal breaker for my next Escalade for sure. Thanks, great review!
Agree with where the vents are not very happy with locating I have a 2022 sport upgraded the wheels have exhaust and S&B intake it sounds awesome . Thanks for all your likes and dislikes .
It’s going to be so interesting seeing the depreciation of these types of vehicles, and them hitting the used market. Great vehicle if you’re able to afford all the other nuances it may come with out of warranty.
My issues with mine: Rear entertainment screens were absolutely useless, couldnt even connect anything to them from an ipad or iphone. The main display was super slow to load, loading groceries is painful, the back mats are shit like u mentioned, putting down the mid seats causes them to hit the front seats, the brakes are useless on such a heavy vehicle.
The password message. I had the same issue. You have to change password in the app on your phone then put the new password in the vehicle. It worked for me. That message was so annoying.
Does ur vehicle goes up and down when u stop at the lights or when u driving? Like air suspension part i m talking abt? Its annoying that its frequently goes up and down while im driving
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
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?
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
We do and it works quite well. Correction, we have the IntelliBeam LED headlamps. Not the new adaptive headllamps. How they work: Utilize a high-speed computer with a sophisticated algorithm that can scan the driver’s field of view over 30 times per second, altering the LED headlamp coverage based on the scanned vehicles, motorcycles, and pedestrians in the driver’s field of view. This tech allows the vehicle to automatically adjust the headlamp beam to prevent glare for oncoming drivers.
What does it do? How does it work? We don't have that option available in the US. Can you follow a car with your high beams on and they just split the car in front of you? Or do they work differently?

Recommended this morning so rewatch till finishing saying GM revealed the 2025 gen. Big screens and powered opening doors while make more advanced, prefer the front style of your model better. Have u checked it?😊
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.
Yep we do the same. All fobs go in the box when we get home. You can walk up to the Escalade and it does not wake it up. Oh and my wife just found out how safe they are😞. She was at a complete stop waiting to turn left and cross highway and a person decided to pass the car in front of it? She was hit head on and this person pushed her backwards about 75 feet. She said she was encapsulated in the airbag and was worried about hitting someone behind her. Luckily not. She is still shaken and now nervous about driving. Arrggg

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.
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
hey i brought the black emblem from 404 parts. when i plugged everything up the emblem comes on but it do not go off, what am i are doing wrong do i turned the headlights on or off
Does this interior really gets dirty? Coz i have seen its cloth material on the side doors (not the leather part) and i m planning to buy exact same beige interior but really confused. Thank u
We had ours treated by the dealer so it would be less likely to stain. The floor mats are the hardest thing to keep clean being a very light cream color.
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
@@Donslife yeah I know what you mean it’s the same on my wife’s yukon. If the vehicle is locked and the key fob is anywhere near it will wake it up lol
We have a pretty dry climate out here in the Prairies. We have experienced good longevity with the wraps I have done out here. The Escalade is going into it’s second winter and I haven’t had to touch it.
Thanks for the useful video. I'll be frank. There are enough little things that don't work right, that should on a top of the line expensive luxury vehicle like this, that I am now reconsidering buying one. I had been seriously considering the Sport Platinum.
I dislike the powered rear view camera on my 22 sport. It gives the appearance that the car behind you is right on you a$$ and tends to freak me out at times lol
One could suspect that, but these issues were prevalent before the addition of the bolt on CAI and plug in pedal commander. The dashcam and radar detector are not related to the thing’s mentioned in the video either.
Wow what a life, I make six figures and their house and cars still feel extremely out of reach for me. I would need to make another 200k per year to do this comfortably. I just don’t know man…maybe I was born in the wrong family.
I grew up and was raised by a single mother. Working hard (very hard) since 14 years old. I can only speak for myself, but I have made some huge personal sacrifices that in the long-term would benefit my family later in life.
For the amount you paid for this. When I hear all the annoyances. I don’t do well with annoying things especially if I paid a million dollars for it. Thanks for heads up. I have a 2010 Escalade.
More the technology, more the headaches more the irritations. My advice we dont actually need all the technology in this world but just enough to help us in our day to day life. I dont wanna pay for stuff and then pay the doctor again for the headaches
that exterior wrap is pretty nice. buy the plain black & then wrap in whatever color you chose. the original finish is protected - helps for resell/trade-in.
People are more excited for the Lexus LX than the Escalade. Unbelievable... Reliability pricey outdated vs bling bling spacious updated for cheaper on used conditions.😮😮 I want a 2020 Escalade passion red, but I also love my peace of mind.. I am kind of confused for now.🫢🤔🤔
There are so many features in this vehicle that you haven’t mentioned. 1. Air Ride Suspension (accounts for a very smooth ride and allows for height adjustment) 2. Night Vision 3. Auto/self parallel and regular parking 4. 36 speaker premium audio (the absolute best sounding audio system in a vehicle that I’ve ever experienced) 5. 360 degree camera with really outstanding resolution (thanks in part to the massive OLED screen) 6. Outstanding leg and headroom in the 3rd row This “review” is really just things y’all didn’t like which are quite frankly so minute that it just comes off as whining
What a waste of $$$, $150K for this junk! The depreciation of these vehicles is off the charts!😂 For $150K I can get a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 s, use it for a couple of years and still make money on the resale. On top of that they had it wrapped - more $$$$ - for a frozen green color. Mud flaps!😂😂 You know that thing doesn’t see any off road duty at all, what a joke! It’s funny, pay all that money and he’s highlighting all the lapses in quality it has, but they bought it! So they don’t want any dirt and grim, really! Then don’t drive it! Ridiculous!
@@Donslife So... it's not yours. Lil less sass then with your woman would be nice during production. We tend to look like aholes doing that. I'm guilty too. Good looking Cadi either way though.
@@fishsizzle83 I came from my dad’s left nut, your comment makes no sense. You try insulting then you apologize thinking he wasn’t gonna respond, seem a little scared
Sorry you feel that way. The truth is you don’t know anything about us or how we got to where we are in life. Thank you for watching and I hope you find what you’re looking for.
Dude...it's so cool you get your wife and family involved in this. Such good sports!
Keep it up!
Thanks! We appreciate the support. The family does help out quite a bit
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.
Yes, escalade does have them and yes they are a pain to clean. I understand reason to make less road noise.
bc the rear is flat, air flowing above & under vehicle is forced back on to the rear surfaces. its just how air flows around a brick on the road. you'll notice that some newer suv's have (raked/angled) roofs that channel air across the back window almost eliminating the need for a rear wiper.
They build cars way too complicated ! Brand new still some problems... Imagine the second buyer owning a 10-15 years old with almost everything going bad. IRREPARABLE.
Agree- complicated means more repairs.
Even my 2019 with 35k miles had so much problems i think for this amount of money i think you should not visit a dealer for at least when you hit 80k miles
Learned a lot from this helpful review thanks Don!
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!

We had ours treated by the dealer so it would be less likely to stain. The floor mats are the hardest thing to keep clean being a very light cream color.
Do those smart care programs are really worth it?
What’s the contraption you used to play videos? I have the new Escalade too.

How much it cost u to do exterior color?
I love that thing. I will drive it to the wheels fall off 👑
Overall it is pretty fantastic
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.
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
@@Donslife yeah I know what you mean it’s the same on my wife’s yukon. If the vehicle is locked and the key fob is anywhere near it will wake it up lol
What color is the wrap?
This video the wrap is VViViD's Military Green Matte Metallic Ghost
i hope they fixed those things cause i would want an Escalade
Great honest review 👍✌️🇨🇦
Thanks 👍
I can't decide if I like these ones or those ones. Maybe these those-onses ?
Random question for you.
How is your wrap holding up during our Canadian winters?
Cracks/peels etc?
Thanks!
Newfoundland Canada 🇨🇦
We have a pretty dry climate out here in the Prairies. We have experienced good longevity with the wraps I have done out here. The Escalade is going into it’s second winter and I haven’t had to touch it.
@@Donslife Good to know!
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the useful video. I'll be frank. There are enough little things that don't work right, that should on a top of the line expensive luxury vehicle like this, that I am now reconsidering buying one. I had been seriously considering the Sport Platinum.
I dislike the powered rear view camera on my 22 sport. It gives the appearance that the car behind you is right on you a$$ and tends to freak me out at times lol
Same on 2019 haha😅
is don canadian?, ah found the plate, saskat. i saw mph for a sec and got confused.
Put it on a 6 inch Lift. 15 inch wheels and 44" tires.
Thank y'all
You’re welcome
Tesla wash mode is a pain in the ass !
I hope Donny is having PG rated conversations in the home office 😂
Never about PG-13
Nice one though 👍🏿 thanks!
No problem 👍
If the issues with your Cadillac giving you grief, maybe the tampering and modification could be the issues.
One could suspect that, but these issues were prevalent before the addition of the bolt on CAI and plug in pedal commander. The dashcam and radar detector are not related to the thing’s mentioned in the video either.
Wow what a life, I make six figures and their house and cars still feel extremely out of reach for me. I would need to make another 200k per year to do this comfortably. I just don’t know man…maybe I was born in the wrong family.
I grew up and was raised by a single mother. Working hard (very hard) since 14 years old. I can only speak for myself, but I have made some huge personal sacrifices that in the long-term would benefit my family later in life.
I drive a 2024 Escalade ESV. JUNK A/C Units especially rear passenger
Love the color!
Thank you! Cheers!
For the amount you paid for this. When I hear all the annoyances. I don’t do well with annoying things especially if I paid a million dollars for it. Thanks for heads up. I have a 2010 Escalade.
Thanks for checking out the video 🫡
My 2013 EXT stood the test of 11 years. Miss that truck for sure
More the technology, more the headaches more the irritations. My advice we dont actually need all the technology in this world but just enough to help us in our day to day life. I dont wanna pay for stuff and then pay the doctor again for the headaches
Why would you ruin a Caddy with wrap and dumb mods¿
Leave that stuff for the average vehicle and younger Gen 😂
that exterior wrap is pretty nice. buy the plain black & then wrap in whatever color you chose. the original finish is protected - helps for resell/trade-in.
Thanks
No problem
Monochromatic is ten times better

People are more excited for the Lexus LX than the Escalade. Unbelievable... Reliability pricey outdated vs bling bling spacious updated for cheaper on used conditions.😮😮 I want a 2020 Escalade passion red, but I also love my peace of mind.. I am kind of confused for now.🫢🤔🤔
Sounds about GM! Great looking suv though
There are so many features in this vehicle that you haven’t mentioned.
1. Air Ride Suspension (accounts for a very smooth ride and allows for height adjustment)
2. Night Vision
3. Auto/self parallel and regular parking
4. 36 speaker premium audio (the absolute best sounding audio system in a vehicle that I’ve ever experienced)
5. 360 degree camera with really outstanding resolution (thanks in part to the massive OLED screen)
6. Outstanding leg and headroom in the 3rd row
This “review” is really just things y’all didn’t like which are quite frankly so minute that it just comes off as whining
I think the title was clear. Thank you for watching. We have videos on several of the well known things you’ve listed
If you require that sort of refinement buy a Range Rover.
😊
The Lincoln Nav is way better ! High performance V6 4x4 on a fly ! Hauls Ass ! Seats hug you! .
No thank u. These things are expensive headache. They are screwing people over with the price. Not no where near worth it. Smfh.
No worries
Kind of pointless to get a regular sized Escalade for that much money, might as well get the ESV.
We had an ESV. The standard size suits our family size now
Well, after this video, im gonna save my 180 K and pass on the Escalade V. Just kidding !!! 😂. I’m ordering mine in September.
That interior is too shiny for me.
You wrapped a vehicle
Yes indeed. Wrapped this one 3 times now
What a waste of $$$, $150K for this junk! The depreciation of these vehicles is off the charts!😂 For $150K I can get a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 s, use it for a couple of years and still make money on the resale. On top of that they had it wrapped - more $$$$ - for a frozen green color. Mud flaps!😂😂 You know that thing doesn’t see any off road duty at all, what a joke! It’s funny, pay all that money and he’s highlighting all the lapses in quality it has, but they bought it! So they don’t want any dirt and grim, really! Then don’t drive it! Ridiculous!
He seems to be the one who thinks its his
Well, I do make the payments, so…
@@Donslife So... it's not yours. Lil less sass then with your woman would be nice during production. We tend to look like aholes doing that. I'm guilty too. Good looking Cadi either way though.
well if he bought it with HIS money I think he has the right to claim it as his own, he just allows his wife to use it..
@@brady4190 Who are you where'd ya come from? 😆 Technically it's the Banks. The Bank is letting THEM drive it. Right?
@@fishsizzle83 I came from my dad’s left nut, your comment makes no sense. You try insulting then you apologize thinking he wasn’t gonna respond, seem a little scared
Rich people's problems . Boo Hoo life is so hard let me cry a river for you Biff and Bunny lmao. Try going without food for a week
Sorry you feel that way. The truth is you don’t know anything about us or how we got to where we are in life. Thank you for watching and I hope you find what you’re looking for.
@erics9754 shut up broke hoe
Why watch the video? Maybe more importantly, how are you watching the video if you can't afford food?
Such a snowflake.
