Default Buying a 2018 ZO6
So it looks like I am buying a 2018, is there any updates that I need to have the dealer do before I pick up the car

Yes, the MRC. It's standard on 2019's but not before. It'll cost you 350 bucks from the dealer but it's worth it because it significantly improves the ride.

I have the 2018 ZO6 and if I'm not mistaken the MRC update is not included.

In the ask Tadge thread about MRC he states that 2018s received some but not all..recommend you review that thread first.

I adamantly disagree with this. I know I'm in the minority, but am by no means the only one. This upgrade did absolutely NOTHING for me. I noticed 0 difference after getting this done.

I know the forum charges us by the letter when we post, but you're going to have to use just a few more to let us know what you're actually asking

Maybe they didn't really do it... You should have noticed some the harshness of the ride is smoothed out although if you are running in Sort or Track most of the time, you may not feel much difference

Nice looking Escalade. Good luck with sell/trade. I'd have to think long and hard about swapping that one.
