This means luxury inside and out, with the amenities and attention to detail that we have come to expect in a Cadillac. While drivers and passengers enjoy a comfortable, spacious interior and state of the art technology, they can enjoy the muscle and pulling power of a truck. The Escalade is a very luxurious way to tow a boat or a small camper.
