This Year's Model Updates:

Although the Escalade remains basically unchanged, there are a few upgrades to the standard equipment list and how some optional equipment can be configured. XM Satellite Radio, a tire-pressure monitoring system, second-row bucket seats and a tow package are all now standard equipment, while a sunroof can now be ordered in conjunction with the rear-seat DVD entertainment system. Blue Chip, Quicksilver and Red E are new exterior colors.

Pros:
  • Endless power from V8, plush ride quality, feels nimble around turns, comfortable seats, plenty of cargo capacity, all the latest technological gadgets, best-in-class towing capacity.
Cons:
  • Poor mileage, a few noticeable instances of cost cutting, must pay a premium to get the big engine.

  • A "Truck" underneath the Glamour - 2004 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    I purchased my 2004 Escalade with the 6.0 liter in February. It was certified and came with the extended factory bumper to bumper 6yr/100k warranty. I hear about people complaining about its fuel economy, but you must realize that behind all the chrome and flash that this is still a 5700 lb truck with a 6 liter V8. I use to get about 17 mpg on the highway, but I have installed a K&N filter($50) and a custom Flowmaster exhaust system($450), and now I get between 20-21 mpg with premium(93 octane) gas on the highway cruising at 70 mph, with 22" wheels. If fuel consumption is a worry for you, then simply dont buy an suv. But this truck is absolutely awesome, especially on long 200+ mile trips.

    An American SUV that blows away all the competition. The engine is smooth and powerful. Looks are incomparable and amenities are abundant. Great company, great service and great SUV. I am picky and still highly recommend this wonderful vehicle. Pricey but well worth the cost of admission !! I am so happy with Cadillac that I am turning in my Mercedes S430 for another Cadillac

    The 2004 Escalade is a pleasure to look at and drive. It offers comfort, ease of controls, safety, more than adequate hauling capacity both interior and exterior. It provides a commanding view of the roadway for the driver and is easily controlled given its size. The fuel consumption is around 12 mpg city, but what do you expect for a large SUV. The luxury and comfort and handling abilty are worth the cost.
