The Cadillac Escalade EXT is predominantly a pickup truck that General Motors
introduced in 2002. The originality of the Escalade EXT is quite debatable as
the vehicle bears striking resemblance with Chevrolet Avalanche. General Motors
came up with the EXT especially to fill up the void after the exit of Lincoln's
Blackwood luxury pickup truck. However, EXT is capable of scoring over its
rivals because the vehicle has combined features of a truck with the
spaciousness of SUV along with the luxury of Cadillac. Buyers will definitely
find it extremely difficult to stay away from such versatility.
The most interesting aspect of the Escalade EXT is that it can play many roles
with aplomb. Despite being a sport utility truck, the vehicle can smoothly
reposition itself from pickup to a five-passenger luxury vehicle. The
resourcefulness of the Escalade EXT is also quite impressive. The sports utility
truck comes with some advanced features like Stabilitrak friction management and
road-sensing break, four-wheel ABS, Midgate accumulator, GM's OnStar
communications and piloting system, Ultrasonic rearward Parking support,
four-wheel ABS, front and side airbags.
However, probably the most innovative feature associated with the EXT is a
Convert-a-Cab composite pickup. You can spread out the bed into the truck's cab
through a bottom-hinged door. Once introduced to capture the market share of
Lincoln Blackwood, the EXT is now putting up tough challenge to Lincoln Mark LT,
F-150-based pickup truck introduced in 2006. The pickup truck offers impeccable
ride quality with Cadillac's road sensing suspension. Add to that its fabulous
safety arrangements such as StabiliTrak and traction control. Also to watch out
for is its awesome powertrain specification. The Cadillac Escalade EXT hits the
road with powerful V8 engine capable of producing 345-horsepower.
