For those longing for a longer wheelbase on an already lengthy SUV, Cadillac introduced the Escalade ESV in 2003. The ESV takes on the same 6.0 L, 345 hp V8 engine and 4 speed automatic transmission as the Escalade AWD. For those looking for the Platinum Edition Escalade ESV trim, switch your search to 2004 or later.
The 2003 Cadillac Escalade ESV has 4 doors, seats 8, and features 45.7 cubic feet of cargo space with all seats up. Towing capacity maxes out at around 7400 lbs. Standard features include air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, power/leather seats, cd player, ABS brakes, traction control, and stability control.

Just took a cross country drive in this vehicle and it handles great. Smooth ride. Only drawback is the gas mileage, which is no surprise for a full sized SUV.

In short, it's a beast. It wades through high water like a champ, swallows cargo almost indefinitely, and the six liter V8 is potent enough to hustle it past dawdlers on the freeway or chaufeur horses around town, all while keeping its passengers in the lap of luxury. It is however, very thirsty. The driver's seat is fully adjustable as are the pedals and steering wheel. Some of the interior components are made of cheap plastic rather than the brushed aluminum or wood inserts that grace the interiors of many European SUVs, but the exterior picks up the slack with its bold, squared-off styling and crisp character lines.
