Escalade's high-output 345-horsepower V8 engine is truly powerful. It features a short-stroke crank and lightweight aluminum cylinder heads with a muscle-car-strong 10:1 compression ratio. Escalade's engine delivers 345 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 380 ft-lbs of torque at 4,000 rpm. What does all this mean? That no other SUV in the world packs as much power as the Escalade. So press the pedal and feel for yourself.
Escalade with all-wheel drive is engineered to tow up to 8,200 lbs.* To help handle the demands of towing, Escalade comes with a heavy-duty transmission, four-wheel anti-lock brakes, a large fuel tank, and large-diameter front stabilizer bar. To help reduce the heat that trailering can generate, there are special transmission oil and engine oil coolers and gauges to monitor both. Escalade's standard trailering package includes a Class IV trailering hitch platform, a seven-pin connector,
and an electric brake harness.
Maximum trailer ratings are calculated assuming a standard-equipped base vehicle plus driver. The weight of optional equipment, passengers, and cargo will reduce the maximum trailer weight your vehicle can tow. See your Cadillac dealer for additional details.
