In 1998 Ford launched the Lincoln Navigator into the automotive market. GM quickly devised a response to the Navigator and in 1999 GM introduced the first generation of the Escalade. The original Escalade was launched with the 5.7 L Vortec 5700 V8 at 255 hp engine and Autotrac selectable 4x4. Over the years the Escalade became infamous for having almost identical designs as the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Yukon Denali. GM did not produce a 2001 Escalade but instead redesigned the SUV for the 2002 model year. In 2004 the Escalade received many different changes to the luxury of the vehicle including optional 20 inch rims, XM satellite radio, second-row bucket seats, and a tire pressure monitoring system. In 2005 a Platinum edition of the Escalade was introduced. The Platinum edition featured heated and cooled cup holders, 20 inch chrome wheels, moon roof, three DVD screens, and chrome accents on the steering wheel and grille.
In 2007 the Escalade underwent another remodeling. The 2007 Escalade's engine is an all-aluminum 6.2 L Vortec V8. This pushrod engine includes variable valve timing, a first in a mass-produced non-overhead cam engine. The engine produces 403 hp (23 hp more than the GMC Yukon Denali) and 417 lbs of torque. The Escalade comes with a six-speed 6L80 automatic transmission.

  • So how do you get rid of the limiter?

  • @ilovemesomechicken I'm assuming there is a plug-in tuner for this engine that will also remove the limiter

  • My dad has a 2009 ext with a supercharged 6.2L and z rated tires.it has no limiter.

    That thing smoked my uncles 2003 supercharged Harley-davidson f-150 buy a lot.it hit 155mph in about a ¼ mile.

  • @sanfancisco09 I would need to see a video to believe those speeds

  • 106? my bro and i tried passing some guy and the guy gunned it and so did my bro and i know we hit 110+-

  • @ICEMAN1MLG I doubt you did if you were in a stock North American spec Escalade

  • @LimitPushing So would it be illegal to remove the limiter?

  • @LimitPushing

    There's something a lot more dangerous about one of these things being supercharged.

  • @jessicaburciagishot

    thats exactly what I was going to say

  • why the hell would they put a 160 speedo in a car that is speed governed to go only 106? false advertising.

  • ha thats wack
