I just bought a 2004. It drives like new minus the shocks. Engine is so smooth even with 128k car rips out the gate. She was well taken care of in her life.
@tundrav8georgia the first generation was a rush job to compete with the Navigator and the LX470 that came out about a year earlier (1998) and the P38 Range Rover. This second generation was the one that caught the attention of the people It was intended for, the one that made the Escalade popular.
That’s cause fords stuff is ugly,all their rides yuk… gm has always had the better looking cars and trucks…f150 best selling for 47years , yeah to sheep who like ugly ass trucks ..
@@Mosesinabox hit the dome override button. They should go on when you put the truck in drive. Im constantly replacing the bulbs so maybe try that first.
True the seats in the 03-06/07 classic trucks and the 03-06 SUV’s were very thick and plushy very comfy…look at the flat ass seats in the new trucks and suvs..no comparison…now the seats in the 07-13 trucks and 07-14 suvs were not too bad either not as plushy but still soft on leather on Denali and Escalade
@@wheretheredferngrows14 my opinion is NOT incorrect. I worked for Cadillac thank you. I think theyre ugly. Youre free to disagree but neither opinion is incorrect. And who cares. Taste is subjective. 30,613 vs 36,114 in sales.
@@Butchcub75 I didn’t find either ugly but I do like Navigator more aesthetically pleasing. Although the Escalade does have a stronger/bolder presence to it IMO as far as 2002 models go. As for quality/reliability/performance I’m not sure which one’s better since I haven’t had much personal experience with either.
The Escalade has always made me sad. Cadillacs used to be unique cars that shared very little with other GM brands. Dressing up a Chevy, no matter how nice they made it, just felt (and still feels) unfaithful to the brand. I know the Escalade wasn't the first time Cadillac pulled this, but with how popular the SUV segment was becoming (and how popular it stayed), I really feel like GM should have invested in making the Escalade its own unique vehicle. I can't tell you how many times I've mistaken a Suburban for an Escalade.
I don't think I've ever had that problem before, and there are a lot of GM trucks on the road. With the exception of the GMT400, all Escalades have been very well differentiated from their Chevrolet and GMC siblings.
They differentiated them better beginning with this generation. They at least changed the styling a bit to match Cadilac's design language at the time.
