Review

I like the fact I can go to a fancy place all dressed up with this car and later throw my kayak in the back and head to the beach. Great for hauling those odd shape items that don't fit in a typical SUV. Crappy gas milage, but you know that going into the deal.

Favorite Features

Exterior design. Very rugged yet refined and the same time. Versatile and easy to move things around.

Suggested Improvements

Need to make the dash better. The plastic does not cut it. A navigation system would be nice. Add a remote system to lock the back gate.

Review

The first time I saw that this car was going to be relesed I wanted to get it. I was looking for a new vehicle to that was functional and also had style. I was trying to chose between a suv or a pickup truck. I wanted something that I could put an atv in and also something that I could take at least five people and go on a long trip and we would all be comfortable. The EXT can do all that and more. When towing in the EXT you forget that the trailer is even their. When I went to the dealer and test drove it I knew I had to have it. The seats are like the recliners I have in my living room.

Favorite Features

Stereo, seats, ride ........ everything

Suggested Improvements

The only thing that i sugjest to Cadillac for next year is to put a screen based navigation system on it along with keeping on star.

All in all I thought it was the best ride I ever experienced. It's spacious and boy does it look great. The price is even negotiable.You can't fell any bumps when you drive over rough roads.

Review

This is hands down the most comfortable four door truck out there, AND is NOTHING like the Chevy Avalanche. 30% of the exterior of the avalanche is unfinished plastic, the suspension is terrible- Very unsteady, tends to bounce quite a lot and side to side rocking motion is nausiating. The Cadillac EXT has completly different ride qualities. Very stiff suspension, excellent stable (not hard) ride. Bumps are completly absorbed by the drivetrain. Virtually no nose dip under hard braking, and not a hint of side to side rocking motion. Good gas mileage, and low noise at high speed- a true cadillac, And a true truck.

Favorite Features

Stability control, All wheel drive, Dual-Zone auto climale control, 6.0-V-8 engine, heated-memory seats, Love the ergonomice, seems no matter how big or small- still get a custom fit.

Suggested Improvements

1)Low range for the transfer case 2)Xenon Headlights 3)Black Interior needs to be an option

Review

Excellent sport truck performance plus the features of a luxury 4 door, though not usually a fan of the traditional American-take on large luxury vehicles; All Wheel Drive that is not available in the 2-wheel drive only Lincoln Blackwood was a big plus. Competitive pricing when you compare it to the Lincoln Blackwood or even the Ford Harley SuperCrew which don't offer the same high level of standard luxury equipment nor the increased true truck versatility like that offered by the EXT.

Favorite Features

Open air targa-like feel with rear window removed and sunroof and windows down. Incredible flexability and versatility in a great looking package.
