I leased a Cadillac Escalade EXT for 3 years now and I will never purchase one again! after the 80,000 KM warranty was up the diferential berrings went along with wheel bearings. Would GM help? NO! I was at 82,446 KM and they wouldn't even split the bill. Things continue to break. Now a front shock air bag is punctured and not covered by the warranty. Here's my answer to GM. I have been faithful for the past 20 years, but no longer. Good luck with this Escalade when you get it back, becuse now you can pay to fix it!

I really like my 2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT until I started to have issues with it. With only 12,000 miles I had had problems with the seat controls, navigation system (x2), rear differental, and cruise issues with wiring. So it to recap it has been less than a good ownership expierence.

I purchased my 2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT with 90,000 miles. I have had to replace the transmission, front differential, and the transfer case (which I am currently looking for). I had a 1997 Tahoe with 287,000 miles and it ran like a new automobile until I was hit in the back and totaled it. That was the bomb. This one has been the biggest money pit. Sorry I ever purchased this vehicle. The sunroof is leaking costs another $1,000.00. Close to $9,000...shame.

I traded my 2000 Lexus RX 300 for an '06 Escalade EXT. Although I considered staying with the Lexus family, I felt that the RX 330 and GX 470 SUV's were way too small and did not offer enough features for the asking price. In the Escalade EXT, I get a bigger, sturdier vehicle, with the same luxuries (if not more), and it's so much fun to drive.
240,000 miles and going strong

I bought my 2005 EXT in Oct 2004 and still own it today (April 2015) with 240,000 miles. This is the best damn car/truck I've ever owned. Runs and looks great with only minor maint issues over the years.

I travel long distances, and often have to haul heavy loads. My EXT can work hard, and feel as though I'm carrying nothing! Clean her up and she is ready for valet parking at Neiman's, or the best of five star restuarants. I just love my EXT.

Hi readers...i had a bmw525 07 and for obvious economical reasons i had to go down on budget, but i didnt wanted to loose the confort and prestige i had. I picked the Escalade since its well knowing and its American! 05 with 60k miles on it...no regrets at all!!

We love this truck. Try driving a F150 and compare gas mileage! Or a Tundra. What do people expect when they drive a truck? We're getting over 18 on the hwy with over a 100,000 problem free miles! In fact, we are buying a new one.

We sold our Mustang & got a fully loaded Escalade, red exterior, beige interior, sunroof & sound system. It's in very good condition & pretty low mileage. I have a deformed spine & need a comfortable car. It's great for my back, so comfortable & the ride is soooo smooth. We love the power of it & it's great for going in the Rocky mountains to camp, fish & hunt. It is a gas guzzler but everything else is so awesome we don't mind paying for gas. If you want a great luxury vehicle that does cost too much, the 2006 Escalade Ext is the car to get.

Your Cadillac is high above other cars. You have a safe picture of who coming at you and your family. Very flashy. I can haul all my stuff. I look at a small car as a death trap. nothing like the Cadillac comfront. You drive it once and your done. never will I drive anything else. I love it. Misty Pace.

The Cadillac Escalade EXT is beautiful. I hope that Caddy can continue to pour their mind, heart and soul into the next generation of Escalades. It's the only vehicle that the Japaness auto companies haven't been able to copy yet!

I'm a woman who has investments in Myrtle Beach SC, and in Gavleston TX. I often drive alone, with cargo (Cadillac Escalade EXT is a work horse!} The drive is smooth and very pleasant, the amenities are fantastic for amusing myself when the hours get long, I purchased this fantastic vehicle with my traveling in mind. When I arrive to my location, all I have to do is clean her up and we (EXT and myself) are ready to shine out on the town. And we do. I love it!

I was very lucky to have won my Cadillac Escalade EXT in the GM Hotbutton contest. I have found that the driving experience with the EXT has been nothing short of great. It will turn on a dime and I have found that when parking in tight spots it handles beautifully. If I were going to buy another vehicle I would seriously consider buying another EXT. The power of the engine will get you out and about without any hesitation. I have also noticed that in the year that I have driven it the gas mileage has increased substantially.
The EXT is for the 1-car family...

At first I didn't even consider buying a Cadillac -- much less a Cadillac "pickup". But I definitely wanted something utilitarian, good looking, and well built. It also would have to provide a comfortable ride if I chose to drive it on out-of-town trips. Then one evening...just before the dealership was about to close, I walked into the indoor showroom of our local Cadillac dealership and....'voila'. The EXT really struck both myself and my wife as something to consider. Within a few days we struck a 'deal' (a little pricey, but fair...). Now we marvel at how close we came to our targetted goals in purchasing a new SUV-type vehicle. It's a neat package. If only everyone might want to buy one

The Cadillac Escalade EXT has it all. It's a very good all around truck. It handles and rides like a car. It has plenty of power with its 6.0L engine.

I wanted a Pickup truck and my wife drives and loves her Cadillac DeVille DTS. Well to make a long story short she tricked me into going to the Cadillac dealer to look at the new STS well I saw the EXT in Black with Nav System & moonroof I just fell in love next thing I know she says happy birthday honey that one is yours! Well, after crying like a little girl I have been on cloud nine ever since. I'm 55 years old and a real car person but nothing I have ever owned can come close to this vehicle its amazing!

I really like my 2006 Cadillac Escalade EXT a lot more than I did my 2003 Cadillac Excalade EXT. I drove the 2003 for two and a half years, before trading it for my 2006. The 2006's ride is a lot smoother, and is more comfortable. I drive from Georgia to Florida a least once a month, so the comfort and room that the EXT provides definately suits my needs. When I am at home, I use the EXT around our farm to carry feed and hay, it is a workhorse also.
I Love It, but Can't Enjoy It!

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.

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.

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.
gas its the problem

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!
It's a true Cadillac

This is the third EXT I have owned. The vehicles are used for work & pleasure. They are very luxurious workhorses. I use the cargo space extensively to haul building materials & antiques. The vehicle is quick, responsive, & fun to drive. My average mileage over the first 4000 miles is 16.1mpg. I don't baby it & usually drive 9 miles an hour over the posted highway speed limit. I highly recommend this " Country Cadillac"
