What is the 2021 Escalade towing capacity?
I’m a Cadillac fanatic! Though I’ve always owned a sedan, I’m looking at the 2021 Escalade for some extra power to tow a boat I recently bought. How much can the 2021 Escalade tow?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
The 2021
Escalade
has a towing capacity of 7,500 pounds standard, which is more than enough to tow most speed boats or pontoon boats. This comes courtesy of a 6.2-liter V-8 that delivers **420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.However, you should look up the weight of your boat to see if you need a bit more power. If your boat is a bit heavier, which is highly unlikely, you can still opt for the optional 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6. This engine provides 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque to provide 8,000 pounds of towing capacity.
Counterintuitively, the smaller diesel engine provides excess towing power. The reason why the smaller diesel can pull more is because diesel fuel burns more efficiently, providing better towing and even improved gas mileage.
But remember that you can’t get behind the wheel and tow your boat to the lake or ocean without a proper car insurance policy. To find the best rate possible, that’s when
