I have never been in the Durango but I owned a modded trackhawk for a few years. There is no sound better then a Hellcat super charger with just a CAI. The Mopar motor makes more power easier then any of the many LS motors I have owned. No LTs for me yet. Saying all that I will still take the Escalade any day over the Trackhawk or Durango. but 145K lmao no thanks I will keep my ST

Side note the Escalade V should of had a LT5 also not sure why GM didnt. if the V was 100K id prob look at it but not 145K

They sound awesome too.
That they do. That they do ...

Yeah, I bet it did sound great! But even at 100k, the V would be a hard pass for me.

The two 22 ST's I had bought (one replaced the other) were the most expensive vehicles I had ever purchased. Now I had new Stangs, sports sedans, etc. but they were model year leftovers with considerable discounts that also had rebates heaped upon rebates.

Not so with the ST, where I had to search long and hard just to find one at sticker price. Lol

Totally understand I am def not the smartest when it comes to cars. I have 45k dollar paint job on a 61 bubbletop impala. I’m close to 200k in that car. There is a sickness in me that I’ve had my whole life I just love cars more then money.

I have always loved a Cadillac V but not that Escalade. That Durango looks more appealing

I lived in a house once that cost around $45k. :oops:

The V is nice, but it's so dang big. It's 800 lbs more than the Durango Cat while being down 28 hp. And look at its cornering stats, I mean who wants an SUV that runs high 12's but only pulls a miserable 0.69 g. At least the Durango Cat pulls 0.87 g, which is pretty decent.
