2000 Cadillac Escalade

Reliable, solid and comfortable ride, well designed. Great vehicle for family trips - kids have their own music in back seat, rear climate controls for flexibility. The seat warmers are nice on cold winter mornings!

GREAT Tough Truck!

Awesome truck! I bought a 19 year old one with 248,000 miles and the thing starts right up, quiet as a 4 cylinder, and drives as smooth down the road as it did new! I’ve hauled with it, gone off road, and it takes it all like a champ! I get compliments all the time on it. I won’t get rid of it, ever. It’ll be a classic next year and an antique soon after! Gas mileage is absolutely acceptable for this size vehicle and engine. A few mechanics have told me this is the most reliable model of Escalade. With the 5.7L Vortec V8, same as the Corvette. Fun to just cruise! Great on long trips!

Cadillac Escalade

The Cadillac Escalade is identical to a GMC Yukon Denali (the Cadillac of GMC). It has a suprisingly smooth ride & powerful 350 hp engine. The interesting thing is the 350 V8 engine seems to get unprecedented gas mileage - approximately 20+ mpg/highway & 16-17 city! This is pretty good for a 6,000 pound truck! The newer engines are even better on gas, they put the Ford Excursion to shame with its lousy 10 mpg!

This is my first domestic vehicle in ten years and I do love it. It has some of the typical GM creaks and such, but nothing major at all. Also it is a bit low on power, but it is a big truck. It has been a joy to own.

you know what I've owned Chevrolet,GMC,jimmy's and they all just fall apart .Several months after my purchase of GMC, I noticed rattling noise while driving. Sometimes I think the doors are going to fly open. Not a peaceful roadtrip vehicle! ever so comfortable this truck has the power with out all noise great on roadtrips and it has every thing you need in a truck but the only thing I mite not like about the truck is it's so nice that you don't want to take it off roading .and the service that you get with a Cadillac there's no comparison .

This is the best truck that I have ever driven! I used to have a 2000 Dodge Durango, but I traded it in for my 2000 Escalade. I love the syle and how comfortable it is! It is worth every single penny.

GM/Cadillac Junk!

Most un-dependable vehicle made. OnStar problems required 6 service visits as the system keep killing the battery. Front end can't be aligned right. Water leaks required 3 svc. visitsBraking system sucks! Cadillac service and Detroit Customer Service is useless. This owner will never buy a GM vehicle again.

This vehicle is a major disappointment. Ergonomics/design are horrible and quality is unbelievably bad for any vehicle, especially a Cadillac. If you don't need the size, get something more reliable and less of a headache, like a GMC Jimmy/Envoy.

Disappointed with Cadillac

The power steering was almost impossible to turn at times,the power locks did not work on certain doors, the radio stations would not come in because the TV sound kept defaulting, and the door would not close on occasion because the latch was stuck. They didn't even have the common sense to put a REAR DOOR LATCH on the vehicle so that you could get into the back when the doors are unlocked. My husband and I are very disappointed with the so- called "Cadillac". He feels that the Escalade is junk and that our GMC Jimmy was far better. We are considering purchasing the new GMC Envoy. It seems far more superior.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST I'VE EVER DRIVEN, I HAD A CORVETTE AND TRADED IT IN BECAUSE MY 97 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WAS A LITTLE TOO SMALL, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A GREAT SUV TO DRIVE, I NEED SOMETHING BIGGER. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS A VERY SMOOTH RIDE, BOTH IN LOOKS AND RIDE OVERALL. THERE ARE NO OTHER TO COMPARE. ONE OF THESE DAYS I TRADE IT IN FOR A NEWER MODEL!!!!

Escalade is awsome

The Escalade is an awsome ride. The gas is better traveling then short distance and the back door windows you can see or no winshield wiper to clean window because it has two door. But, I love it. I like all the people staring and telling me everywhere I go that I have a nice ride. I had a Jeep and a Durango R/T model that I traded. The best on insurance because of its loaded features. Cheaper than my Durango on insurance.

Huge fan of this GM Era (1988-1998*) trucks and these are the greatest rigs. I feel safe in it, it tows my camper wonderfully (6000 lbs.), and it is an absolute tank in the snow. What makes these better than same year Tahoes/Yukons is the front middle console layout and interior details, along with a Premium Bose Audio System, and from-factory locking 3.73 rear/front ends, and Heavy Duty Trans Cooler.

I love the truck, i got a steal. The gas is great on the highway but not in the city. if you can afford this truck, you should be able to pay for the gas.
