Cadillac Escalade EXT
The Escalade EXT was a truck that was released in the 2000s and although it never sold in very good numbers it did become a pop culture phenomenon. The truck had the bling bling look of the decade that everyone wanted back then. The fact that it could be turned into an SUV or a truck was one of the major selling features and it shared a platform with the Chevy Avalanche. The truck was a noticeable risk for GM as the Escalade SUV was a sales success (via Driving).
The Escalade EXT was not the success story that GM had hoped for but it was a unique offering in the marketplace. The power and luxury of the Escalade are what made it an exceptional choice and a rather unique truck for the period. It’s too bad that the EXT couldn’t hang on because it was a pretty unique ride. Trucks have changed a lot over the years and the EXT was the type of leather-wrapped beast that influenced the trucks of today.
