The 2007, 2015 & 2016 was POS. The 2007 with piston slap & driver door wind noise. The 2015 & 2016 had the 8-speed which was improved in the 2017 but never resolved so the 2018-2020 was saved with the Ford/GM 10-speed. The 2015 & 2016 had boom, vibration issues, cue screen spider webs, suspension was stiff due to the upper/lower control arms made from aluminum. The 2017-2020 suspension was fix with the steel control arms. The best year is the 2009 which had the flex fuel but no afm. The 2010-2020 had afm which any of the four lifters can collapse. The 2010-2014 was the early version with the technology than the 2015-2020 was improved somewhat. It is a hit or miss but if you use Dexo 1 oil and change the oil bet. 15-20% then your odds is slim. The 2021+ has dfm instead of afm which has worse of a chance for the lifters to collapse because it shuts down any of the eight lifters vs four lifters like the 2010-2020. Some 2021+ owners had issues at 5k. I had a 2008 which lasted me 14 years and now I have a 2018 which my lifters collapsed at 79k. It costed me 5k to fix. Supposedly GM replaced my lifters with the updated ones so time will tell. The 2020 is the last truck-like Escalade before switching to the independent rear suspension instead of the solid axle. Also the 2021+ Escalade had to be made taller and wider for the independent rear suspension so it does drive like a Navigator/Expedition which lost its unique character. When my 2018 gets high miles I will get a low mile 2020 platinum.

So...to recap a Toyota/Lexus SUV is your friend

So if I get a 3rd or 4th Gen Escalade a Warranty is needed or you will pay alot of money.

Hello, I am from Europe, specifically from Poland. We Europeans appreciate exotic cars, including American ones with powerful engines. I am deeply saddened that Americans complain a lot about the Cadillac Escalade - I didn't think they were so prone to breakdowns. I have a question for you: would it be a better choice to go for a 2010 Suburban

I bought a 2015, biggest POs ever!! One problem after another. And for the final problem engine spun a bearing! Fixing and selling and getting wife a Honda odessy mo more pouring money into this pos

Not worth the money.
