American luxury used to be served up within the confines of the lengthy four-door sedan, but now it comes in very big boxes. Here we pit the redesigned Cadillac Escalade against the Lincoln Navigator — both larger than my first apartment and considerably better furnished.

These posh pachyderms have been locking tusks for 22 years, and the evolution of this species hasn’t exactly been moving along at a brisk pace. The Escalade and Navigator are still body-on-frame “trucks” based on less distinguished members of their respective families — the Chevy Suburban and Ford Expedition respectively. The Cadillac just gained independent year suspension this year, while the Lincoln crossed that evolutionary threshold in 2003.
