This truck is really comfortable and fun to drive. The reliability is awesome. The build quality is pretty good , but it's sort of plasticky inside. There are some plastics which should not be there, because of the price, and because it's a Cadillac, but it's alright. This is a really nice car if you're looking for a comfortable truck. Its a pretty good performer for a truck.

I love my new Escalade, but these gas prices are really killing my buzz.. It's hard to enjoy is when you know that any real outing is gonna cost $50 or more in gas. The truck is beautiful and comfortable, but I liked it a lot more before gas was over $3 a gallon.

What a beautiful vehicle this has been. She's riding as good as day one and turns heads every day. An elegant vehicle with studly capability to work like a dog if the need arises. Luxury interior. Best ever seen in a truck. Not one single mechanical problem with 100,000 miles. I hope to keep her for another 100K. And I'm a woman who is a certified "truck hater" by birth.

Fun ride, great to take on vacation, lots of storage in saddles. Cheap to do routine service. Unbelievable handling in deep snow. Tough to take price of a fill up with gas prices this high.

Hi I just steped out of a BMW525 07 since economy obligated me to lower down my bills...and i wanted a USA truck (work reasons) but i didnt wanted to loose the luxury...and i didn't. This truck will meet my needs and expectations...has far of mechanical problems my truck has little over 60k and so far so good. Gas its a little issue but is a truck with a powerfull 6.0 v8 if i was going to watch over that i would have gotten a 4 or 6 cyl. I wanted to be able to move my boat..load boxes in the trunk..take my bikes...and still feeling i was on my 525i 07 and i am!
