Overview & Reviews
Despite strong sales in 2002, the EXT gets a host of new upgrades for 2003 to help maintain its momentum. An improved StabiliTrak stability control system is now standard along with an upgraded braking system, High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights, exterior mirrors with integrated turn signals and chrome wheels as an option. The interior also has a number of improvements, including tri-zone climate control, satellite steering wheel controls and a redesigned instrument cluster and center console. The standard Bose audio system receives some minor upgrades while new options include XM Satellite Radio, a DVD entertainment system and bucket seats for the second row. Added safety comes in the way of dual-stage airbags, adjustable pedals, a front-passenger seat sensor and three-point belts for all first- and second-row passengers.
- Strong engine, innovative packaging, features galore.
- Poor fuel mileage, steep price tag.

cadillac escalade ext - 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT
By geoffpmo - November 19 - 10:00 amThe rating system here doesnt do this truck justice. It definitly deserves a rating higher than 10. This vehicle is in a league of its own.

Firefighter - 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT
By JOHN ALMEIDA JR. - January 5 - 9:06 pmI have never been in a vehicle that has made me feel so proud. This vehicle exemplifies class. There is no other truck that can make the transition that Cadillac did from luxury to truck.

ext experience - 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT
By david minarik - May 14 - 2:00 amReplacing my pickup, i bought the ext. a good and bad move. The first month, I didnt see it. Three times it stranded me, and had to file a complaint with the BBB. The truck is now running fine, but GM still hasnt called back. The truck is a good ride with lots of power, and Ive hauled 12 ft lumber in it without a problem. Definitely overpriced!

Best Ever Vehicle : The Uber-Truck - 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT
By javarob - May 7 - 2:00 amI bought in December with some reservations. Perhaps it cost too much. Perhaps it was too big of a vehicle. I thought it was beautiful, however, and I loved the drive. If I bought a sedan, I would need to rent a truck at times. The first week I was amazed with the compliments. Every day I drove it I found something more that I liked. After one month, I was excited at every opportunity to drive it. Sometimes when I drive it I find myself thinking it is the greatest vehicle man has ever built. That may be extreme, but I have never been more pleased with a car or truck that I have owned.

worth the extra bucks - 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT
By mcgyver64 - September 13 - 2:00 amAlthough the pricetag is substantially higher than the Avalanche, the features, performance and comfort more than make up for it. I have 4k miles on mine and so far it has been trouble free. Only complaint is gas milage is terrible. I am averaging 12 mpg city and not much better highway. Its alot of fun to drive and pulls a 30 ft 7500 lb travel trailer with ease.

Wow! - 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT
By car kitten - October 17 - 10:00 amWow! This is an all around great car to buy. Even though it is quite expensive-it is GREAT! I love everything about my Escalade. I was hesitant at first about buying this car. It was between the Cadillac Escalade and the Lincoln Navigator. The features are great with this car!!!

A CLASS ACT... - 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT
By JEN3NASCAR - October 17 - 2:00 amThe Cadillac EXT is a truly dream machine...my husband ordered this vehicle as a surprise, and had every available option put on it (we had admired them ever since they hit the market)...the attention to detail is something to be appreciated. The thing is a class act, from bumper to bumper, and the interior is total "Cadillac comfort" throughout. It is amazing how agile this vehicle is, considering its size...you have to drive an EXT to experience how well it handles. It has plenty of "get up and go"...very responsive. Be warned-If you decide to take and EXT for a spin, it will be love and first drive, and you will be hooked! :)

Outstanding - 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT
By Gator - July 6 - 2:00 amGreat vehicle but some suggested improvements. One be sure and check on delivery for a trailer hitch pkg, this is not a standard feature? I got it thrown in after purchase with little effort but could have been a $400.00 mistake. Also more ground clearance would be nice.I understand this is not a true off road vehicle but for $57,000 loaded with all wheel drive you should have better off road options.(Standard Ford or Dodge 4X4 ROAD clearance would make this vehicle perfect 3-4 inches higher.)

Bad Boy Toy - 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT
By abadboy - June 11 - 2:00 amINCREDIBLE! The room, the power, mine is scharged with almost 600 hp. The look, black with 24" ASA wheels from the Tire Rack(a must have). Everyone wants a ride or there picture with it. Like being a rock star. Dont buy one if you dont want the attention. No one can get enough of this BAD BOY! Never considered a Cadillac before. Everyone said Cadillacs are old guys cars, now everyone looks to me for a ride. The ultimate in excess, over the top in your face truck! This BAD BOY ROCKS! Made a trip to Vegas the first weekend I had it, couldnt beleive the looks we got, or how everyone moved to the right to let this BAD BOY go past. INCREDIBLE!
