My truck is 13 years old and still makes everyone jealous. It is incredibly dependable. Cost of repair is no different than any other truck. Has the handling and ride of a car. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

My 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT has been amazing, especially in sloppy winter driving in up state NY. It handles amazingly well for someone with a led foot, even on icy roads. It's made up for a lot of my mistakes, and it does it discreetly. It currently has 42,500 miles, and I can't decide if I should keep it or get a new one. I love this truck.

Ever since this truck came out in 02'. I wanted a Cadillac Truck. And I got mine and my dreams came true... It rides like a brand new one, and my interior looks great. It has 20'inch rims and perelli tires. Factory everything else, and it still runs like new. I get about 15-18mpg.. My family loves it also and we can't wait to get a new E.X.T., and for anyone thinking a/b getting 1. Do it, its a blast to drive and ur friends will love to hate you in it!!! Ride American luxury at it's best...Cadillac Escalade EXT..

INCREDIBLE! The room, the power, mine is s'charged with almost 600 hp. The look, black with 24" ASA wheels from the Tire Rack(a must have). Everyone wants a ride or there picture with it. Like being a rock star. Don't buy one if you don't want the attention. No one can get enough of this BAD BOY! Never considered a Cadillac before. Everyone said Cadillacs are old guys cars, now everyone looks to me for a ride. The ultimate in excess, over the top in your face truck! This BAD BOY ROCKS! Made a trip to Vegas the first weekend I had it, couldn't beleive the looks we got, or how everyone moved to the right to let this BAD BOY go past. INCREDIBLE!

I have never been in a vehicle that has made me feel so proud. This vehicle exemplifies class. There is no other truck that can make the transition that Cadillac did from luxury to truck.

This is the best car I have ever driven it has every thing. I get great mileage on the escalade and have lots of fun driving around town in it. The seat are comfortable and the color of the outside and the inside are outstanding. As much money as I have out into this vehical it has givin me so much more back. I think every body needs to have a cadillac escalade you will never regreat buying this vehical it is such a good car. I want to thank the company for making such a realiable truck. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've only had this truck for less than a week and I am totally in love. I've owned numorus Cadillac cars over the years and I was always impressed with the level of comfort. However, I have always owed a pickup truck as well. Now, this way I can kill two birds with one stone. My EXT might not get as many looks as an H2. But I know for a fact the guy behind the wheel of that H2 is not NEARLY as comfortable as I am in this truck. And the H2 might be bigger but I also know I can out run him with the awsome power this caddy has under it's hood.
Wow!

Wow! This is an all around great car to buy. Even though it is quite expensive-it is GREAT! I love everything about my Escalade. I was hesitant at first about buying this car. It was between the Cadillac Escalade and the Lincoln Navigator. The features are great with this car!!!

The Cadillac EXT is a truly dream machine...my husband ordered this vehicle as a surprise, and had every available option put on it (we had admired them ever since they hit the market)...the attention to detail is something to be appreciated. The thing is a class act, from bumper to bumper, and the interior is total "Cadillac comfort" throughout. It is amazing how agile this vehicle is, considering its size...you have to drive an EXT to experience how well it handles. It has plenty of "get up and go"...very responsive. Be warned-If you decide to take and EXT for a spin, it will be love and first drive, and you will be hooked! :)

This has got to be the best truck I have owned! I bought it used to see if they are really truck worthy and yes they are! Great power, comfortable ride, all the bells and whistles, and beautiful looking! Get a lot of compliments from a lot of people. Does awesome in the Colorado snow, went up some hills that I didn't think I could go up, but it cruised right up with no problem!! This is the all around vehicle for families. Towing, running around, or just cruising, this is the ultimate Cadillac. I will most definitely be getting a 2009 model soon! Love these trucks!

If you've come this far in your Escalade research... YES, it's worth it! This truck/suv is the best. Yeah it's bulky, bad on gas, tough to park, but did you expect anything less? Oh, and not to mention the looks you get in this, the monster under the hood is out of this world, this baby moves!

I feel like a teenager (now 50) with my first love(auto).The neighbors chat, and Men and WOMEN everywhere have to comment on the truck.The seats, sound system, and utility are all A+++. Long drives are tireless. We did Christmas shopping for eight in one day in the rain. We had a 12 ft tree tied to the bed and must have looked liked Santa's modern Sleigh (w/345 reindeers under the hood)! It will tow 6,000 pounds on a 6% grade uphill at well over the speed limit, while having sufficient chassis, suspension, and brakes to make it safe, easy, and fun. It drives in the rain like it's on rails. I'd buy another.

Very comfortable and roomy ride. Cargo/Bed converts very quickly for hauling - great place to keep your golf clubs and towing items locked up safe and sound. Loading up the cargo area made no noticable impact on driving characteristics. Hauls my 6000 lb. boat very well.

I had the truck less than a week and realized it was leaking oil. Took it back and it was repaired. Dealing with the dealership about the little bugs with a new car was a nitemare but the truck is incredible. Fast, smooth great sound system. I even had the chance to race an acura with it and won... not off the line but after a few seconds I cought up and passes them. It's big though... can't be affraid of driving if you are buying this truck
Outstanding

Great vehicle but some suggested improvements. One be sure and check on delivery for a trailer hitch pkg, this is not a standard feature? I got it thrown in after purchase with little effort but could have been a $400.00 mistake. Also more ground clearance would be nice.I understand this is not a true off road vehicle but for $57,000 loaded with all wheel drive you should have better off road options.(Standard Ford or Dodge 4X4 ROAD clearance would make this vehicle perfect 3-4 inches higher.)

Replacing my pickup, i bought the ext. a good and bad move. The first month, I didn't see it. Three times it stranded me, and had to file a complaint with the BBB. The truck is now running fine, but GM still hasn't called back. The truck is a good ride with lots of power, and I've hauled 12 ft lumber in it without a problem. Definitely overpriced!
worth the extra bucks

Although the pricetag is substantially higher than the Avalanche, the features, performance and comfort more than make up for it. I have 4k miles on mine and so far it has been trouble free. Only complaint is gas milage is terrible. I am averaging 12 mpg city and not much better highway. Its alot of fun to drive and pulls a 30 ft 7500 lb travel trailer with ease.

I bought in December with some reservations. Perhaps it cost too much. Perhaps it was too big of a vehicle. I thought it was beautiful, however, and I loved the drive. If I bought a sedan, I would need to rent a truck at times. The first week I was amazed with the compliments. Every day I drove it I found something more that I liked. After one month, I was excited at every opportunity to drive it. Sometimes when I drive it I find myself thinking it is the greatest vehicle man has ever built. That may be extreme, but I have never been more pleased with a car or truck that I have owned.

I'ts awesome and still looks great at 13 yrs old. I've had very little maintenance just had the park assist replaced and the wiring had a short. Truck latch was expense nearly 300 to replace.

The rating system here doesn't do this truck justice. It definitly deserves a rating higher than 10. This vehicle is in a league of its own.
