2003 Cadillac Escalade consumer reviews

I bought it brand new in 2003. It literally had 6 miles on it. It's April of 2025 and she's still runs like a beast. I have 345,000 miles on her and she can still get all of that 345 horses with ease. Since I've had her I've only had to replace the water pump, fuel pump, and the alternator. She still runs like a dream! That 26 gallon fuel tank will let me go 8 hours non stop in any direction on the highway. I think I'll keep her!

This car is the best car I’ve ever purchased. I bought this car last year at 275k miles. I’m currently at 297k miles and all I’ve done, repair wise, is change the battery and give it a tune up. No problems at all. Can’t wait for my next Cad

This is a great reliable clean suv. Still has many many years of life left to give. Very strong truck. A must see. Yep yep

Awesome ride recommend to any body looking bought used with 76k on it feel like I got my money worth out the thing took it on quite a few road trips with the family as well! I love it when some one gets in on a trip and they immediately want to climb in the back and fall asleep! Plush Lester for the year!! Big and comfy not for someone who cares about gas I used premium 93 v power on mine the entire time and she ran Like champ

The gas system is not right wont pass echeak front passenger wheel is must fix system stables light is on dash abs light is on

The 2003-2006 Escalade ended up being one of the best designed SUV's which existed. In 2003, it was quicker to 60 than the Range Rover, and is still quicker than a Mini Cooper S. Interesting that the combination of engine and transmission was perfect for this vehicle. ONE SIMPLE FIX: Why does mine drive better at 140,000 miles than on day one? There is an issue with wandering on the highway with this generation Escalade. If you take it to an expert on alignment, there are caps that can be removed which GM refuses to remove. These caps allow the specialist to adjust camber and caster (I'm not sure which exact angle) but they will not adjust these at a GM dealership. The ride quality improves dramatically. Although the interior may have been nicer in newer models, ride quality suffered greatly as they focused on bigger wheels. The current generation is pathetic. The heated seats work poorly, the seats are smaller, and it rides so rough. We all believed it was a typical 70,000 mile vehicle, yet so many are surviving 300,000 miles. Another trick? When the rear adjustable shocks go, Monroe makes a direct replacement which functions with the computer properly. The non-adjustable alternative (quite popular) is MORE expensive and you lose the ride height adjustment, which I use all the time (I tow a small trailer). I have raced cars, own 2 new vehicles and an electric, and still, theEscalade is my favorite (the Challenger TA 392 is pretty amazing as well...as it is Mercedes-based).

Escalade is just a big luxurious relatively powerful SUV, comes full loaded and then some. I use 22" wheels which gives it that custom look. Thousands of after market goodies to individualise your ride , a great head turner ..... agreat long distance cruiser !

The Escalade was a dream car. To haul all of the sports equipment and my inventory for 15 years, it is the best car I have ever owned.

great car , best car , amazing car for all , is a nice car , power and styile in a single car Cadillac Escalade 03

We've had this car for several years now and it drives like a dream. The power of the engine makes the size of the car feel smaller than it is. The leather seats are very comfortable and luxurious. Love that it has seven seats.
