2026 Cadillac Escalade Towing Capacity
The luxury 2026 Cadillac Escalade is not all about big and bold styling and sumptuously appointed interiors.
The latest Escalade also offers seriously powerful performance, which translates into a highly capable passenger and cargo hauler, along with a healthy dose of towing capabilities thrown into the mix.
Read on, as we share more about the 2026 Cadillac Escalade towing capacity.
How Much Can a 2026 Cadillac Escalade Tow?
Thanks to its powerful 6.2-liter gasoline V8 engine producing 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, the 2026 Cadillac Escalade towing capacity is 8,100 pounds when fitted with the RWD drivetrain.
2026 Cadillac Escalade Payload Capacity
The 2026 Cadillac Escalade has a maximum payload capacity of up to 2,017 pounds.
This payload capacity should also take into account the weight of all passengers when loading up your Escalade, especially if all seven seats are going to be occupied.
Cargo and Storage Volume
The 2026 Cadillac Escalade offers generous cargo and passenger space storage volumes.
The primary cargo volume behind the Escalade's third row of seats measures 25.5 cubic feet.
Both rear seats can be folded down to expand the cargo volume. Folding down the third-row seat, available as a power 60/40 split-folding third-row bench seat on select trim levels, will create a space measuring 72.9 cubic feet.
With both rear seat rows folded down flat, the cargo area expands to a whopping load capacity of 120.5 cubic feet.
Helping to make loading in the trunk easier is the standard fitment of an AutoSense power liftgate that automatically opens when the system senses the key fob at the rear of the vehicle.
The AutoSense power liftgate includes a memory height function that allows owners to program how high the gate opens.
The Escalade lineup also offers standard roof rails that will accommodate the available Cadillac black roof rack cross rails to add further storage convenience on the outside.
Tips for Safe Towing
Abiding by the 2026 Cadillac Escalade towing capacity is a key part of a safe towing experience.
Here are some additional towing tips that drivers should remember:
- Always check the trailer hitch to ensure that it is securely attached before departing.
- Remain within the safe prescribed limits of the total trailer weight, gross combination weight rating, gross axle weight rating, trailer load, and the trailer tongue load of the vehicle and trailer equipment.
- Distribute cargo evenly to prevent excessive weight from being put on the tow hitch.
Can a 2026 Cadillac Escalade Pull an RV?
Yes, a 2026 Cadillac Escalade is able to pull an RV.
With its maximum towing capacity of up to 8,100 pounds when properly equipped, the 2026 Escalade has more than enough grunt to get the job done.
