If so, I think this is the small one.
Yep, based on the Tahoe and Suburban, respectively. In that generation, the "Suburban" was called the Escalade ESV. This, as you noted, is the regular Escalade.

i'd have been impressed if anyone even got zender

this was only ever a concept car too, but if anyone beat the original midnight club street racing game they'd recognize it as the last car to unlock haha

they're actually still only partially correct

there was the escalade, the escalade ESV (big one) and the escalade EXT pickup truck!



they're all basically just an excuse to put on 24" rims, bonus points if they're the type that keep spinning when you come to a stop lmao

I like that!

Now I want the matching set.

Small Escalade suv and the Escalade pickup in matching colors, oh yeah!

The 24 inch rims do nothing for me though.

ahh i see... you're more of a 25 inch rims person! this vid does a good job of explaining the big rims appeal lol


btw are you familiar with the lincoln blackwood?



the early 2000s had a lot of great trends but impractical luxury pickups weren't one of them lol... now it's just funny to look back and see what deemed a good idea by marketing directors

I did not own or test-drive one, but did see and examine one at the D.C. Auto Show, and one or two of them in my area in local parking lots. As I understand it, it was so much of a sales flop that only 1000 or so of them were ever built (although Wikipedia lists 3383).

And I can understand why it did not sell...who would buy a work truck with rare expensive wood around the bed? Doesn't make sense.

16' extra stretch gives more room to party! Lol

Yeah me too, prices were probably high for a pickup back then in those dollars.

But a luxury pickup, now tour talking!

Bring the leather and fancy trim, I like that stuff. Lol

The Volvo 210 aka Duett was in production 1953-1969, a much loved "Handymans ride" as well as in offical use (Post, Telephone, Police, Power, railroads, armed forces).
Sadly many was cut up into "EPA-tractors" in Sweden in 70s/80s...

To fill the void Volvo came up with the 145 Express for a few years but it all ended with the 140/160 series 1975.

I don't believe I have seen one.

Someone loved it enough to keep it around all these years.

I have no earthly clue. Lol

But, I place it somewhere in the late 1980's to early 1990's.

And, for that time I think the interior looks good.
