It's all about money. The Esky has a heated steering wheel and LED headlites, the Tahoe doesn't.

Dennis: You can't lock the doors w/ the key in the ignition on the NBS. Not sure when they started that.

Fast55: The reason they dropped the heated washer was because thru GM's ineptness, they forced the mfg into bankruptcy. I just bought one from the successor company, AlphaTherm, for my new one.
I asked my dealer about retrofitting it and they said it could be done. I haven't really used it in the '07, so I passed on the $400.00 they quoted for it. The wife is still after me for the heated/cooled cup holder thing from the Escalade. Still hoping to find a wrecked platinum to get the parts cheaper.

Many times american (not sure if the foreign companies do it?) over the model years they start deleting items that were there early on due to $$$$ savings... If you notice the MSRP goes up and more times than not the content of the vehicle not as much. I noticed this in the trailblazer line as well.. 02's with the bose was the "real bose" 04+ used bose speakers but lesser quality, power folding mirrors on LTZ, dropped LTZ and never offered the mirrors again? Chrysler has done this as well in behicles i woned from them going from older to newer in door lights changed to reflectors, glove box lights... etc, etc.

I'm sure some are because of complaints, reliability but from my experience, working in a bunch of different car lines over the years (10yrs total before switching careers Ford, Pontiac, Chrysler, Jeep) it's about a penny here and there..

HHHAEEAAA HHA HAAA sucker... I got a $940 check for my troubles with it after the dealer and GM gave up after 7 trips!!!

I got no where until I opened a case w/the BBB... If your dealer can't fix it, I can give you my reference # from GM and the BBB so you can say, hey, it's been done before...

Did you see this from ford?
not only does it blow away anything on the market, it's 5 years ahead of anything ever!

If I could get this in a F-150 Raptor... it may be game over for my Tahoe...

The LED headlights are another Platinum edition thing like the heated/cooled cupholders, all other Escalades have HID's. There are so few of them even in So. Cal. I haven't been able to find a wrecked one.
