The only good thing is parts are cheap and plentiful. LOL It will actually be worse than your truck (well, not including the system). You carry air in that bed of yours. They'll be carrying seats and such. Though DANG. That's the same number my dad gets in his "not quite 3/4 ton". 4WD and/or 4.10 gearing?

I think its got the 4.10 gears as well. oh well I dont drive it much so its not that big a deal.

Vilim12 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Idk about the price, that thing will probably be nothing but trouble at that age and those miles. You can get a pretty decent car/truck for that price...

BJD3 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) Idk about the price, that thing will probably be nothing but trouble at that age and those miles. You can get a pretty decent car/truck for that price... Actually, beside the problems already listed, this era of GM trucks are fairly trouble free. That 5.7 is a cockroach. I've personally seen a couple those things go over 300,000 miles and still be solid. On occasion I'll see our old Suburban, and when we got rid of it it had over 280k. If you take care of it, it will take care of you. My worries come in with me wondering if the previous owner(s) took care of the truck. EDIT: Though I don't follow Escalade prices, I do think the price is about 4-5 thousand too high. You can't get around the fact that its a 13 year old truck. I can buy an Escalade that's five or so years newer for 1000 more. Edited July 5, 2010 by BJD3 Quote Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.
