Cadillac Escalade GMT900 (3rd Generation)

2007–2014 · GMT900 · suv

Third-generation Escalade on the GMT900 platform (Cadillac twin to Tahoe/Yukon). 6.2L L92 V8 (403 hp) early, 6.2L L94 V8 with AFM later. 6-speed 6L80 automatic. Two-mode hybrid 6.0L L7X V8 offered 2009-2013. ESV long-wheelbase and EXT pickup (with Midgate) body styles also offered through 2013.

Watch out: 6.2L L94 AFM lifter failure (same family as the GMT900 V8 epidemic) — collapsed lifter destroys a cam lobe; $3,000-$5,000 repair. Air-ride compressor failures and Magnetic Ride shock leaks are the second-most-common complaint.
