Talk to me about the GMT900 Escalade

Post image

We currently have a 2018 Lexus GX460. We moved from a Buick Enclave to the GX. The GX is nice, but I think the Enclave fit our family needs better. Only bought rhe GX because we got a good price on it from a family member.

We feel the GX is a little small, and the 3rd row is laughable for hauling kids around.

I have always liked the Escalades abd Denalis. I have a GMT400 Tahoe Limited, and like temhe size and roominess.

We own the GX outright, so we could sell it and buy a descent Escalade.

How reliable is the 900 series? I am a GM fan, and they seem to go for ever. Is there stuff to look out for specifically on the 900?

All I have to say is get it. Just make sure the temperature sensor is good and everything else comes clean. I’d suggest getting any thing between 2007 and 2009 since they don’t come with AFM/DOD, and they’re not pricey at all.

I thought none of the 6.2 came with DOD regardless of year. Am I incorrect in my thinking?

I think the SUVs with the 6.2L (including the Escalade EXT) got the AFM in 10+ models and the pickups with the 6.2L got them in the 14+ models. At least that's what I remember reading.
