Is a Caddy or a Chevy?
I dont know if this is happening only here but maybe not. I seen a couple of Chevy trucks around here that changed the front end or the back end to a Cadillac front/rear and leave the Cadillac logo on it. So you see a Chevy truck with the Cadillac grill or with the back door bed from a Cadillac truck.. I think its retarded if you cand a Caddy buy one!! Weird I guess

yea sad isn't it. parts are easily interchangeable on the escalade and avalanche. its a cost saving thing for GM.

Those Caddy pickups that you are seeing may be authentic, if they are newer. Cadillac has the Escalade EXT in its lineup now, which is just a Chevy pickup truck with the Caddy front and rear end on it. They came out with it as competition for the Lincoln Blackwood.
