Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Huge power from its big V8, solid handling for its size, innovative packaging offers excellent utility, features galore.
Cons
- Poor fuel mileage, a few noticeable instances of cost-cutting, steep price tag.
What’s new
For 2004, the EXT adds XM Satellite Radio, a tire-pressure monitoring system and a towing package as standard equipment. The rear-seat entertainment system and sunroof can now be ordered together. Quicksilver and Red E are new exterior colors, while Silver Sand and Green Envy are no longer available.
Edmunds says
It's gaudy, expensive and sucks gas like a '70s Eldorado, yet somehow manages to retain a level of desirability we can't quite figure out.

Cadillac, worth every penny

2004 Cadillac Escalade EXT 4dr Crew Cab AWD (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
My Escalade has been a very dependable truck. If you are looking for luxury, but still want the ruggedness of a truck, this is it. I highly recommend it. The Bose audio is decent, but you really need a sub to go with it. It is fun to drive. The factory chrome wheels will do for a while, but I really need to upgrade to bigger rims. Overall, I like the exterior and interior styling and the … performance is there when you need it.

2004 Cadillac Escalade EXT 4dr Crew Cab AWD (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
This is a great vehicle. Spacious and
well appointed with the Cadillac
rebates and special offer for DVD
Navigation, Chrome Wheels and Sunroof.
The paint is amazingly soft and
smooth. The performance on this
vehicle is almost legendary. The ride
is smooth and solid. Steering effort
is nearly sports car like, firm and
responsive. The craftsmanship that
went into … construction is apparent.
Closing the tailgate is like closing a
refrigerator door, smooth and soft.
Not clunky-cranky like an old pick-
up.

2004 Cadillac Escalade EXT 4dr Crew Cab AWD (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
This Truck has been nothing but good to me.
I have a little over 100k now and have had to replace rear air shock/struts, under warranty the rotors and two brake calipers.
This thing runs like a champ with that 6 liter under the hood!
Even with the newer body styles running around I still get the occasional thumbs up from folks.
Keep your foot out of it and MPGs are alright.
Great Cadillac

2004 Cadillac Escalade EXT 4dr Crew Cab AWD (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Had a 04 Denali XL, not real happy with
that vehicle for the cost vs. workman-
ship - received a nice deal on the EXT.
only have put the first thousand but
what a delight, GM can build a vehicle
as good as any other country, this is
my 40th new GM product and never
happier with any before, was just about
to go to the other side, thanks for the
Cadallic EXT.
First tank … of gas was great, at least
2/3mpg better than the denali, same set
up, better milage. Never expect real
good milage with big vehicle, so happy
when it happens.
