Cadillac Escalade EXT reviews

2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT Review Summary

What reviewers liked most about the 2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT:

• Stretching 221.4 inches, the EXT and ESV are two inches longer than a Suburban, placing them among the longest vehicles on the road.- New Car Test Drive

• At first glance, the EXT is unabashedly masculine and hulking.- New Car Test Drive

• Built on the same chassis as the Avalanche, the Escalade EXT has a pickup bed behind the rear seats instead of a cargo area.- AutoWeek

• Towing is rated at 8,000 pounds, which is okay for a small weekend toy. If you need more grunt, the Avalanche has a more powerful version.- Cars.com

• While utility is the hallmark, the Escalade EXT boasts a roomy cabin swathed in leather, wood and high-tech gizmos.- AutoWeek

• Power is supplied by the Vortec 6000, a 6.0-liter 345-horsepower V-8 that's good for 380 pound-feet of torque.- Cars.com
