21 Escalade ESV Performance

[ArabianOak]

Dragy'd the wife’s Escalade this morning. Gotta admit, pretty impressed with the numbers considering it weighs 6000lbs!

I grew up in the foxbody era and this truck runs fox body numbers. lol. Video…

Top speed limited to 124mph

Not too far off (0-60 and 1/4 mile) from the '86 Porsche 944 Turbo video review Travis posted. Not bad for a school bus. LOL.

The 6.2 does not disappoint.

I like the 6.2, but wish I had a 5.5……

Nice! You never ran the Navigator, did you?

no but I think it was slightly faster than the caddy...i saw one review online running a 13.5 in it...not sure if that was a tuned ecobeast though.

the caddy does have a higher limited speed though...the navi i hit 112mph in several times...it was limited to that speed. Had all the kids and wife in the middle of nowhere wyoming and they demanded a top speed run...lol.

The Navi missed and sputtered quite a bit even from new for me. I couldn’t stand it after a while. With its gitterbug electronics and hollow feeling interior…didn’t like it.

The ESV is more my speed for sure and the 6.2 is solid. It is smoother, quieter, better ride, better looking, etc.
