  1. The question isn't whether the XT6 is as good as the Escalade. It's whether it's as good as the Lincoln Aviator. And the answer is no.

  2. Even more striking than the Aviator's advantage over the Caddy XT6 is that it's arguably a better value (!) than a comparable top trim Explorer. The top trims of the Explorer (ST and Platinum) with AWD have MSRP's of $60,000 or so. A moderately optioned mid-level "Reserve" trim of the Aviator is about $4000 more. It shares the RWD-biased AWD system and the 400 HP engine of the Explorer ST along with a far more upscale interior. Even more striking is that the RWD platform of each is supposed to provide a significant benefit in terms of towing. But the Explorer is has a tow rating of 5600 lbs, only slightly more than the 5000 lb rating of several FWD platform rivals. The Aviator, on the other hand is rated at 6700 lbs. If one is going to spend $60K-$70K for a midsize three row SUV, the Aviator looks to be a far better value than the Explorer Not to mention the Caddy.
