2021 Cadillac Escalade Engines

You’ve seen that this massive SUV offers plenty of power, but are Cadillac Escalade SUVs really good for towing, at the end of the day? Make no mistake: the Escalade may offer a smooth, refined, and elevated ride, but it’s an exceptionally hard worker, too!

The proof is in the powertrain:

• Power and Torque: On any trim level, you can choose between a 6.2-liter V8 engine with 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, or a 3.0L Duramax® Turbo Diesel engine with 277 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque.
• Gas or Diesel: Both engines offer the torque you’ll need to get a heavy trailer moving down the roads of Mount Laurel, NJ or South Jersey, NJ. Each also comes paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
• Fuel Economy: It’s worth pointing out that the Duramax® diesel may be preferred by those who need to move long distances. Although its maximum capacities are slightly lower, you can expect better fuel economy.

Keep in mind that while your engine is at the heart of your Escalade SUV’s towing performance, it’s not the only star of the show. The Heavy Duty Trailering Package ensures that you’re ready for anything with the following features:

• Rear Vision Trailer Camera
• Auxiliary Trailer Camera
• Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System
• Trailering Guidelines via your rear camera system
• 4WD models receive a 2-Speed Electronic Transfer Case
