2026 Cadillac Pickup has just dropped a big surprise with the 2026 Escalade EXT, their new luxury pickup truck. After years of fans asking for it, this beast is here, mixing the fancy style of the Escalade SUV with real truck power. It’s not just any pickup – it’s built for people who want comfort, tech, and muscle all in one.
First Look at the Design
The new Escalade EXT looks bold and classy. Up front, it has that huge Cadillac grille with sharp LED lights that stand out day or night. The body is long and strong, with big wheels – up to 24 inches on top models. The bed is practical but stylish, with options for covers to keep things safe. It’s like the Escalade grew a truck bed and got even tougher.
High-Tech Features
Step inside, and it’s pure luxury. The cabin has soft leather seats, wood trims, and a massive curved screen that stretches across the dash – over 55 inches in some setups. You get Super Cruise for hands-free driving on highways, night vision cameras, and a killer sound system. Massaging seats and four-zone climate control make long trips feel like first class. Plus, there’s augmented reality navigation that shows directions right on the windshield.
Monster Engine and Performance
Under the hood, the star is a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 pumping out around 682 horsepower in the V-Series version. It roars to life and hits 60 mph in under 5 seconds, even with all that size. For regular models, there’s a strong 6.2L V8 with 420 horses. Towing? Expect over 10,000 pounds easy. It’s a monster that handles like a dream thanks to adaptive suspension.
Impressive Mileage
Don’t worry about gas too much. The base V8 gets decent numbers for a big truck – around 15 mpg city and 20 highway. Higher trims with tech tweaks push it better. Rumors say hybrid options could come later for even more efficiency, maybe 25+ mpg combined. For a luxury hauler this powerful, that’s pretty impressive.
Price
Starting price is about $85,000 for the base, climbing to over $110,000 loaded or with the V badge. It’s hitting dealers late 2025, so you can order soon. Top trims add extras like premium paint and performance packs.
