Cadillac Escalade EXT 2025: The return of the premium pickup with luxurious design and powerful engine

We can’t really say that the Cadillac Escalade EXT was a popular pickup truck. However, low sales are the reason for the price reduction in 2013. However, the new Cadillac Escalade EXT is almost ready to go. This time, the comeback will deliver something completely new and hopefully GM will not fail. As the name suggests, EXT stands for an extended pickup truck based on the Escalade SUV.

Thanks to this, the new pickup will borrow many cues and features from its SUV brother. The upcoming model will once again try to dominate the premium segment. Also, expect great performance, lots of luxury and customization. According to the latest information, it is very likely that Escalade EXT will take place later this year.

Premium exterior design

As most of us expected, the Cadillac Escalade EXT will be a brand new pickup truck. That said, you shouldn’t expect many things that were available in the last 2013 model. First of all, Escalade EXT will wear a premium exterior design with plenty of luxury. This includes body-colored parts, wheels, and more. The goal is to deliver a stylish pickup truck that can compete with Ford and Ram trim levels.

Still, this model will arrive with a rugged appearance in some ways. The front fascia offers an impressive grille with modern LED headlights and impressive layout. The back of the pickup also features LED taillights. Expect lots of chrome accents and similar premium products. Finally, Escalade EXT will arrive with amazing 20-inch wheels.

If you want to compete with the best, you simply have to deliver something unique. The new Cadillac Escalade EXT will try to replicate the interior of the Escalade SUV. It’s far from unique, but GM will also deliver a lot of new stuff. First of all, Escalade EXT will come with larger standard and optional displays.

Thanks to this, a 12.3-inch touchscreen will be on offer, most likely in the base variant. Also expect leather upholstery, Wi-Fi charging and a premium sound system. Without a doubt, the cabin offers a high level of luxury and a high level of comfort. We are still waiting to see the list of standard equipment and which of the latest safety aids will make the offer.

Motor

This is the most interesting part. To be honest, no one knows what engine GM will supply. The upcoming Cadillac Escalade EXT pickup will most likely borrow powertrains from Silverado and Sierra models. A 6.2-liter V8 is very certain for the optional engine, producing 420 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque. What about the standard engine choice?

Escalade EXT will certainly arrive with a smaller displacement, possibly a 4.2-liter V8. Another possibility is a 3.0-liter turbodiesel with 277 hp. A 10-speed automatic transmission is the most likely transmission option, and all-wheel drive is optional on this pickup.
