2009 Cadillac Escalade EXT in Canada - Canadian Prices, Trims, Specs, Photos, Recalls

Buyer’s Guide

NEW FOR 2009:

- 6.2-litre V8 is E85-capable

- Standard power-tilt steering wheel, XM satellite radio with NavTraffic real-time traffic advisement

- Available Side Blind Zone Alert system

For 2009, the Cadillac Escalade EXT's 6.2-litre engine now becomes FlexFuel capable, able to accept E85 ethanol-enhanced fuel. Other changes include a power tilt wheel, NavTraffic updates, and an available Side Blind Zone Alert system, which warns the driver if vehicles or objects are in the rear "blind zones."

Based on the Chevrolet Avalanche, the Escalade EXT uses a 6.2-litre V8 engine with six-speed automatic, shared with the Escalade and Escalade ESV. It features a fully-boxed frame and GM's exclusive "Midgate" panel, which allows it to convert from a five-passenger SUV to a two-passenger pickup, with 2.7 metres (nine feet) of protected, secured storage area. The EXT includes a standard locking tonneau cover, which can be removed entirely for extra storage room.

Standard equipment includes 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, privacy glass, fog lamps, heated mirrors with driver's side auto-dimming, reverse tilt-down, integrated turn signals and puddle lamps, rearview camera, front recovery hooks, roof rack, running boards, rain-sensing wipers, front and rear consoles, cruise control, driver information centre, tire pressure monitoring system, auto-dimming rearview mirror, power tilt leather and wood wheel with audio controls, power windows with front express up/down, ten-way heated leather seats, driver's side memory, 60/40 split-folding heated second-row bench seat, six-CD/DVD stereo, navigation system, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, XM satellite radio, rear-seat audio controls and headphone jacks, auto-levelling rear suspension, trailer tow package, power locks with keyless entry, automatic xenon headlamps, theft deterrent system, rear parking assist, and OnStar with Turn by Turn Navigation feature.

Available options include power-retractable running boards, 22-inch chromed wheels, heated steering wheel, heated and cooled seats, and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system.

The Escalade is over-the-top, but combines the usefulness of Chevrolet's popular Avalanche with plush luxury, including SUV-style ride and handling, comfortable seats and numerous options. The Midgate allows the EXT to be turned into a variety of configurations, but it's a time-consuming job that's easiest when done with two people.

Safety Mfr

On certain vehicles equipped with a Heated Washer Fluid System (HWFS), a short circuit on the printed circuit board for the washer fluid heater may overheat the control-circuit ground wire. A repair was implemented in a recall in 2008, however, there have been new reports of thermal incidents on heated washer fluid system modules after this improvement was installed. This situation may cause some minor distortion, but also could lead to melting of the plastic around the heated washer fluid system, or cause a fire. Correction: Dealers will permanently disable and remove the heated washer fluid module. An updated page will be provided and inserted in the Owner Manual to document the removal of the feature.

Notification Type:

Safety Mfr

On certain vehicles, the fuel system control module may be subject to water intrusion. This could cause a short or open circuit, illumination of the Service Engine Soon lamp, setting diagnostic trouble codes, or the engine may be hard to start, may not start or may stall. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel system control module.
