I am the one vote for "Heck yeah". I have only had the GWIII for 2 weeks and so far it is awesome. My lease was up on a 2018 Lincoln Navigator Black Label which I really liked but chose the GW because of the design and technology and the Lincoln hadn't changed. I have to say that so far it blows the Lincoln away in almost every area. Most notably in the ride and handling. It is quieter and rides smoother than the Lincoln and the shifting is much smoother. The shifting in the Lincoln was clunky. The active drive assist is fantastic. The advancements in technology over the Lincoln are significant. I looked at the Escalade and the quality of the interior is nowhere near the GW - no center console in the second row?, reminds me of a mini-van. Knock on wood, so far I have had none of the quality control issues that many others on this forum have mentioned.
The only problem is the stitching in a small section of the steering wheel is unraveling. A new steering wheel has been ordered. I know that I haven't had it very long but at this point absolutely no regrets. If my opinion changes over time I will let you know.
Really happy to read this. I have a GWIII on order and it was between the Grand Wagoneer or a 2022 Navigator Black Label. My outgoing car is an Aviator Black Label, had a Nautilus Black Label before that, and an MKX before that. Was a huge Lincoln fan clearly. Test drove a base model Wagoneer, no air suspension or many options, and it felt much softer and smoother than my Aviator and the Aviator had air suspension; I was blown away. Drove a Navigator right after just for comparison (a 2021) and it was done, I ordered a Grand Wagoneer immediately. Can’t wait for it to arrive! Going to take a little bit of time to get used to no more push button shifting.
I also looked at an Escalade just for S&Gs. Wasn’t crazy about it and the dealer was playing price games. I was actually quoted almost 20k ABOVE sticker on a sport platinum. I LOL’d in their faces and drove right to Jeep.
Currently awaiting a scheduled production date, I can’t wait!!
