The second-generation Cadillac Escalade, launched for 2002, was a massive step up from its predecessor.

The Escalade quickly became a pop culture icon, symbolizing success and celebrity in the early 2000s. The lineup also included the ESV extended-length model and the innovative Escalade EXT, a luxury pickup based on the Chevrolet Avalanche with its versatile Midgate system.
Buying Tips
- Check for worn driver's seat leather and cracked interior plastic trim, which are common.
- The 4L65-E transmission can be a weak point; check for smooth shifts and look for service records.
- Test all electronics, as failing instrument cluster stepper motors, dead pixels in the radio display, and faulty air ride suspension components are known issues.
- Inspect the frame, rocker panels, and brake lines for rust, especially in regions that use road salt.
