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.

  • Excellent Ride - 2004 Cadillac Escalade

    If you want utility AND luxury, the Escalade is your toy. Go with the AWD and you wont be disappointed. Youll never be at a loss for horsepower. Regarding comfort Ill put it against any sedan ... the ride is smooth and bumps in the road are essentially none existant. If you dont mind watching the gas gage move in front of your eyes and want a pure luxury vehicle, GO FOR IT!

  • Safe and Roomy - 2004 Cadillac Escalade

    We purchased this Escalade because we drive to the mtns alot with small children and TWO big dogs on a two way mtn road. We use our all-wheel drive when seeking out good trailheads in summer, and skiing in the winter. We have bad backs and nothing beats the comfort of the seats. There is plenty of room for passengers and storage the backup sound devise plus all-wheel safety with reasonable gas mileage considering the load all make it a winner for us. Oh! The TV is a God send for long trips to Disneyland. It is a luxury truck like no other on the market.

  • Worst car Ive ever owned - 2004 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    This car is most definitely the worst car Ive ever owned. Within the first week or so of owning it, I began to have problems with the vehicle. It has been in the shop frequently. This SUV purchase was a mistake!

    Oversized and hard to park. Expensive to drive. Doesnt fit in city driving. Not much better on the highway.

  • WHEN YOU GET PERFECTION. . . . . . . - 2004 Cadillac Escalade

    I have wanted my Escalade for so long and I finally got it. Oh, boy, was it worth the wait. It is not only dependable and functional, but its gorgeous. I mean there is nothing as beautiful as a Cadillac. It just shines and always looks good. I love it and feel great driving it. It is everything I thought it would be. . . . .AND MORE!!!!

  • Leather but will all the Squeaks - 2004 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    Hard to believe that after all these years GM cannot build a dashboard that does not squeak! Not as noisy as my benchmark 74 Camaro, but cant the imports teach Detroit a thing or two in building a $62k car? The drivers door when slammed sounds like my old 85 K5 tailgate-like something is loose and broken inside. All these were present since purchase. Interior leather is excellent but lets add the standard Cadillac rain sensor, not the Chevy wiper delay. And how about he seat massager like the DTS? Great overall look but too many places to clean-how about moving the gaskets closer to the outside as to limit dirt from getting into so many panels?
