The premium truck is going to offer stunning features and unique interior and exterior styling. So, what makes the 2019 Cadillac Escalade EXT so different? A luxury. Well, this is, all the same, we can see on other GM trucks. The drivetrain produces 450 lb-ft of torque and adds 250 hp. But, the turbo engine is going to be able to pull close to a 6.2-liter unit. Well, outputs and specs of a 3.0-liter Duramax diesel are not available yet. But, this is a premium pickup and it doesn’t aim for high towing capacity. So, their sibling could get the same unit. The new Silverado and Sierra full-size trucks are getting such drivetrain. It is not impossible to see the 2019 Cadillac Escalade EXT in a diesel variant.

A 6.2-l unit can produce 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque mated to an 8-speed transmission. Well, thanks to its premium equipment, the new EXT will be closer to Denali truck. Higher-output configuration is a 6.2-liter V8, also used by 2019 Cadillac Escalade EXT siblings – Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500. By default, transmission routes power to two wheels. An eight-speed drivetrain is an option, as well as AWD. It comes in pair with a six-speed automatic transmission. With it, the new truck will be able to tow around 7,000 pounds. The first one is capable to produce 380 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. It will be either a 5.3-liter or a 6.2-liter, both V8s.

The new 2019 Cadillac Escalade EXT is not going to get power from a new unit. What is in common for these vehicles? They are using similar drivetrains. Also, the return of this model warms up rumors about the comeback of Chevy Avalanche.īeing based on the Escalade SUV, and also part of the GM truck lineup, leave us some options for speculations. However, Cadillac is ready to take the challenge. The luxury pickup is not going to enter production with a large number of copies since the interest is not so high in premium trucks.

The new pickup truck will be based on the Escalade SUV. Objectively, the 2019 Cadillac Escalade EXT is the closest to do it. Now, there are rumors about all three vehicles and their comebacks. The popularity of sport utility trucks was obvious, and Ford discontinued its Lincoln Mark LT, while GM also left out its Chevy Avalanche in the same year. Back then, the pickup was one of the worst selling vehicles in the US. The last time the truck rolled on streets was in 2013.
