The Wiki on the third generation Cadillac Escalade EXT – a more elegant Avalanche – says it was the General’s answer to the “failed Lincoln Blackwood”, and fails to mention the EXT was not exactly a success. Only 1,972 were sold in its final year – 2013 (there were 52 2014’s sold, making them real unicorns!).
This single owner California truck, though, has only 7,000 miles on it and is really quite nice. Sold for maybe $70,000 when new, so not thrilled with the minimal depreciation – the low mileage I guess keeps the price high. That’s why I threw in the $35,000 model at the bottom of this post. The Mexican-made 2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT had a 403hp 6.2 liter V-8 and a six speed transmission, and Motor Trend gave it fairly high marks for performance in this review.
It also had the “Convert-a-Cab” composite pickup bed that can be expanded into the truck’s cab through a bottom-hinged door – per Wiki. Yes, there are almost 200 of these third-generation EXT’s available on cars.com, but none are even close to this mileage, and one with 16-30,000 miles are selling for more. Not saying it’s a deal, but it’s not crazy if you like these. Find this truck here in Fresno, California.
