I've been searching for something a little more comfortable than my Silverado (I've got a bad back), and I decided to take the EXT Caddy for a spin--you know, the one that looks like the Avalanche.
My impression of it is....I like the exterior looks, though it seems like everyone here in Miami puts 24" wheels on them which isn't quite my style (guess I'm getting old). The interior felt like a luxurious Silverado. Same basic dash layout, similiar center console,etc....but it did have some nice goodies like the nav system, sunroof, parking assist, adjustable pedals, and comfy heated seats.
Driving it around, it felt very isolated from the road. None of the harshness of my extended cab over bumps and the engine was extremely quiet. It had the 6.0L 345hp---which felt barely adequate for the heft of the truck. Certainly doesn't snap your head back like even my little 4.8 does in my truck. I give the ride a 10, but the fun factor a 2.
Anyways, for $56,000 I think I'm just gonna keep my paid for 99 Silverado for a while!
