Thanks for watching y'all! Hope your enjoying these car reviews. If so make sure to hit the LIKE for me!

[@chriscollins2228]

I have a black one with 352,000 and counting still going strong

[@HOUSTONERS420]

How has reliable it been? Any major issues? Thinking about purchasing a 2002 for around 9k

[@chriscollins2228]

None for me a fuel pump around 200 thousand 1 alternator about 300 thousand, routine up keep brakes, tires etc ...

[@Obi-Wan-KenKraken]

@pullupseattle hey I'm about to buy one maybe was it a good buy?? Reliable or bah

[@Obi-Wan-KenKraken]

@pullupseattle thank you very much I've been trying to pull up some videos on how to check and make sure the vehicle was well taken care of one I'm looking at has only 66,000 miles being a 2003 I'm a little skeptical but I just can't bring myself to find any faults with the truck other than it being a gas hog

[@CHawkens]

@@HOUSTONERS420 that too muck for a 2002 unless the mileage is like 80 to 90k miles on it. if its in the high 150 to 180k miles it should be around 4 - 5k in price depending on spec and trim it has.

[@Snowman3g]

i just bought me a 2004 esv with 209k fully loaded for $2,200 and oh man do i love it

[@CHawkens]

I got you beat, i just bought my 2002 escalade 268k + miles and love it, im gonna changed the belts and do some standard care to getting this beast up to speed with looks and power. love it!!!

[@Donte383]

[@crewtheaftermath4105]

[@AlexRodriguez-fn9jx]

[@mikedean80]

Do you know where the rear wheel speed sensor is

[@adtjtjdjsj]

​@@JTEKTNYC Miles? That dumbass unit for distance?

[@christopherjoiner605]

I have a 2006 Escalade Ext. Blacked out! It's a gas guzzler! But I love it.

[@thebunz7]

Replace the engine ground.

[@kipdiggs1827]

It's built on the Suburban chassis. The truck essentially was an ESV with the back sliced off to make way for the bed. The Avalanche/EXT is a favorite of mine.

[@97336cf]

@BigBlock Beast as true as that is, you have to remember that these reskinned luxury trucks saved our favorite brands. The navigator helped save Lincoln (as much as it could) and the escalade really saved cadillac from the miserable image they acquired during the 90s. Porsches saving grace was the cayenne, and even today brands such as bentley and Lamborghini are being made profitable again by reskinned suvs, even though the reskinning has gotten a lot more convincing. But Bmw and mercedes can claim that they are not reskinned which is true, there are no cheaper counterparts like honda/acura.

[@bevyg5635]

Mine is pearl white, ‘04, around 145k. Love it, still runs beautifully, rides like a car but has great power. I use mine like an actual truck unlike many truck drivers who never even open the tailgate. Hate the grill so changed that, upgraded tp 19” wheels/tires, and upgraded grill. 6.2 liter engine. The vehicle looks too small OEM with those tiny wheels. Even though it runs great and has served me well, put a reservation in on a new truck that hasn’t come out yet but is highly controversial, even hated by many, which I find hilarious but head-scratching….take a guess???……………Tesla Cybertruck. Can’t wait!

[@doreenr1065]

I own a 2006 Caddy EXT and it's still going strong. Pearl White, premium 24" wheels with only 59K miles (in Hawai'i), backup sensors, blackout tint (passenger back windows only), standard legal tint all others and still in great condition. Love my Caddy for the past 15-years!

[@markbrook5355]

Love 6.0 escalade childhood memories for sure those were the trucks to have

[@lolacarter5015]

I own a 2003 Cadillac Escalade XT it's the same color as that 1. It's a beautiful truck got some problems with the rocker panels once they're fixed new headlights are going in just an overall new parts for it.... These vehicles are known as the 2nd generation escalade. They're very very nice to drive if you take care of them they'd look just as good as A new one and they drive better than the new Once

[@vidwatcher3001]

Always had a soft spot for the Pontiac Escalanche GMCs

[@dts3747]

😂😂😂

[@Justadudeman22]

😆

[@CoachMacho954]

My 04 Escalade has over 300k and still going strong. I've had it for 12 years. I'm attached to it. I'm even thinking about buying another 04 but the EXT.

[@saldemaio7280]

My younger brother purchased one new. He never had any problems with it, minus the few GM issues like knock sensors. Some of the last great trucks.

[@KimberlyStar-x2w]

I bought mine in 2004. It’s actually a 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT till this day I still have my truck. It is exactly the same one and I traded for no other vehicle the performance it’s still the same when I bought it back in 2004 where in 2024 still in my possession

[@starkiller7096]

04 with over 300k still strong

[@shelleybibeau2362]

This is me n my hubby. Truck and bling! We have a 2013 and it looks mint! Garaged and well loved. Had an 07 and traded it in. Got top $ cuz it was loved. I hear a new one is coming in 2021! Oh my. Great video! Very detailed.

[@srtredghost5492]

I hope they do come back with a new version!

[@johnrideabmx]

@@srtredghost5492 it’s the Silverado ev

[@crewtheaftermath4105]

I just tossed some money out for one of these and this video was VERY helpful. Great job 5 stars. you showed me exactly what I needed to know about this very truck THANKS !

[@junyah1976]

how you loving it so far?

[@mikerose4250]

The drivers seat clearly has a replacement leather on the bottom half. About $120 on ebay

[@junali94]

I always wondered how the escalades from that era had backup sensors but not the yukon denali?

[@bamafencer12]

I had an 06 Tahoe Z71 and it did not have parking sensors. I just bought an 02' Escalade and it's better than my Tahoe.

[@issavibez394]

Quite corny

[@M.D3663]

I'm buying a 2003 this weekend. 67k mileage is about all I know. Very original though. Any advice?

[@katherinejackson5973]

I have a 03 also please give me some advise on updating and restoring my stallion . I brought it cause I love the body and its spacious .......but a gas guzzler.

[@kingreactionss1606]

How much does 5$ get u?

[@jamestimmons5443]

Can you tell me about the 2005 model

[@alexanderchenf1]

Which state are you in?

[@eddycarrillo48]

I have a 2007 Cadillac ext it requires premium gas will reg gas hurt it?

[@bevyg5635]

Truck will run pretty rough, probably effect a few other things, I would stick with premium unfortunately

[@CarolinaCarVideos]

I've read a few comments from people saying this is not a 2002 Cadillac Escalade. Well how about Googling a 2002 Escalade EXT and see for yourself. Now I have been known for screwing up in the past due to car dealers having the incorrect year on the window paper or key tag, but according to this dealer its a 2002. Also the 10th digit in the VIN # will also tell you which year the vehicle is. The 10th digit happens to be the number 2 for this year.

[@bigsexy72]

Yes a 2002

[@haroldwhite7464]

The interior proves this is an 02. The steering wheel and radio/console area along with the window switches are 02 specific and was remodeled for 03-06

[@CarolinaCarVideos]

thanks for sharing that Harold.

[@davesawkey6777]

Have 2003Cadillac Escalated ext has 336000.k.m. have problem with traction control just started with the this problem great ,love it

What was the Landau cover?

[@nicholasmagcamit8233]

Nice truck !

Wasp FYI: Dow scrubbing bubbles will kill the wasp. It will kill a huge nest in one second. It will knock them out of the air when they are charging you!!! Truth: I've done it! I've invented it.
