2009 Cadillac Escalade EXT

The 2009 Cadillac Escalade EXT stands in a category of its own, and this particular example checks all the right boxes for someone who wants genuine V8 muscle, luxury-sedan comfort, and real pickup-truck versatility in one vehicle. Showing only 70,045 miles since new, it is finished in a beautiful Black Raven exterior over an ebony leather interior with rich wood grain accents, and it comes with a CLEAN CARFAX, having resided in Florida since new and showing just one owner. For buyers who appreciate a full-size luxury truck that looks commanding on the road yet feels refined behind the wheel, this Escalade EXT delivers exactly that formula.

Model year 2009 is a desirable point in the Escalade EXTs production, as Cadillac refined the platform with meaningful upgrades. For 2009, the Escalade EXT received updates that improved driver comfort and usability, including a power tilt steering wheel and other enhancements that contribute to a more modern and intuitive driving experience. These refinements help distinguish the 2009 model from earlier examples while preserving the unmistakable personality that has made the Escalade EXT one of the most distinctive luxury trucks ever produced.
At the heart of this Escalade EXT is the legendary 6.2-liter all-aluminum V8 engine, a powerplant celebrated among truck and SUV enthusiasts for its smoothness, authority, and effortless strength. Producing 403 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque, it works through a six-speed automatic transmission with a dedicated tow/haul mode. At idle, the V8 has a confident, assertive note, and under full acceleration it produces the commanding roar expected of a flagship Cadillac truck. The fully boxed frame, wide tracks, capable suspension design, and improved rack-and-pinion steering allow the Escalade EXT to drive more like a very large luxury car than a traditional pickup. Braking and steering feel benefitted significantly from Cadillacs refinements, creating a composed and predictable driving experience.

Inside, the Escalade EXT delivers the luxurious environment that made the model a benchmark in its class. The ebony leather seats complement the wood grain accents and upscale textures throughout the cabin. The dash is set low and forward to provide an airy sense of space, while the gauge cluster features clean, legible round instruments and elegant Cadillac detailing. Up front, power-adjustable heated and ventilated seats provide enhanced comfort across seasons, supported by dual climate controls that allow driver and passenger to tailor their individual temperature preferences. A heated steering wheel adds comfort and convenience for cooler weather, and the power sunroof introduces natural light and airflow into the cabin.

Technology and everyday usability are further elevated by the upgraded infotainment screen with AM/FM radio, Bluetooth, navigation, and a backup camera, which brings valuable modern functionality to the cabin. The system integrates seamlessly with the rear parking sensors, offering both visual and audible assistance when maneuvering in tighter spacesan important advantage in a vehicle of this size. Bluetooth capability enables hands-free phone use, the navigation system provides clear routing, and the backup camera enhances rear visibility, creating a refined and intuitive user experience.

The Escalade EXTs defining feature remains its remarkable versatility, made possible by Cadillacs innovative midgate system. This allows the vehicle to convert from a spacious five-passenger luxury SUV-style layout into a long-bed pickup capable of carrying substantially larger cargo. By folding the rear seats and lowering the midgate, the bed extends forward into the cabin to create an approximately eight-foot-long load floor. This particular example also includes all three bed covers, enabling secure cargo storage when needed while maintaining open-bed flexibility when desired. Complementing this
