2002 Cadillac Escalade Unknown

Vehicle Highlights, Escalade comes as a luxury SUV and a crossover SUV/pickup-truck called the EXT. The SUV shares a platform with the GMC Yukon/Denali and Chevrolet Tahoe but has more power and unique appointments. The EXT is a similarly embellished version of the Chevrolet Avalanche. Standard on both are front side airbags, antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, traction control, Cadillac's automatic-adjusting road-sensing suspension, 17-inch alloy wheels, and rear-obstacle-warning and OnStar-assistance systems. The SUV seats seven and offers rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive without low-range gearing. AWD Escalades have a 6.0-liter V8 and tow up to 8500 lb, 2WD models have a 5.3 V8 and tow 7700 lb. The EXT's 'midgate' divides its 4-dr cab from its cargo bed. The rear window removes and the midgate folds along with the rear seat to extend the 5.3-ft bed to 8.1 ft. EXT seats five, but just two with the midgate folded. It comes only with AWD and the 6.0 V8; towing capacity is 8000 lb. AWD versions of both vehicles have antiskid control.
