Need Advice!

I have a 2012 Escalade and the tranny is on its last leg. It has 140k miles on it and I think it’s not worth replacing since it’s only worth around 12k. I found a 2019 Escalade with 51000 miles for 37k from dealership.

I like the new LT or RST tahoes but I don’t want to stress about the engine problem after dropping all that money. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated.

I can’t go ford or Toyota after driving Tahoe, Yukon and Escalade for the past 22yrs.

Escalade EXT 2002 with only 11,000 miles. Amazing shape for a 24-year old vehicle.

Escalade sport creaking/clunking suspension

Just bought a 24’ Escalade Sport, 32k miles with 24” Vossen wheels. The suspension creaks/clunks. Even when sitting still if the you raise or lower it you can hear it. It sounds like it’s coming from the underneath the vehicle but definitely the suspension. Called to set up an appointment and the service advisor said it could be the wheels. Which I’m not buying.

I called Vossen and they said these wheels are a direct fit for Escalades, Yukons and Tahoe’s. Even said many dealers put these on the cars direct from the factory and sell them this way new.

Any thoughts here? Thanks for the help.

Towing with an Escalade

I've been shopping higher end Suburbans when I noticed Escalade ESVs are roughly the same price on the used market (looking at '16-'20s). And they sure do look cushy!!

How is towing with the Caddys? I do notice it doesn't have a trailer brake controller, seems easy enough to add one? Anything else I should look out for?

I'll be towing an open race car trailer, about 4k lbs. Looking for a Burbie / ESV for the space for all the associated race car clobber I carry around.
