Whether you opt for a used Cadillac Escalade or a new vehicle, the car will transport you back to the time when this vehicle meant money - big money. In short the Cadillac Escalade represents what is considered to be the world's most powerful SUV with a 345-horsepower engine.
With impressive, sharp styling and larger-than-life dimensions, even a used model bought at a repossessed car auction has a presence that can hardly be ignored - on its own or in the company of other brands with similar intentions...
The brand name offers three models, with the standard option being a full-size sport utility vehicle. The Escalade ESV has Suburban-sized dimensions, while the EXT is a sport utility truck which quickly converts from a 5-passenger luxury vehicle to an 8-foot bed pickup.
With an improved satellite navigational system (touch-screen added) and boosted airconditioning, making an effort to find a well-priced 2005 used Cadillac Escalade is worth the effort - not to mention the high-output 6-liter V8 powerplant which is standard on the all-wheel drive models.
The 2005 Escalade EXT features new wood trim (Walnut Burl replaces Zebrano), and you will also encounter a newly designed chrome bezelled instrument gauges.
