Fun fact, there were 3 versions of escalade during this time period, the regular tahoe based one, the avalanche based one (EXT) and a suburban based one (ESV). The latter two were on a seperate chassis along with the yukon xl which is a modified full size truck chassis. The Escalade ESV is sadly the only one without the optional 8.1l engine. God knows why, It probably would have sold like hotcakes.

I never understood that engine.

Its a modern big block chevy that was updated and for truck use instead of developing a 10 cylinder sbc motor for people who wanted a gas powered high torque option instead of going for a chevy with a diesel which hadn't proved to be the best of options in that time period. Its existence ends with the death of the gmt800 vehicles which could be attributed to emissions, the duramax's teething issues being largely worked out and a wider acceptance of diesel powered trucks being for things other than farm trucks.

I think you would up the terror quotient even a bit more with a plain black grill replacement, sans the caddy logo. Headlights are great!

Personally I think it would look better with a smoked Cadillac logo on the grill. It needs just a little bit of color and class.

I personally like the roof rack because it hints that you could indeed be preparing for the end of the world...

*edit: also I've only just noticed the weird window shape on the rear doors. Huh. Wonder why they decided not to follow the roofline like the other windows.

Votin' roof rack. A roof rack is useful, and it also reflects the comfy-inside-tough-outside nature of this truck.

A second for this. Plus that roof-rack is too small/tiny for that truck. Get something legit bighuge, or leave it off.

My point is if you were planning on actually using it, why the gently caress would you take it off just because you don't like the way it looks? It's not like it makes a huge difference aesthetically.

Yes because badges are functional.

I don't think you get what I'm saying but it's your truck so knock yourself out.

I love the roof rack on my Envoy. Used it twice already -- once for a 12' Christmas tree and last week for a 12' A-frame ladder. Either of those would have been difficult, if not impossible, to transport otherwise.

Edit: But then again, that means using it for something, so take it off, I guess.

I think one of these might look cool if you could figure out a way to make it work:
