The 2009 Cadillac Escalade EXT is the sole luxury sport-pickup offered by GM. Design wise, Escalade EXT shares similarities with its corporate sibling, the Chevrolet Avalanche. However, what makes Escalade special is its Midgate mechanism, a folding partition between the cargo bed and the interior. With rear-seats folded, this Midgate opens up to extend the pickup bed further. A three-folded hard plastic cover converts the open bed into a trunk.
The 2009 Escalade EXT has 6.2L V8 that churns out 403Hp. It can accelerate quickly and tow up to 6000 pounds. A 6-speed Hydra-Matic transmission system and road sensing suspension with real-time computer control ensure a smooth ride.
Moreover, a removable rear window, excellent leather upholstery, Bose 5.1 Surround Sound and an optional Ultra Luxury package comprising DVD touch-screen navigation, a rearview camera and sunroof make Caddy Escalade EXT a highly sophisticated yet powerful utility vehicle.
