I bet a lot of people will ***** about this (not us). I love it.
There will also be another gen V8 after this one.
GM will be the last to axe the V8 engine, if they ever do at all.
Who? I've never seen anyone on this site get mad at a car for offering a V8, if anything the opposite is true lol.
Like Steve said, this is only possible because GM has a lot of high-volume trucks to put these engines in. But something designed as a true bespoke performance engine like the Blackwing V8 will likely never see the light of day again from any mainstream brand.
A power take-off or power takeoff (PTO) is one of several methods for taking power from a power source, such as a running engine, and transmitting it to an application such as an attached implement or separate machine.Most commonly, it is a splineddrive shaft installed on a tractor or truck allowing implements with mating fittings to be powered directly by the engine.
I have a very good friend who has been trying to convince me to pick up a used Escalade.
He over 200k on his and said the best vehicle he has ever owned.
Don't remember the engine he said it has but it may be a big block and has been dead solid reliable.
GM never put a big block engine in the Escalade. It had the 5.7, and then the 5.3 and the 6.0, and then the 6.2. Those are all GM small-block engines.
In fact, GM hasn't put big blocks in production vehicles since 2007ish when they went to the GMT900 platform and killed off the 8.1, which I think only lives on now in RV's and other large vehicles.

Downloaded some pics & info last night on the new Escalade- coming soon in my next post.
Not only this, they have/are investing nearly 1 *billion* dollars into the project. This isn't directed toward anyone but don't always fall for what the TV says. Americans need and WANT their V8 vehicles. EVs yes are big... But GM spending nearly 10 figures on V8 production is pretty noteworthy.
