2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT Truck

Benefits of Driving a 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT Truck
The Escalade's cabin is one of the most impressive, opulent interiors offered in an SUV, and ride quality and overall interior quality are top-notch.

The 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT is one of three Escalade models and is essentially a cross between an SUV and a crew-cab pickup. For all its luxurious versatility, the Cadillac Escalade EXT's hefty 6,000-pound weight contributes to lackluster braking performance and poor fuel economy. The 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT is a premium full-size sport-utility truck offered in three trim levels: base, Luxury and Premium.
Standard features include 18-inch alloy wheels; automatic xenon headlamps; foglamps; a roof rack; an adaptive suspension; rear parking sensors; power-folding and driver auto-dimming mirrors; a fold-down midgate; leather upholstery; 10-way power front seats with heating, cooling and driver memory settings; power-adjustable pedals; tilt-only steering wheel; dual-zone automatic climate control and remote engine ignition. The Luxury trim adds 22-inch chrome alloy wheels, Magnetic Ride Control adjustable suspension (optional on base), automatic high beams, power sunroof and a heated steering wheel. Every Escalade EXT is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 producing 403 horsepower and 417 pound-feet of torque. Power is transferred through a six-speed automatic transmission, full-time AWD and heavy-duty locking rear differential. All 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT models include standard antilock disc brakes, stability control, traction control, front side-impact airbags and full-length head curtain side-impact airbags with rollover protection. Other standard safety features include rear parking sensors, a rearview camera and OnStar communications. The Escalade EXT's cabin treats its occupants to the experience expected of a Cadillac.

The EXT's name is a little deceiving; while it carries the Escalade name, and is very much part of this iconic luxury SUV family, it's a pickup.
Just as the Escalade has become a glitzy, chrome-and-excess fantasy object, the same applies here. The EXT isn't offered in a top-gloss Platinum version, as other Escalades, but its top Pemium trim gets power-retractable running boards, IntelliBeam headlamps, a rear DVD entertainment system, and a heated steering wheel—in addition to the great Bose sound system and all the other Escalade standard features.
