For 2005, Cadillac revamped the instrument cluster and upped the horsepower to 345 on both trims of the Escalade. The high-rolling SUV also gets advanced OnStar equipment, attractive exterior accents, and optional 20 inch wheels. The '05 Escalade comes in 2 trims: 2WD and AWD.
Expect to get 13 mpg in the city and 18 on the highway. Both trims have 4 doors, seat 8, and offer standard 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. In case you feel like doing some heavy lifting, the Escalade can tow up to around 4 tons.
Overall, everyone likes the '05 Escalade's power, style, ride, comfort, looks, and solid towing capacity. On the other hand, drivers have some occasional issues with the navigation system. In addition, while the Escalade has a rep as a gas guzzler, would-be critics traditionally mention it with their tongue in cheek. People know that the Escalade escalates your status and provides a ride you won't forget anytime soon.
What owners say
"Overall, drivers love the 2005 Cadillac Escalade for its powerful performance, spacious and comfortable interior, and impressive sound system. Many appreciate its handling and off-road capability, making it great for various conditions. However, some owners find the second-row space a bit cramped and mention the absence of heated seats as a downside."

August 30, 2009Rips through the snow, even on 22's, keeps ya warm in the winter and looks bad ass in the snow. Very spacious cab with plenty of storage space in the bed. A little less room in the second row, and no heated seats, but the rear window comes out to blow all the ciggy smoke out the spot.
