For 2004, the Cadillac Escalade EXT added XM radio, a couple new colors, tire pressure monitoring, and a new package that enables you to add a sunroof and back-seat entertainment system in one package. Besides these exterior changes and high-tech add-ons, the SUV-pickup truck stays pretty much the same. The '04 Escalade EXT operates on a 6.0 L, 345 hp V8 engine with 4 speed automatic transmission and comes in one trim: the AWD Crew Cab SB. As you'll find with other years, the '04 Escalade EXT has 4 doors, seats 5, and gets 13 mpg in the city, 17 on the highway. Standard features include air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, power/leather seats, cd player, ABS brakes, traction control, and stability control. Options include navigation system and sunroof. The 2004 Cadillac Escalade EXT can tow up to 7400 lbs. and delivers 120 cubic feet of passenger space. So what do the experts think about this model? Pretty much what they've always said: powerful, attractive, comfortable, but thirsty for gas and commands a high price tag. If you want one, save some change and put it in a mutual fund. Those who can afford it say it's worth every penny.
