2002 Cadillac Escalade AWD - Full Review 

I've got an 04 i drive like a beast! 247000 miles on it and I put about 35000 a year on it. Its one of the best vehicles I've ever owned.

340k on 04 ext still strong only had to do some suspension work frequent oil and fluid changes and minor body work as I live in Canada

I watched this review and decided to buy 2002 Escalade like yours. Absolutely in love. 240000 miles and powerful.

I love my 2004 Cadillac Escalade ESV too. 241,000 miles man. I refuse to give up on her - I keep putting $ into repairs, recently hydro booster, steering parts, back axel completely went and got replaced. She’s a beauty though she deserves to be kept alive!

I have an ‘05 Yukon Denali, pretty similar to this & I’m past the 250,000 mile marker. This thing is a tank. It does suck on gas, but it truly is a gem. I love my air ride, when it’s not throwing weird electrical codes 😂

I'm totally digging this video review. I must say, everything you said and reviewed upon is accurate and on spot. I love my 2002 Escalade AWD as I see you do too. I ride and treasure it everyday. AND I drive it hard and go everywhere including off-roading, camping, fishing, to the zoo, to the stadium, to my kids school, I take it hunting and to church. I use it for grocery shopping, big bos store hardware shopping and have towed bass boats and light to middle sized trailers. I absolutely love it. 220k+ miles and still running strong. I asbolutely dig the AWD and none of my buddies expect it to get in and out of the deep soggy woods. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Not even for the newer ones... But my wife might digress.

My husband is at 400,000 on his 2002 Escalade. It’s his pride and joy! 😂

Nice ride brotha. I have a 2003 and its still riding good at 198 thousand miles

If you have the captains chairs in the middle row, it’s much easier to get in and out of the 3rd row through the middle. Gotta love the 2nd Gen Escalades. Built to last forever.

I have one with 250K it’s lifted on 33’s its still in good shape I drive it on the beach all the time! Ac works good too

Great review, straight forward great info, and a really nice truck to boot! Little info on that 6.0. The ones that came in the Escalade, Sierra VHO and Silverado SS are known by a few different terms, commonly referred to as the LQ9, VortecMaxx, or Vortec H.O 6000. These 6.0s are different than the LQ4 that could be found in pickups and Suburbans. They have a higher output due to a flattop piston that increases compression compared to the standard dished piston that came on the LQ4. This makes the LQ9 highly desirable. All in all these Escalades (especially with the LQ9) are awesome little trucks, and can certainly get out of their own way!

Been on the hunt for a good deal on an older generation Escalade for over a year. Finally got an opportunity for an ‘02 with 160k miles, brand new brakes and brake lines, 24” wheels, tires, windshield, upholstery, paint, halo headlights, LED taillights, and Alpine head unit. Gonna run me just over $5k. Couldn’t resist this time, pouncing on it this week. So stoked.

I just bought a 2006 ESV with the Vortex max! It has plenty of power and just rides like a dream. I plan on driving this thing until the wheels fall off! You can tell the quality of how this was built compared to the new crap that's built today.

I jacked the power folding mirrors, leather seats, cluster and steering wheel off a wrecked Escalade for my truck. Really hit the jackpot on that one

This was my childhood car! Always loved it! Want to get one!

My buddy had one. Always liked the 2002 escalade. My father had a 1999 Yukon SLT the same time, alot of the same items. Escalade changes it up a little for the 2003/04 years.

My dad passed down his 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT to me and found out yesterday, it has an astounding 110k miles on it. Bruh!

I have a hunter green 2002 Escalade and just hit 130k miles. I've had this car since '03...bought it with 18k miles on it. First ten years only drove on weekends while I put miles on my 2004 Corolla (has 235k and still rolling). I stay on top of maintenance and repair/replace before it's needed. While at Autzone...had someone offer me $15k for it last week (20 Aug 2021) Hubbie wants to get a new one...Not! Best. Car. Ever.

I just bought a 2002 Escalade 2wd and it rides so smooth

It’s been my dream suv since I was 6, nice ride and big beast. I liked tahoes but this was always nice, the wood and the style of the grill, those chrome wheels looking nice, bose system and sunroof. Looks like a fun ride, I’d hope to maybe get one one day as a second car, i’d buy this 2nd gen over the newer ones today

I love my 2012 Esv platinum. Low mileage coming up to the 10K

Lq9 is 345 hp, I have an 02 same color. The 4l65 transmission is the weak link. Great review.

Thanks. I appreciate you showing your Escalade. Looking to buy one day, and definitely seems up my alley.

I have 2006 ESV with way over 200k miles and drives like brand new.

Nice! I have an 05 esv with the 6.0 and 88k miles

Best review on an Escalade I've seen. It was peaceful like Mr. Rogers Neighborhood and also very very thorough and informative. I'm considering getting one of these.

God I want an 09 escalade bad

My friend has one and it’s hella fast

Good video have a lead on a 2002 Escalade with a 6.0 Vortec has 155 on it , new tires and some other things - this answered a lot of questions

Awesome video I have a black one it's awesome only drawback is the gas but it is an suv

I’m enjoying your review my Escalade is Black well equipped 4 by 4 headrests DVD players Sunroof ,chrome rims I got my chula the Perelli the very nicest ones , I love spoiling my chula 🥰 she has allllll tinted windows and even the Windshield in front for more privacy I Love How Smooth it runs I drive to Tijuana on Weekends and Gas is alright not too bad B👍 I guess I got the Deluxe one …. So ppl if like and your thinking about getting An Escalade don’t think twice you won’t regret it the seats are soooo comfortable for long drives I love “My Chula” 💙❤️🥰😎

I miss my 05 ext. but the 08 Yukon is a pretty good upgrade in some regards. Do miss the truckbed tho.

Great video !! Fantastic info !!!!’

pretty good camera angles, good review

GMC Yukon Denali (Escalade lite) had the 6.0.

Hi, I got a 2004 Cadillac Escalade platinum ESV and it has the 6.0 all wheel drive 345 hp I think the 2002 also has 345 hp. Not 330 but nice ride 👍

345 horsepower not 330

06 Escalade 240000 miles and just two transmissions 😅😅😅

Nice Ride Car Guy

I have a 02, it is a good truck, but the awd has many problems, that's why I transform it into 2wd, not only do I have more power, I also save gas.👍👍

Onstar analog system is obsolete. It is quite dirty. I hope that you got it detailed.

2002 GMC Yukon Denali had the 6.0. Frikkin get that A/C fixed bro!

Papi chulo, you look beautiful with that glasses

Good job

He bout t break his escalade

I had rear ac and electrical problems with this car. That's it.

I have a 2005 I bought new,rides great,the steering system is the one I like the most,my is 6.0 Vortex 345 HP. moves real good for an suv,I have electronic issues like components that don`t work,(heating seats) changed a started switch,now the air ride is broken,I don`t drive my car much it has 69 K miles changed brakes twice and tires once,I will fix the issues and will drive it till wheels fall off.

Hi. Wich farbcode is it? Thx

What car are those wheels from?

2002 at 250000 miles i still c it like a brand new truck

i find it weird how the 2002 escalade uses the same front seat pattern as a Chevy suburban/tahoe/silverado

345hp

😍

I have an 04 myself and I got to say its great but you don’t keep it looking nice at all

Is It Still Running Good?

I am looking at buying a used Escalade AWD truck version ((the one that looks like the Avalanche)) with the 6.0, does anybody know if they sit on a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton chassis??

I got a AWD 5.3 Cadillac Escalade

Is it me or that sounded super charged

Get kryptonite wheel hubs

i would buy that from you.

Still have it?

345hp, not 330…

What exhaust you got?

I berliv this car belongs to the jonkyard and not to pushed sombody aus!

you want 1200 cach.

Ill give you 50 thousand and a mustang

those twisting winding roads u have are nothing....now every body has heard of the dragons tail,, but speed limits are 25-30 and cops all over the place....if u prefer 50-60 and only one cop ,visit the Talimina dr,,.and forget about a SUV, bring a vette ,Trans Am, or other great handling car,half in ARK other half in OK,,about a hour south of ft smith ark...near mena ark,, u know where the CIA flew in c-130's full of cocaine when Reagan was president and bill clinton was gov of ark and got his nose candy free...
