The 2011 Cadillac EXT. It takes Escalade’s perfect blend of design, innovation and luxury and combines it with unrivaled versatility and flexibility. Escalade EXT is a 5-passenger SUV that can transform with ease into a 2-passenger luxury truck with an 8-foot bed, thanks to its versatile Midgate® panel. Plus, Escalade EXT offers the styling and amenities that make Cadillac Escalade the most acclaimed SUV ever, like a commanding presence, 14-way power-adjustable front seats with leather seating surfaces, brushed aluminum, burled wood and polished chrome accents. When it comes to power and capability, Escalade EXT delivers. A 6.2L 403 HP V8 engine coupled to a heavy-duty 6-speed automatic transmission gives Escalade EXT a maximum towing capacity of 7,600 lbs.29 when properly equipped. Automatic electronic rear-level control and computer-controlled Road Sensing Suspension help even out—and smooth out—the ride while towing. There’s also available Magnetic Ride Control—a class-exclusive suspension system that reacts in the blink of an eye to changing road conditions. Escalade ESV full-size luxury SUV comes standard with All-Wheel Drive (AWD) to help you power through some of the worst road conditions. With all of this, it’s no surprise Escalade EXT is the ultimate luxury utility vehicle.
Behind the EXT’s rear seat is the key to its versatility—the Midgate panel. It converts this 5-passenger SUV with a short bed to a 2-passenger luxury truck with an 8-foot bed. It features:
Open-air driving: rear window can be unlatched and stowed in the special recess in the Midgate panel
The Midgate panel can be folded forward with the window in place to create 101 cu. ft. of covered and secured cargo space14
Top box storage that’s ideal for small, wet or dirty items you don’t want inside the vehicle
Underfloor lockable storage that holds extra items out of sight
A lockable tonneau cover that helps keep cargo secure and dry
See all of the ways Cadillac Escalade EXT is setting the new standard.
