Lincoln Navigator vs. Cadillac Escalade vs. GMC Denali

[UDT89]

Well in 3 months my lease is up.

I was browsing my dads dealership and saw some 2000 and 2001 escalades and navigators in my price range. I would be financing a majority of the cost with about 5k down.

I just want to get some opinions and any personal experience with either truck. Other than the body styles, they seem to be very similar. Which engine gets better mpg, which is more powerful, smoother rides, etc.

I hope to test drive them in the coming weeks, so when i do i'll update this post.


Thanks
Matt

UPDATE

Called my dad and he has a couple of Denali's in my range. Anything on them>?

Oops, sorry. Didn't see the 2000/2001 bit.

...the Cadillac Escalade, which was totally redesigned for 2002; the Lincoln Navigator, totally redesigned for 2003...

anyone own one of these trucks?

seeing that the Cadillac Escalade vs. GMC Denali are basically the same truck, I'd get the cheaper one

They are but they aren't.

It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that bling

 

[Soybomb]

Denali, less bling bling

 

[masterxfob]

i personally like the denali

The Escalade gives you the biggest "bling bling I'm trendy and have too much cash" factor.

LOL

funny stuff. well people that know me know im middle class so im not worried what others think.

Dont hate the player, hate the game.

If you don't care about the look, definately go for the denali. It is exactly the same as the caddy except for the front grill and some more soundproofing. And the navigator is suck.

Wow, that's horrible I drive my mom's 2001 Suburban alot and even with it's larger size, It gets much better mpg. I'd say highway 18-19, 15 or so in the city.

None of them. Every time I see one on the road in front of me blocking my view I wished that I had a grenade launcher.
