This is my personal daily driver. A 2002 Cadillac Escalade finished in Pearl white and equipped with a spectacular air ride suspension and all wheel drive! At the time this video was made it had just over 248,000 miles! Enjoy my folks. Don't forget to smash the Like Button for the CZcams algorithm! :) - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I've got an 04 i drive like a beast! 247000 miles on it and I put about 35000 a year on it. Its one of the best vehicles I've ever owned.
340k on 04 ext still strong only had to do some suspension work frequent oil and fluid changes and minor body work as I live in Canada
I love my 2004 Cadillac Escalade ESV too. 241,000 miles man. I refuse to give up on her - I keep putting $ into repairs, recently hydro booster, steering parts, back axel completely went and got replaced. She’s a beauty though she deserves to be kept alive!
I have an ‘05 Yukon Denali, pretty similar to this & I’m past the 250,000 mile marker. This thing is a tank. It does suck on gas, but it truly is a gem. I love my air ride, when it’s not throwing weird electrical codes 😂
I watched this review and decided to buy 2002 Escalade like yours. Absolutely in love. 240000 miles and powerful.
I’m glad that you found it helpful. It’s my first car review and I didn’t know what to expect from it!
@@milesfast I got it for a steal. 2200. Cold a/c, good paint, no engine light, a beast under the hood. I happy I bought it and reviewed this.
@@chadjohnson13 you def got a steal. i just saw an 06 selling for $18K smh
@@chadjohnson13 wow that was a DeeeaaL 🤣😂
I'm totally digging this video review. I must say, everything you said and reviewed upon is accurate and on spot. I love my 2002 Escalade AWD as I see you do too. I ride and treasure it everyday. AND I drive it hard and go everywhere including off-roading, camping, fishing, to the zoo, to the stadium, to my kids school, I take it hunting and to church. I use it for grocery shopping, big bos store hardware shopping and have towed bass boats and light to middle sized trailers. I absolutely love it. 220k+ miles and still running strong. I asbolutely dig the AWD and none of my buddies expect it to get in and out of the deep soggy woods. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Not even for the newer ones... But my wife might digress.
Awesome! So glad to hear. I drive it like a rally car everywhere I go! Haha! Mine has 250,000+ working on getting it to 300,000!
Good comment, "But my wife might digress?" ?
What a good description I love mine too 🥰👍
My husband is at 400,000 on his 2002 Escalade. It’s his pride and joy! 😂
Daaaamn those are tons of miles 🤣😂
Is it good for the snu
Heck yes I love my 02 Ext too!!
@@lolitasaucedo67 _Nothin for them earlier 5.3/6.0s_
Wow Does it still run strong ?
I jacked the power folding mirrors, leather seats, cluster and steering wheel off a wrecked Escalade for my truck. Really hit the jackpot on that one
If you have the captains chairs in the middle row, it’s much easier to get in and out of the 3rd row through the middle. Gotta love the 2nd Gen Escalades. Built to last forever.
I’m up to 270,000 miles now.
id still rather get a rear bench seat to be honest
I just bought a 2006 ESV with the Vortex max! It has plenty of power and just rides like a dream. I plan on driving this thing until the wheels fall off! You can tell the quality of how this was built compared to the new crap that's built today.
I just bought a 2002 Escalade 2wd and it rides so smooth
It’s been my dream suv since I was 6, nice ride and big beast. I liked tahoes but this was always nice, the wood and the style of the grill, those chrome wheels looking nice, bose system and sunroof. Looks like a fun ride, I’d hope to maybe get one one day as a second car, i’d buy this 2nd gen over the newer ones today
Great review, straight forward great info, and a really nice truck to boot!
Little info on that 6.0. The ones that came in the Escalade, Sierra VHO and Silverado SS are known by a few different terms, commonly referred to as the LQ9, VortecMaxx, or Vortec H.O 6000. These 6.0s are different than the LQ4 that could be found in pickups and Suburbans. They have a higher output due to a flattop piston that increases compression compared to the standard dished piston that came on the LQ4. This makes the LQ9 highly desirable.
All in all these Escalades (especially with the LQ9) are awesome little trucks, and can certainly get out of their own way!
Plus the gen 4 rods that's the best part of the lq9
Nice ride brotha. I have a 2003 and its still riding good at 198 thousand miles
I just rolled past 250,000 on this one. Looking forward to 300,000!
U bought it used?
Yes. Maybe i should make another video going over all the repairs I’ve done! 😂
My buddy had one. Always liked the 2002 escalade. My father had a 1999 Yukon SLT the same time, alot of the same items. Escalade changes it up a little for the 2003/04 years.
Went today to test drive 2004 and 2002 / I did prefer the 2002 better visibility of the road and more comfortable will try tomorrow 2007 ... to decide !!
Thanks. I appreciate you showing your Escalade. Looking to buy one day, and definitely seems up my alley.
It’s my daily to my daily until it hits 300k then it will be my daily to my dailys daily. LoL
@@milesfast I see u enjoy it
I love mine too 😁👍
pretty good camera angles, good review
Lq9 is 345 hp, I have an 02 same color. The 4l65 transmission is the weak link. Great review.
Been on the hunt for a good deal on an older generation Escalade for over a year. Finally got an opportunity for an ‘02 with 160k miles, brand new brakes and brake lines, 24” wheels, tires, windshield, upholstery, paint, halo headlights, LED taillights, and Alpine head unit. Gonna run me just over $5k. Couldn’t resist this time, pouncing on it this week. So stoked.
I had mine for sale but no real offers so took it off market. 187k miles with transmission fully rebuilt about 200 miles ago. Had it going for 6.5k since I paid 4.2k for transmission work still under warranty but people just offer with no cash in hand.
I have a hunter green 2002 Escalade and just hit 130k miles. I've had this car since '03...bought it with 18k miles on it. First ten years only drove on weekends while I put miles on my 2004 Corolla (has 235k and still rolling). I stay on top of maintenance and repair/replace before it's needed. While at Autzone...had someone offer me $15k for it last week (20 Aug 2021) Hubbie wants to get a new one...Not! Best. Car. Ever.
Great video !! Fantastic info !!!!’
Very comfortable driver seat indeed !!!
Best review on an Escalade I've seen. It was peaceful like Mr. Rogers Neighborhood and also very very thorough and informative.
I'm considering getting one of these.
You should you’ll love it mine is black
Good video have a lead on a 2002 Escalade with a 6.0 Vortec has 155 on it , new tires and some other things - this answered a lot of questions
Glad I could be helpful. I plan on driving mine too 300,000 miles. Currently sitting at 285,000. Tough little tank!
This was my childhood car! Always loved it! Want to get one!
I’ll sell you mine once i hot 300k :)
@@milesfast How much haha
I could let it go for $5,000. I’m currently at 289,xxx miles :)
Awesome video I have a black one it's awesome only drawback is the gas but it is an suv
I love my 2012 Esv platinum. Low mileage coming up to the 10K
Take care of it
I have one with 250K it’s lifted on 33’s its still in good shape I drive it on the beach all the time! Ac works good too
My ac is busted. Also I do have chrome 22s for it but can’t justify spending $1200 on tires so i get the cheap tires on the 17s
Nice Ride Car Guy
I miss my 05 ext. but the 08 Yukon is a pretty good upgrade in some regards. Do miss the truckbed tho.
Nice! I have an 05 esv with the 6.0 and 88k miles
That’s gold!
Can I buy it hahaha
Good job
I have 2006 ESV with way over 200k miles and drives like brand new.
God I want an 09 escalade bad
My dad passed down his 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT to me and found out yesterday, it has an astounding 110k miles on it. Bruh!
Score!
My friend has one and it’s hella fast
I’m enjoying your review my Escalade is Black well equipped 4 by 4 headrests DVD players Sunroof ,chrome rims I got my chula the Perelli the very nicest ones , I love spoiling my chula 🥰 she has allllll tinted windows and even the Windshield in front for more privacy I Love How Smooth it runs I drive to Tijuana on Weekends and Gas is alright not too bad B👍
I guess I got the Deluxe one ….
So ppl if like and your thinking about getting An Escalade don’t think twice you won’t regret it the seats are soooo comfortable for long drives I love “My Chula” 💙❤️🥰😎
Yes! I’ve done multiple cross country trips and the seats are like sitting on a leather sofa. Very high quality! Great for long drives :)
@@milesfast yes let’s enjoy them even though they waste gas driving around the city 😔🤪
Hi, I got a 2004 Cadillac Escalade platinum ESV and it has the 6.0 all wheel drive 345 hp I think the 2002 also has 345 hp. Not 330 but nice ride 👍
I think you may be right.
GMC Yukon Denali (Escalade lite) had the 6.0.
And the h2
The h2 had the LT iron block.
2002 GMC Yukon Denali had the 6.0. Frikkin get that A/C fixed bro!
I have a 02, it is a good truck, but the awd has many problems, that's why I transform it into 2wd, not only do I have more power, I also save gas.👍👍
I’ve never had any problem with my AWD and I’m at 255,xxx miles! Keep rollin’!
I have an 05 esv platinum with 133k. I'm starting to have front differential problems. How did you delete it?
@@thechosen5805 I used a transfer case from a tahoe 02 4x4 (246)
my cadillac has 6.0L
this is the link for more info:czcams.com/video/-BvNzmlyVyk/video.html
I did replace my front diff at just under 250,000 miles. But since then i havent had an issue. Also before that i didnt have any issues it just had a lot of play in the axel so i chose to replace it.
I found a 5.3 escalade with rwd to avoid and issues
😍
I have a 2005 I bought new,rides great,the steering system is the one I like the most,my is 6.0 Vortex 345 HP. moves real good for an suv,I have electronic issues like components that don`t work,(heating seats) changed a started switch,now the air ride is broken,I don`t drive my car much it has 69 K miles changed brakes twice and tires once,I will fix the issues and will drive it till wheels fall off.
He bout t break his escalade
Hit gas hard
Nope! Still running strong :)
Papi chulo, you look beautiful with that glasses
Onstar analog system is obsolete. It is quite dirty. I hope that you got it detailed.
I use it to drive around four messy kids. It would be a waste to get it detailed hahaha!
Hi. Wich farbcode is it? Thx
Where do i find that?
2002 at 250000 miles i still c it like a brand new truck
Is it reliable?
Yes of course! The 6.0 is one of the most reliable GM motors. My awd is great in the snow!
@@milesfast thanks for the info
Is It Still Running Good?
270,000+ miles. Still running like a tank!
What car are those wheels from?
I believe a tahoe or yukon. Also i got them from two different vehicles at the junk yard. My 22’s are chrome and needed new tires but the tires are so expensive! And i dont run the 22’s in the winter because the salt destroys the chrome.
I just found out they are from a 1st gen chevy avalanche
I had rear ac and electrical problems with this car. That's it.
I’m currently at 290,xxx miles. Once I hit 300,000 i will make an update video. So far no major issues.
345 horsepower not 330
I got a AWD 5.3 Cadillac Escalade
What year did they do that?
milesfast In 2002
All of the AWD had a 6.0. The 5.3 was only in the rwd.
Yupp only 6.0s were awd
i would buy that from you.
I am looking at buying a used Escalade AWD truck version ((the one that looks like the Avalanche)) with the 6.0, does anybody know if they sit on a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton chassis??
You should definitely get one! :)
milesfast the one I am looking at is a 2002
It should be similar to this one :)
They are 3/4 ton suspension and brakes and rear end
IT SETS ONA .1 TON.CHAS.IS A TANK.MAN.DON GAT 1..
06 Escalade 240000 miles and just two transmissions 😅😅😅
What exhaust you got?
It’s the factory exhaust.
345hp
Still have it?
Yes i sure do!
@@milesfast awesome glad someone still appreciates the older escalades 😊
Sean McCleary I've got a blue 03 ext with 130k and I love that truck sooo much will never get rid of it.
i find it weird how the 2002 escalade uses the same front seat pattern as a Chevy suburban/tahoe/silverado
Why is that weird? They are all based on the same model.
@@milesfast i know its the same platform but during 1999/2002 the Chevrolet and gmc used different seat patterns and the escalade had a different seat pattern for the rear but the front uses the pattern on the Chevrolet
@@milesfast wait did you see the reply or are you busy
Is it me or that sounded super charged
It does sound that way. But it’s not. Not yet anyway 🤪
Get kryptonite wheel hubs
I actually have some nice 22s that were on it, but i don’t feel like spending $1500 on tires. The tires are now more expensive than the wheels… 🙄
345hp, not 330…
I berliv this car belongs to the jonkyard and not to pushed sombody aus!
This statement is incoherent.
I have an 04 myself and I got to say its great but you don’t keep it looking nice at all
Mine is not in the best condition. But also i have four kids who leave little messes and i don’t try to keep it perfect.
you want 1200 cach.
In your dreams 😂
😂😂😂
Ill give you 50 thousand and a mustang
I’ll take it!
those twisting winding roads u have are nothing....now every body has heard of the dragons tail,, but speed limits are 25-30 and cops all over the place....if u prefer 50-60 and only one cop ,visit the Talimina dr,,.and forget about a SUV, bring a vette ,Trans Am, or other great handling car,half in ARK other half in OK,,about a hour south of ft smith ark...near mena ark,, u know where the CIA flew in c-130's full of cocaine when Reagan was president and bill clinton was gov of ark and got his nose candy free...
Terrible audio
why its so fck dirty everywhere? yuck
Doush
If your going to call names at least you could learn how to spell... clearly it shows your own ignorance . It is spelled douche defined as a feminine cleaning product or anybody who spouts off referring to another person as such unaware how to spell the very word they are calling another. This makes the person a douche bag.
Is ok you know what i meant to say right?
