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.

  • Dream come true - 2004 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    I have always dreamed of owning a Cadillac. With a family of five,this vehicle tailors to all, conveniently and with room to spare. A pleasure to drive to the market or long distance. First drive a Tahoe. Then drive the Escalade. You will notice the difference. You get what you pay for,defenitely. You will also get the attention of your friends, family and neighbors. It is my trophy.

    When i purchased my escalde i was informed it had a dvd entertainment center in it and once the sell was complete i found out that they sold me a vehicle that did not have one so the sales people are selling a vehicle that they know nothing about. Also i bought a interior cleaning and stain guard when i picked up my vehicle from haveing it serviced at bill cookes which also included the under rust proofing i was shocked to find my vehicle in such awful shape that i was upset with them and will never return when i contacted caddilac inc they did nothing about my complaint of the dvd entertainment center. so my complant is that they should not sell a vehicle

    I traded in an 02 with 22500 miles , kept having problems with the check engine light ( caused by o2 sensor getting dust ) I live in the mountains and we have all dirt roads , county maintained . My o4 only has 400 miles and I am very happy with the improved seats and the nav. system ( very complicated ) VEHICLE HAS A BAD DASH RATTLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE , WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP I SAW 2 04S BEING REPAIRED ( SAME DASH RATTLE )

    I have found the Escalade a real pleasure to drive anywhere, anytime. I have 22" rims, lowered it 3&5 added a lot of billet pieces and it gets a whole lot of attention everywhere I go.

    The rear door is too heavy to pull down for women and elderly men and women. Needs to be power operated. Gas door should be lockable.

  • Love My ESV - 2004 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    Test Drove most other SUVs. With them I felt a truck is a truck til I drove the Escalade ESV. Rides like a car, drives like my Mercedes and the Vortec engine is better than any other make. Plenty of power, outstanding handling and steering, excellent braking. All wheel drive is great in the winter. Can not say enough good things. Just wish my wife would let me drive it a little more. Buy one.

  • Cadi - What an SUV! - 2004 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    Best SUV Ive every owned! Traded Suburban for my 04 Black Escalade. Only 2k miles so far..but love it. DVD and all the options. Only suggestion is to get a few customers in to work with your Navigation system engineer (s)..they need to get a taste of what its like to use it while driving.

  • My Escalade - 2004 Cadillac Escalade

    I love my Escalade, but there are several things that I think GM has to improve upon. 1.The Navigation system is complicated, you must be in park for most of the features to work. 2. Get rid of the vennered wood on the dash and use the real stuff,the dash of my husbands BMW is real wood! 3. Different standard rims My car has been in the shop 3 times already and I have not even had it a year: 1. Seat problem, latch was broken so I could not lower the back seat. 2. Vibrating noise upon acccelerated. Still happens 3. At times the engine will not turn over, almost like its flooded. I just got the car back, and its still happening
