Escalade V or Mercedes AMG G63 - Unnecessary Fun | Everyday Driver

[@georgimihalkov4781]

The Escalade V is a very cool car and a great alternative to a GLS, X7, or a Range Rover. But the G wagon sits in a class of its own in terms of desirability. There's a reason why even 20 year old examples are worth crazy money.

[@emekaiheanacho274]

A class by itself

[@schwuppdiewupp7]

They are even sold out until 2024

[@feelthatfeelthat]

The only reason older G wagon's cost so much is because they 99% of the population can't tell the difference between a new and old one. Thus you could technically 'ball on a budget'.

[@jameskester7745]

I do agree somewhat, but I think the Caddy does a whole lot more for the money. Why be just fast, when you can do it in the epitome of luxury

[@georgimihalkov4781]

@@jameskester7745 The Caddy definitely does more for the money, but the G wagon buyers aren't really interested in bang for the buck value, they want the status symbol. And if the epitomy of luxury is the goal, then the Range Rover and the GLS are the better options compared to the Escalade.

[@Pete_Finch]

I'm a biased V-series owner but I can't believe how much I want that Escalade V. It's so preposterous that I can't not love it

[@peterjordansonthe2nd731]

Truly absurd, the exhaust just makes it so exquisitely ridiculous. Which V model do you own? All of them are super awesome. If I was super rich and didn't have to work, I would buy an Escalade V and become and Uber driver, hehehe

[@andreasbeaufort3594]

I could have NEVER imagine someone could have such a blast with a door slam or the throttle lift-off popping! Those moments were simply hilarious! Thanks for another excellent video, guys!

[@pearlmossberg]

I want a G Wagon ...I drive an E 350 wagon and love it. Its timeless, durable, and classy.

[@electrikoptik]

This G-class might look like the first gen G-class that dates back all the way to 1979 but this second gen is fully new from the ground up. It's not old-school at all. The only three parts from the previous generation which were carried over to the new generation are the headlamp washers, the push-button door handles and the spare wheel cover bolted to the rear tailgate.

[@chh7681]

and now they added keyless entry!

[@whoisdesirtv]

This is my dream garage. Escalade for the road trips. My G-Wagon for dates and pulling up to the office.

[@brandonjames1606]

Having a G wagon is like having a pet python and taking it everywhere. Great line

[@TheSkullknight12]

I thought the SL was Merc's longest running nameplate.

[@peterjordansonthe2nd731]

The AMG reference about the people who buy that G Wagon is spot on

[@NICOGIA300]

I would much rather have the G WAGON. It’s all in the engineering / build quality.

[@RoperCrew]

Was recently at Spring Mountain and they were driving us around in that Es-ka-la-day. Everytime the gas pedal was released, that burble and pop .... It was fun at first but then I had that same reaction as Todd :-0 Good review

[@gene978]

I love Todds face when he looks in the camera and says “My Co-Host is seduced by Big clanking doors” The look on his face cracked me up 😂

[@morganvon5664]

I'll take the resale value of the G Wagen over any other SUV.

[@christopherjackson5829]

Wrong answer. This blackwing caddy with hold waaaaayyyyy more value in 10 years

[@christopherjackson5829]

These WILL be special

[@MrGreenelight]

A used Mercedes will deprecate faster; as will any German brand and cost far more in repairs. The GM V8 engines are the best, most produced, most swapped in engines for all makes and models, and overall best Automotive gasoline engine developed in automotive history. ( you literally cannot find and car that someone has not swapped a GM V8 engine into from Lamborghini to Yugo, search for yourself) en. To be honest, Jeep Wranglers hold their value better than any SUV. The GM (Chevy) V8 is the highest production and most used Automotive engine EVER.....yes..EVER.

[@Zenoforever]

I was never expecting you guys would have that much fun reviewing SUV/truck. Love your impressions to these "sport trucks"

[@iamthelaw69]

"There is no sports car on this planet that has more burble on liftoff than this truck." >Jaguar F-Type has entered the chat

[@MLHunt]

Lol 👍🏽

[@phattyhales]

Even the F-Type burble has nothing on how long the Escalade V burble lasts. It is truly absurd.

[@moloono1]

You guys deserve way more subscribers. I love the commentary, production value, and content. Look forward to the next video!

[@EverydayDriver]

Glad to have you with us. Thank you!

[@kylerodgers3608]

AMG G63 wins before even watching - it is the most unique SUV in the game

[@MrGreenelight]

Maybe thats why the Escalade outsells it so much. The Escalade has been and continues to be more poplar and outsell all luxury SUV for twenty years straight.

[@keithjackson4985]

The burbling on that Escalade, ridiculous! I still like it!

[@dammyo6010]

I would never have a need for either of these, but I am very glad that they exist.

[@MrReese]

The scenery is just beautiful in this video. And a very interesting comparison, glad you two had fun with those monsters :D.

Lovely! You should compare the GLS63 AMG vs this $150k Escalade. The G63 is not direct competitor and to be honest, a fashion accessory. In terms of driving, the G63 is way better for city and daily cruising due to smaller size. People do not realize the G is smaller in length than an E class.

[@user-pq2rf5ti7c]

G63 рядом не стоял с эти эскалейдом

[@kc510]

I can’t even imagine what these feel like. I rented an Expedition Max last week in Colorado and I thought the power of that ecoboost was pretty amazing. Could likely beat my GTI 0-60 while weighing twice as much. Cruising 80mph up 70 at 1750 rpm. Crazy times.

[@bigmountain7561]

I want to put a LS7 in a 79 Coupe de Ville. Keep the car looking bone stock but do a little suspension work not a Canyon Carver just enough to handle the power and a nice set of dual exhaust. Maybe 21/2 inch coming to the rear and the tail pipe tapered down. Just something to have fun and cruise long distance. Great Videos Thank You 🙏

[@shekharmoona544]

Coparts will be your best bet in the near future for an LS7.

[@bigmountain7561]

@@shekharmoona544 Watch the video again and tell me that G Wagon door doesn’t seal properly. You can see daylight above their left shoulder.

[@georgedavidov5250]

Escalade V’s are selling for $200K with markups and will be worth half that in a couple years. I’ll take the G wagon.

[@gourami7]

200k is Lambo Urus money, I know what I would choose

[@edeverick23]

Fun fact, if a g-wagon does fall over, it's designed not to roll, just land and slide... They were going to use one in The Terminal List show on prime, but when they found out it wouldn't flip and roll they switched to the Porsche (sorry Paul). Episode 5 I think.

[@saviordream]

That exhaust burbling in the Cadillac is similar to the one in my Camaro 2SS 1LE. I can make it do that every time I lift off the throttle in Sport or Track mode (actually, I have it set to do that in every mode!), and it's a riot. However, I think the sound duration seems to last even longer in the Caddy, which is saying something, as it can go on for quite a while in the Camaro.

[@carycoller3140]

Cadillac should have built this years ago.

[@IcelanderUSer]

I was in Cambodia back in April 2023 and was shocked how many Escalades and ford raptors there are there. I saw more than I ever see in the US.

[@mtlsi]

I despise such cars, but enjoy watching your videos and smiles. And especially smiles when closing the doors. 😂 Thank you.

[@AHSx85]

Yes , thank u very much.. I know GM when it’s built that monster They will built it to meet your ambitions. 🥰

[@mybro727]

Both icons in their own right, but I’m more of a Cadillac guy. Their design language stands apart from anything else on or off road (also found on the track 😜) and it is bold but opulent. Nothing of the size will drive, neither does nothing growl like that _V!_ 🔥

[@MrSppoonnyy1]

The place to shoot that episode is just perfect. Thanks

[@mukwanofred9147]

Thank for the great video. G wagon unique in its niche. This gen still as capable as prev though 2019 refresh brought in more electronics, luxury in power train,independent front suspension as opposed to solid axles.. I have my G270 CDI but does everything and beyond. Esca good but competition with other SUVs like x7,range,etc

[@jamesbrown3358]

I couldn’t stop smiling. You both had so much fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@run2jazz22]

I have read many reviews on the Cadillac Escalade but the "Elephant " in the room is the reliability with the 6.2 engine and the dismal fuel mileage on premium. I would until the glitches are worked out in a few years like the Blackwing and then the vehicle is one of the baddest M5/S6 killers out there. This has potential in a few years and they should consider aluminum like Ford as it might be give this better gas mileage.

[@DaRkVeGeTt0]

The lt5 is aluminum… and complaining about reliability when a g wagon is in the same conversation is stupid at best.

[@billwynne27]

THAT EXHAUST SOULD IS FANTASTIC!! A LOT BETTER THAN MANY HYPERCARS. IT SEEMED THAT YOU CAN REDUCE BY PUTTING IN SNOW, BUT THAT MOTOR AND SOUND ARE FANTASTIC AND YOU GIT A LUXURY VEHICLE, THAT FLIES. LIKE MOST TESTED VEHICLES, I'LL NEVER AFFORD ONE. 😂😂😂🙃🙃

[@cesarspinnygameing6303]

Actually there is people who need this for example my uncles they own a “logistics” company in Mexico that requires them to get out of situations quick. And need extra hp for heavy equipment like bullet proof windows and doors.

[@PoishPrince]

I take the Cadillac all day long but that popping sound in the exhaust would start to annoy me

It only does it in V mode

Вот вот что режимы надо менять, ппц Вы тут артисты, этот g63 не стоит своих денег сколько за него просят!!!! Разуйте глаза

[@lamachhorne9043]

The Merc is obviously a status symbol with as unjustifiable a price tag as status symbols go. Arguably, the Escalade is also a status symbol, but it's also a lot more than that. It's elegant, roomy, comfortable and on and on....If I had $200k to splurge my, choice would be very easy.

“The G is Mercedes longest running nameplate”. Err hello says SL…

[@espn1086]

I choose Escalade V over GLS or Gwagon or any BMW. The 7 seater, space, comfort, ride quality, performance, sound. I would take it anywhere relaxing and when I want the performance press the V button

[@erickosorio6842]

Escalade : city G wagon : city and off Road

[@morbvsclz]

If I had to choose, it'd be the G-Wagen. Just the charisma and look of it. If I want to spend 6 figures on a car, I want to walk up to it and smile about this one being mine... Look out the kitchen window into the driveway and feel like something special is parked there. And the G-Class gives that a lot more. If I had 4 kids to haul about, then the story would be different... I'd buy a VW Multivan or something of that sort for the family and an entry level Cayman, a Nissan Z, or a Muscle car for me. For the same price on aggregate probably 😀

[@krookdfinra]

Powerwise it would've been more comparable to use the g65 amg but i suppose they wanted a v8 vs v8 comparison. But yea no gm went too far when they did cylinder deactivation. I won't own a new one. The quality isn't there anymore and has too many electronics involving fuel economy. I'll take a g wagon any day over an escalade. There's no comparison offroad between the two.

[@madfemurfast]

GREAT videos. This is a great KZbin channel. Bravo!

[@BellaB2B]

I own the previous model g63 amg and I absolutely love it for its brute character despite the horrible ride quality, poor engine build quality, and rust lol. Working on an offroad build with it!

[@davidquinn9676]

Re: the diss for recirculating ball steering. When Lincoln was manufactured by Ford's separate luxury car division, the Town Car had recirculating ball steering. When that division was eliminated and it was moved into the main Ford manufacturing flow in 2003, it got rack and pinion, which is cheaper and more compact. Why did Benz change the G to rack and pinion? I know space is at a premium in its front end. They used to mount the engine on a slant in the G class because it couldn't fit in flat.
