2010 Cadillac Escalade Parts & Accessories

2010 Cadillac Escalade

As truck sales heated up in the 1990s Cadillac contemplated getting into the truck market. When Lincoln debuted their Navigator in 1998, Cadillac’s response was the 1999 Escalade. The first Escalade was just a revised GMC Yukon, which was their top-of-the-line truck. This explains why it only took Cadillac 10 months to develop. Cadillac applied their passenger car-style grille and luxurious interiors that included leather and real wood trim. Then in 2002 the new generation trucks were introduced, and so the new Escalade was developed more thoroughly than the first Escalade. Their “Art and Science” design aesthetic was applied to the Escalade with its vertical lighting and razor sharp details. Cadillac also launched variations of the Chevy Suburban called ESV, and the Chevy Avalanche which Cadillac named EXT. Today the Escalade is sold around the world—Canada, Mexico, Russia and the Middle East.
