Interior

Five occupants fit inside the Escalade EXT's cab, which includes a 60/40-split rear bench seat. The midgate extends the bed from 5 feet 3 inches long to 8 feet 1 inch, and it folds into the interior of the cab to create enough space to stow a 4-by-8-foot panel.

Removing the rear window creates more cargo space and allows better air circulation; the window stows onboard. Luxury amenities include a premium version of the OnStar communication system and a seven-speaker Bose sound system with an in-dash six-CD changer.
