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.

  • style, ride, and plenty of room - 2004 Cadillac Escalade

    The Cadillac Escalade never fails to impress me. Its ability to satisfy any number of demanding tasks to me makes it those most versitle vehicle made. Of course it uses a lot of fuel, but that cannot be avoided as it exceptional power allows total freedom to do anything. The ride is astonishly smooth and the control is amazing for such a large vehicle. Top it all off with style, what esle could anyone want? Nice job Cadillac!

  • my dream car - 2004 Cadillac Escalade

    This is the nicest riding vehicle I have had, and I have had 3 lexuss before this Escalade. The car handles very smoothly and is so much fun to drive I dont mind taking long car trips anymore. I have also wanted an SUV that didnt drive like a truck. After one test drive I knew I had to have this vehicle. It has great pickup and speed and all the safety features I would want to cart around my 5 grandchildren.

    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.

    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?
