The 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT is from the brand's first generation of luxury sport-utility trucks. It is powered by a 6.0-liter V8 engine that delivers 345 horsepower, all-wheel-drive as standard, and a 4-speed automatic transmission. The Escalade EXT offers plenty of upscale features, such as heated seats, a Bose sound system, and rear-seat audio controls. Its standout function is the 'Midgate' system that folds down to expand the cargo bed into the cabin. The 2002 Escalade EXT does not skimp on safety either, with standard anti-lock brakes, traction control, and front and side airbags. However, its fuel efficiency is not one of its strengths.
