Though it’s based on lesser GM models, comparing the 2007 Cadillac Escalade EXT to a Chevy or GMC isn’t fair. Currently, there’s only one real competitor, and that’s the Lincoln Mark LT, which is essentially a rebadged Ford F-150 with some added luxury features that offer a little more sparkle. It may be a small, niche market, but both Ford and GM obviously want to control the luxury pickup segment, and the latest revisions should keep momentum in the Escalade EXT’s favor. The Lincoln, while a significant step above and away from the ill-fated Blackwood, is too similar to the Ford, right down to the headlights. The Caddy, on the other hand, is graced with a unique front end and dash that serve to distinguish from its less expensive family members. Plus, it beats the Lincoln in the power category by 103 ponies.
