0:09.6 | four. Okay, there you go. Somebody says the magic words. Here we go. You expect to be launched into outer space. |
0:15.3 | Definitely with this. Definitely sounds like it. For sure. Trucks this make shouldn't move like this. This is a 6,300 pound, |
0:23.4 | three row body on frames suburban. Okay, Tahoe. Okay, technically escalate. But the point is, it is the escalate, which we really like. |
0:32.9 | We like the escalate quite a bit. Awesome. I like the interior. I think it's the best escalate ever. Why don't we put a nearly 700 horsepower engine in that? |
