Under the Hood

Like the regular all-wheel-drive Escalade and the Escalade ESV, the Escalade EXT uses a 6.0-liter V-8 that produces 345 horsepower and 380 pounds-feet of torque. The engine teams with a four-speed-automatic transmission. Standard features include the StabiliTrak electronic stability system and a Road Sensing Suspension System that adjusts to various road surfaces. An EXT can tow as much as 7,300 pounds.
