Overview & Reviews

In response to Lincoln's new Blackwood pickup, which is little more than a Ford F-150 Super Crew with a Navigator cabin grafted on, Cadillac trots out this Chevrolet Avalanche with an Escalade facelift.

• Strong engine, innovative packaging, features galore.

• Love-it or hate-it styling, poor mileage, steep price tag.

  The first time I saw that this car was going to be relesed I wanted to get it. I was looking for a new vehicle to that was functional and also had style. I was trying to chose between a suv or a pickup truck. I wanted something that I could put an atv in and also something that I could take at least five people and go on a long trip and we would all be comfortable. The EXT can do all that and more. When towing in the EXT you forget that the trailer is even their. When I went to the dealer and test drove it I knew I had to have it. The seats are like the recliners I have in my living room.

  R.I.P. This is the ultimate SUV/ Pickup - 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT
  By michaelcr7 - February 15 - 2:00 am

  This is hands down the most comfortable four door truck out there, AND is NOTHING like the Chevy Avalanche. 30% of the exterior of the avalanche is unfinished plastic, the suspension is terrible- Very unsteady, tends to bounce quite a lot and side to side rocking motion is nausiating. The Cadillac EXT has completly different ride qualities. Very stiff suspension, excellent stable (not hard) ride. Bumps are completly absorbed by the drivetrain. Virtually no nose dip under hard braking, and not a hint of side to side rocking motion. Good gas mileage, and low noise at high speed- a true cadillac, And a true truck.

  By m;lk - October 6 - 10:00 am

  All in all I thought it was the best ride I ever experienced. Its spacious and boy does it look great. The price is even negotiable.You cant fell any bumps when you drive over rough roads.

  By EdNyquist - July 5 - 6:10 am

  Excellent sport truck performance plus the features of a luxury 4 door, though not usually a fan of the traditional American-take on large luxury vehicles; All Wheel Drive that is not available in the 2-wheel drive only Lincoln Blackwood was a big plus. Competitive pricing when you compare it to the Lincoln Blackwood or even the Ford Harley SuperCrew which dont offer the same high level of standard luxury equipment nor the increased true truck versatility like that offered by the EXT.

  Nice change of pace - 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT
  By Salvatore - November 30 - 10:00 am

  I like the fact I can go to a fancy place all dressed up with this car and later throw my kayak in the back and head to the beach. Great for hauling those odd shape items that dont fit in a typical SUV. Crappy gas milage, but you know that going into the deal.

  Cant believe I bought a GM product - 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT
  By Whiteparty - June 6 - 10:00 am

  I owned 2 GM products in the late 80s and early 90s that had to be bought back through Better business bureau arbitration. After Driving for the past 1o years Range Rover, Lexus, Toyota Supra, Porsche, and Acura I needed to trade my 99 Acura 3.5 RL for something that can tow a jetski.(cried when I traded the 3.5RL) It was between Landrover Discovery and Escalade EXT. Chose the EXT over Discovery on all levels. The interior trim is totally GM cheesy with more fake woodgrain than you can shake a paint can at. Pricing on Diamond White with Sunroof MSRP 52K and change. Negotiated 11K off of MSRP for total of about 4K under invoice. Im satisfied.

  Just little probs.... - 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT
  By The Naked Truth - August 25 - 6:30 pm

  The Ext is great, but it does have its problems. The knobs on the midgate window support (when folding down the back seats) are prone to break off, leaving your glass "less than secure" while hauling. The power windows sometimes seem to work harder than necessary (mine was on the front pass. side). The locking mechanism on the embedded side boxes have failed on both sides, never staying quite locked, and will blow open at highway speeds(however, Ive only experienced this while riding without the cargo securing sections on the truck). The leather is nice, but the carpeting is 2nd grade. Drivers side control for outside power mirrors is "jinky" for lack of precise movement
