Product Overview

Cadillac Escalade 2 (chassis code GMT800) is a full-size luxury SUV in production from 2002 to 2006. It was available with a couple of small block V8 engines that displaced 5.3 and 6.2 liters paired to 4-speed 4L60E/4L65E automatic transmissions.
With a 15.0L/100km (15.7mpg) fuel "dis-economy", owners have to be prepared to pay for their "smiles-per-mile". Utility-minded owners will love the high 3891L (137cu-ft) of cargo space.
