The Cadillac Escalade is a big, bold luxury SUV that offers room for everything you need. Just how much can it carry though? Cavender Cadillac of Lubbock finds out. We took a closer look at the Cadillac Escalade towing capacity, so drivers in Lubbock, Amarillo, and Midland, TX, will know what it's capable of.
Cadillac Escalade Towing Specs
The Cadillac Escalade can tow up to 7,800 pounds. That's enough to haul everything from a few ATVs to a camper or livestock. To deliver that kind of capability, it runs on a 3.0L Duramax® turbo diesel engine that gets up to 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.
A more traditional 6.2L gas-powered V8 engine is also available. It features Variable Valve Timing and delivers an impressive 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. With that high-powered performance, you'll be able to tow up to 7,700 pounds.
No matter which powertrain you've got under the hood, a 10-speed automatic transmission comes standard. Rear-wheel drive is also standard on the Escalade, but 4-wheel drive is available.
Trailering Features
In addition to all that power and its heavy-duty trailering equipment, the Cadillac Escalade also offers tons of technology that'll make towing easier for you. It starts by helping you line up with your trailer.
Just put your SUV in reverse and the dashboard monitor will switch to a live look at what the HD Rear Vision Camera sees behind you. The display even includes trailering assist guidelines, so you can line your tow hitch up perfectly. The Escalade offers all sorts of visibility, even when your trailer is attached. You can get a bird's eye view of your SUV and the tow hitch using the HD Surround Vision system.
Once you're on the road, the tow/haul mode selector can help you haul that extra weight. It's also easy to maneuver and change lanes when you've got your trailer attached. Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert lets you know when the coast is clear, while the Rear Cross Traffic Alert lets you know if there are any cars headed your way when you're backing your trailer up.
Cargo Capabilities
The Cadillac Escalade can also carry everything that doesn't require a trailer. It features a large trunk, folding seats in both the second and third rows, and a Hands-Free Power Liftgate that'll help you pack up when you've got your hands full. You can also add a roof rack with cross bars and tie things to the roof.
While the Cadillac Escalade offers tons of cargo room, it's also available with an extended trunk. The Cadillac Escalade ESV is an even larger option that bumps up both your trunk space and total cargo room. Both options have more than enough room for bags, boxes, and even big pieces of furniture.
