What Can Cadillacs Do? - Towing

Cadillacs are stylish and luxurious automobiles and SUVs. In addition to this, they have to -do- things that people ask of their vehicles.

Today as part of our series ‘What Can Cadillacs Do?’ we are looking at the towing ratings of each of the current models.

Cadillac’s sedans, even in their non-performance trims are not rated for towing at all. The XT series of crossovers as well as the electric LYRIQ have decent tow ratings. But, for any serious towing, the body-on-frame Escalades are the vehicles of choice.

See the current tow ratings of all the Cadillac models (as of fall 2022) below.
