our expert's take

The first truck in the 96-year history of the Cadillac brand is destined to be a bestseller for General Motors’ otherwise stagnant luxury-vehicle line.

But the 1999 Escalade isn’t a new vehicle. It’s a gussied-up GMC Yukon/Chevrolet Tahoe, built alongside the others at GM’s plant in Arlington, Texas.

Because Cadillac dealers were screaming to GM for a sport-utility vehicle to battle the highly popular Lincoln Navigator and to entice people under retirement age into their showrooms, GM rushed the Escalade from concept to market in less than a year.

Plans originally were to wait until the new-generation Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon debuted this fall to roll out a Cadillac sport-utility vehicle, but dealers insisted that they get an SUV sooner.

Even though there was a rush to bring the Escalade to showrooms, GM didn’t cut any corners. This vehicle is a worthy competitor for the Navigator and other vehicles in the burgeoning full-size SUV market segment, which includes the Range Rover, Isuzu Trooper/Acura SLX and Toyota Land Cruiser/Lexus LX 470.

My significant other, who is a great fan of full-size SUVs, pronounced the Escalade her favorite among the class. “Tell them we’re not giving it back, just to send us the payment book,” she said during our week with the Escalade.

But at a list price of $45,875 (plus $640 transportation), it had to go back, even though I didn’t want it to. I have children to feed.

This is the ultimate Yukon or Tahoe, complete with comfortable perforated leather seats (a bit cooler on the backside than solid leather seats in hot climates like Texas’), rugged yet refined four-wheel drive (suited for any driving conditions, including deep snow or off-road mountain climbing), a built-in satellite navigation system linked to live operators at GM’s OnStar communications center (they can unlock your doors by satellite remote control if you lock yourself out of the vehicle), and a 255-horsepower V-8 engine that pushes this vehicle along with the best of them.

As a lifelong off-road driving aficionado, I appreciate that GM kept the great off-road attributes of the Tahoe and Yukon in the Escalade. The only differences are the highway tires that come standard on the Escalade and a slightly softer suspension. If you want to do some serious exploring, you can put off-road tires on the Escalade, but even the stock tires will work for mild off-roading. The Escalade, like the four-wheel-drive versions of the Tahoe and Yukon, even has a low-range gearbox setting for serious hill-climbing. And unlike the Tahoe and Yukon, the Escalade is not offered in a cheaper two-wheel-drive version.

Of course, I understand that most Escalade buyers won’t take their vehicles off-road, but I’m sure they will appreciate that the vehicle can handle the wilderness if they ever want to go.

The Escalade will mostly be an around-town family hauler and on-the-road travel machine, perhaps pulling a horse trailer, sailboat or camper. It can tow up to 6,000 pounds.

What the Escalade does for Cadillac dealers is perhaps its most significant achievement. It brings baby boomers into showrooms for the first time. Cadillac hopes that some of those boomers will pass on the Escalade and buy another Cadillac product such as the Seville STS — a truly remarkable vehicle that they might never have considered if they hadn’t been drawn into the dealership by the big SUV.

Lincoln is finding that to be true of its Navigator. People who wouldn’t have considered visiting a Lincoln showroom before the Navigator are coming in now and driving away in other Lincolns.

My only complaint with the Escalade is the same one I have with the Tahoe and Yukon equipped with heated seats. The switch for the driver’s seat heater is on the lower left side of the seat near the seat-position controls, completely out of sight. It is easily bumped on while adjusting the seat, and within minutes, e driver begins melting away. The first time I drove a Tahoe, I accidentally turned on the seat heater and had to stop the car a few minutes later, take the owner’s manual from the glovebox, and figure out where the switch was so I could turn it off.

Like the Tahoe and Yukon, the Escalade is a shortened version of the Suburban, the national car of Texas. That means that it doesn’t have room for a third seat; consumers have to choose one of its competitors to get that feature. A third seat is available in the Navigator and Land Cruiser/LX 470, as well as in the smaller but also competitive Mercedes-Benz M-class.

The Escalade seats five full-size adults in comfort, and there is 66.9 cubic feet of cargo space available behind the rear seat. Fold the rear seat down and that space expands to 118.2 cubic feet.

The 5.7-liter V-8 engine is the only power plant offered, but it is more than adequate for this vehicle. As heavy as it is — nearly 5,573 pounds — the Escalade can go from zero to 60 mph in 10.5 seconds. The transmission is a smooth-shifting four-speed automatic with overdrive.

Escalade’s top speed is 110 mph, and even at highway speeds, the vehicle handles rather well. Among the standard features are speed-sensitive power steering and four-wheel antilock brakes.

Inside, passengers ride in the luxury and comfort they would expect from a Cadillac, even though it is a truck. The Escalade is elegant, but unlike many Cadillac cars of the past, the elegance isn’t ridiculously overdone.

All controls are within easy reach of the driver, and gauges are large and easy to read.

Standard is a Bose Acoustimass music system with cassette and single compact-disc players in the dash, as well as a six-disc remote CD changer. There are four speakers in the doors, two in the headliner and a subwoofer in the console. Rear-seat passengers have their own stereo controls and headphones so they can listen privately to something different from what is being played up front.

Automatic climate control isn’t offered on the Escalade; it uses the same manual heating/air-conditioning system that comes with the Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. There is a separate control for the rear fan, however.

Most other luxury features are standard, including power windows/mirrors/door locks, automatic-dimming mirrors, high-tech theft-deterrent system, running boards for easy entry/exit, remote locking/unlocking, front and rear consoles, eight cupholders, 10-way power driver and passenger seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel and cruise control.

The Escalade comes fully loaded, so there are no options offered. Total sticker is $46,515, including transportation.

EPA fuel-economy ratings are about average for this class: 13 miles per gallon in the city and 16 mpg on the highway. The tank holds 30 gallons of gasoline, and regular unleaded is recommended.

THE PACKAGE: Full-size, four-door, five-passenger, V -8 power, four-wheel-drive sport-utility wagon based on the Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon.

HIGHLIGHTS: The first truck-based Cadillac product offers luxury, elegance and performance in a full-size SUV package. There is good power, comfortable seating, a roomy interior, and excellent on- and off-road performance.

NEGATIVES: Front-seat heater switches are in an awkward place, out of sight on the sides of the seats.

MAJOR COMPETITORS: Ford Expedition/Lincoln Navigator, Isuzu Trooper/Acura SLX, Land Rover Discovery, Range Rover, Toyota Land Cruiser/Lexus LX 470, Mercedes-Benz M-class.

EPA FUEL ECONOMY: 13 miles per gallon city, 16 highway.

BASE PRICE: $45,875 plus $640 transportation.

PRICE AS TESTED: $46,515, including transportation.

ON THE ROAD RATING: A-plus.

  • Best rig Ive ever owned.

    I bought this SUV 1.5 years ago from a first owner with 165k miles. It now has 224k miles and I am in love with her. She is sort of an overland vehicle for me. We've been across the country multiple times and off the grid car camping. The roof holds my Cargo carrier, kayak, awning, while inside is my bed, fridge and mini kitchen, the back has a parallel motorcycle carrier that holds my Harley (installed a class 4). All I've changed is rims, tires (now A/Ts), and put Bilstein shocks. She goes all over the place, mud, snow and is dependable. When she craps the bed I'll swap whatever parts I need to keep her going. Looking for another one just to have it.

    I am the second owner of this Caddy. Great truck. I'm a tall guy and there is a lot of leg room. Plenty of room for 5 full grown adults. Decent cargo area. The mechanicals are reliable. Ive got 195,000 miles on truck and it seems like it has many more to go.

  • 1999 Escalade review after 30

    I am the second owner of this 1999 Cadillac Escalade SUV, yes SUV. It is NOT a truck, it does not have a bed. This one had a third row seat, factory or dealer installed, I can not confirm. The seating material pattern matches the front and mid seats so it would be safe to say it is original GM. I removed it, it consumes the cargo space I need for work and pleasure. The third row seat also faces the rear hatch window like the old ranch wagons (station wagons) of the 60's and 70's. The 1999/2000 Escalade is a classic example of GM's rush to production, slap some plastic panels on it, spray paint the the interior and add $10,000 automobile. The special features do NOT add up to what I would consider a well planned, well though out and well executed roll out of a new model vehicle. It is GM, the less one expects the more surprised one will be. This Escalade badged Tahoe is a joke at the end of the run. True there are some cool features, the touch of a button style 4wd controls (actually work pretty darn good), this unit did not have any performance specialities; bigger V-8 or more horsepower/torque with the current one and did not have four wheel disc brakes. So going back, a fluffy Tahoe with a few and I do mean few added goodies like; perforated leather seating areas, Delco Bose (although sound level limited it does sound really good), OnStar is nice but now outdated, interior decor is pretty nice, gives the illusion you are in a high-end well made luxury SUV (there it again, SUV not a truck). Driving this unit is ok, feels top heavy, swaying left to right or right to left, braking is confident, power is weak, it is a measly 255 horsepower 5.7 (350 cid Chevrolet) V8 and fuel injected! Not good GM, not good. Gas mileage often comes up. We are talking about a 5,500 pound, 4x4 SUV (there it is again, SUV), does gas mileage really matter? I get between 15.7 and 18.1 on the highway. I can definitely say speed, use of the A/C and load make quite a difference. I bought it because this is the first year of the "Cadillac Escalade" generation one, I do like the unique front nose, only shared with the GMC Denali. Sad to say it is pack with GM short comings though otherwise it would be a AWESOME vehicle. Quick history, I have owned three Excursions, four Durangos (2000/2003) and a Tahoe (2001). I have owned many others but these units are in the comparative.

  • owned by elderly couple, purchased in estate sale

    Wish I could keep this car as it has been so comfortable to drive, especially long drives pulling my pop-up trailer. I just hate to part with this low mileage SUV, but I no longer need this as my tow vehicle. Was looking forward to using this as my primary vehicle in retirement, but bought another RV, and no longer need it.

  • What a great car

    We needed a larger car or SUV we researched very many different cars and SUVs and test drove about 6 total cars When we drove the Escalade we fell in love with the ride and the 4X4 and the fact that EVERYTHING works while the SUV is High mileage it has been very well maintained ! I never thought I would be driving a Cadillac and although it is not great on fuel economy the space for 5 adults offsets the fuel mileage ~ I would highly recommend this car to anyone who needs a SUV

  • Surprisingly great SUV

    This is my son's vehicle I get to drive while he is deployed. It is total comfort and luxury and easier to handle than I thought for my 5'4" frame. It handles well in snow and has been fully reliable in below freezing weather of the northeast. Great truck, has towing package and nothing has been forgotten in the interior design. Great for long distance travel too.
