At first glance, the EXT is unabashedly masculine and hulking. A wide-slatted front grille and oversized and squared, jeweled headlamps are key elements to its bold-faced look that continues with monochromatic fenders and body moldings, as well as a high ground clearance of nearly a foot and a bed height of 25 inches. Running boards help those more vertically challenged to find their way into the roomy cabin.Despite its aggressive appearance, this SUT is still modern and sleek looking and clearly strikes the pose of a country club pedigree. It's offered in three basic colors - Sable Black, Silver Sand and White Diamond - which adds to its simple, yet powerful, presence.
Not everyone will like its so-called "Art & Science" design, but it certainly makes a strong impression, as does the large revamped Cadillac badge, which sits center-stage on the grille. Like its cousin, the Chevy Avalanche, the EXT spouts dramatic sail panels, or C-pillars, that act as structural supports behind the rear seat and visually link the passenger and cargo area. The rear is stylishly tapered with large lamps, an integrated step-up bumper and a second Caddy badge on the tailgate.
