. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

INTERIOR SYSTEMS:SEAT HEAD RESTRAINTS
|
|
Description:
|
On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with rearward folding head restraints on the second row seats, two potential pinch points exist on each of the folding head restraints when the restraints are folded rearward as the seatback is folded down. If a person were to insert their finger(s) into the pinch point when the head restraint folds, it could trap and pinch the finger(s) causing injury. Dealers will install protective covers over the pinch points. Owner notification began November 8, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, GMC at 1-800-462-8782, or Cadillac at 1-800-458-8006.

STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
|
|
Description:
|
On certain pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, the galvanized steel tailgate support cables that retain the tailgate in the full open (horizontal) position may corrode, weaken, and eventually fracture. If both cables fractured, the tailgate would suddenly drop and strike the top surface of the rear bumper. Anyone sitting or standing on the horizontal surface of the tailgate when both cables fractured could be injured by falling from the tailgate. On vehicles that have had the bumper removed, the tailgate may drop even lower. Additionally, if there is cargo on the tailgate the cargo may fall off if the support cables fracture. Dealers will replace the cables. Interim owner notification began on April 7, 2004. Additional owner notification is expected to begin during the third quarter of 2004, when replacement parts will be available. Owners should contact Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339, Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC at 1-866-996-9463, or visit www.mygmlink.com, and enter your vehicle identification number.

Summary:
|
Black tie pickup.
By Sue Mead, NewCarTestDrive.com
Built on the full-sized Chevy Avalanche truck platform, the Escalade EXT carries the industry-leading DNA of GM trucks and sport-utility vehicles matched with the technologies and luxury of the Cadillac brand. Its eclectic carrying capabilities, new demographic reach, luxury appointments and unique looks make this vehicle an entirely new branch on the family tree.An impact player rather than a pinch hitter, this brute ute is aimed at a slightly younger crowd with an average age of 40 with higher incomes than traditional SUV buyers (average income around $110,000). Cadillac anticipates that about 80 percent of purchasers will be men. One look and you'll know why. Its styling is unabashedly burly and yet what makes this truck truly remarkable is its pioneering technology and powertrain-- delivering the brains behind the brawn. Compared to the sleeker and traditionally stylish Lincoln Blackwood, EXT takes center stage for its passenger-carrying and goods-ferrying capabilities. Despite its blocky exterior styling and monstrous proportions, its strong suit is that it's well engineered, well equipped, and has refined road manners befitting of the country club set. |

Overview:
|
The 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT is a new model in a new market: the luxury sport utility truck (SUT) segment. It combines the stowage and hauling capabilities of a full-sized pick-up truck with the people-carrying capacity of an SUV, packaged with the creature comforts of a luxury car. Cadillac Escalade EXT is designed to give drivers an alternative to owning an SUV and a truck. It comes with full-time four-wheel drive, five-passenger seating, a spacious interior and the unmatched cargo space of a full pick-up bed. Thanks to GM's Midgate it can be quickly converted from a people hauler to a hay hauler. This new luxury SUT, as it is called, follows on the heels of Lincoln's Blackwood, which arrived in dealerships in June 2001. The Cadillac Escalade EXT is based on the Chevy Avalanche, which also features the Midgate. Cadillac's luxury sport-utility truck is, of course, designed for an upscale audience. Trucks are popular with this crowd, and Cadillac says nearly a fourth of all of its customers own a pickups. At the same time, an increasing number of SUV buyers are women - and that's particularly true of the Escalade SUV. Surely, some of these people would like Cadillac levels of luxury and technology combined with a pickup bed, so, voila! Escalade EXT. With aggressive styling and a powerful 345-horsepower V8 the new Escalade EXT is no pussycat. Park it next to your average SUV and it looks like it would eat it for lunch. All of this comes at a price.
