1999-2000 Cadillac Escalade: Year-to-Year Changes

2000 Cadillac Escalade: Cadillac's Escalade kept the basic 1999 design for one more season, as did the GMC Denali and Chevrolet's Tahoe Z71 and Limited. Redesigned Chevrolet Tahoes and GMC Yukons, on the other hand, got new platforms, styling, and engines. Nothing was new for the second-year Escalade, except that buyers got a choice of a rear liftgate/tailgate or full center-opening doors. Standard equipment included full-time four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case, limited-slip differential, antilock braking, daytime running lights, automatic climate control, and rear air-conditioner controls. Escalades were fitted with leather upholstery, cruise control, 10-way power front bucket seats, heated front/rear seats, a Bose cassette/CD player, and a six-disc CD changer. No Escalades were offered for 2001, but a new version debuted as a 2002 model.
