Two rows of seats accommodate five occupants. Second-row seats fold forward to allow 54.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Folding the midgate creates an expanded, continuous load floor for the bed, but there is no additional partition between front-seat occupants and their cargo — or the weather, for that matter.

The Escalade EXT offers the same standard luxury equipment as other 2007 Escalades: leather, power front seats, automatic climate control and the like. Options include a heated steering wheel, a navigation system and air-conditioned seats.
