The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating

TCC’s Bottom Line
Especially if towing capability matters, the 2013 Cadillac Escalade is one of the most luxurious--and most fashionable--luxury SUVs you can get. If a need still exists for full-size luxury SUVs, it'll be fulfilled by civilized utes like the Infiniti QX56. A luxurious SUV with limited appeal, the Lexus LX 570 isn't quite at home on the range, or on the interstate.
