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.

  My Big Black EXT - 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT
  By frank mcbride - February 15 - 7:30 am

  My 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT has been amazing, especially in sloppy winter driving in up state NY. It handles amazingly well for someone with a led foot, even on icy roads. Its made up for a lot of my mistakes, and it does it discreetly. It currently has 42,500 miles, and I cant decide if I should keep it or get a new one. I love this truck.

  ext experience - 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT
  By david minarik - May 14 - 2:00 am

  Replacing 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!

  worth the extra bucks - 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT
  By mcgyver64 - September 13 - 2:00 am

  Although 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.

  You get what you pay for... - 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT
  By Lovemyext - November 4 - 2:00 am

  Ive only had this truck for less than a week and I am totally in love. Ive owned numorus Cadillac cars over the years and I was always impressed with the level of comfort. However, I have always owed a pickup truck as well. Now, this way I can kill two birds with one stone. My EXT might not get as many looks as an H2. But I know for a fact the guy behind the wheel of that H2 is not NEARLY as comfortable as I am in this truck. And the H2 might be bigger but I also know I can out run him with the awsome power this caddy has under its hood.
