2016 escalade white or 2016 Srt8 Jeep white

The Escalades run good with the DI 6.2! Not SRT quick by any means but very respectable for what it is!

Kids - Escalade
No kids - Joop
 
It's a hard call. Both very nice SUVs and I'm more than lucky to be able to have 2 cars like this to chose from, but the day of 2 cars with 2 payments and have one of them just sitting in the garage is about over. My family needs my help and the HC needs to go. I have a buyer for the HC and the dealer is taking my Sierra in on trade.

Both the jeep and caddie will have a payment within 60 dollars of each other, so it's a hard decision. I love cars and always will, so that is why I keep leaning toward the SRT. It's good for everyday use, but you can still hang out on WW and car events. That caddie is nice, but does not have any real fun factor to it. If I was to lower it and do a nice set of wheels, it would stand out from the norm, but the fun factor is just not there IMO. The only reason I have not said yes to the jeep, is being 6.2, the jeep tends to feel a bit small.

The market is just missing a bad ass larger size suv that is fast and fun at the same time. Only real option is the jeep and it's just a tad to small for us taller guys.

I'm not worried room for the family, we have a full size vechile for family events and trips that require the extra room.

It's a hard decision either way, as I have worked my ass off for over 20 years to be able to have 2 cars, but times change and life happens, so it on to the next chapter.

Thx for the input.
 
personally i'd go with the jeep but im also not 6'2".. been in both and if i had a full size at home when needing something bigger. then why not
 
No kids would push me into the SRT8 Jeep, especially since you said you have a full size vehicle for family trips or when you want extra room. I don't think the Escalade would put the same smile on your face as the Jeep would. And then the Jeep is woodward ready with a few bolt-ons.....exhaust, cold air, and a tune, and they sound and move out nicely.

Oh, and i'll just leave this here.......

Escalade. I've owned 3 Jeeps, loved them all, and may own another some day down the road. But given the choice here, I'd go with the Caddy.

I hear you. Sometimes practicality has to win out.
I’m the guy who just sold his beloved GT convertible
to purchase a Honda CRV!

And before some of you guys start bashing, you do
things like this when you have two kids in college at
the same time.

They can bash you once they start paying the tuition bill.

I have two kids in college at the same time so I know what you mean, however I also have a motto "life is too short to drive boring cars". Jeep all the way.

I'm 6'2" and my gf has a new Cherokee that I drive regularly and I have plenty of room. I can't imagine a Grand Cherokee being any smaller. I think you'll be fine with the Jeep.
