Here's Cadillac's most recent entry into the large truck/small planet category of vehicles:

http://www.caranddriver.com/xp/Caranddriver/roadtests/2002/march/200203_roadtest_caddy_escaladeext.xml?&page=1

It weighs 5900 pounds, has a 354 hp engine, and costs @ $49,990. Article doesn't mention MPG.

"Cadillac's brand manager says, 'Cadillac research showed that there was a real need for the EXT.' A real need for a Cadillac pickup? Really? If so, then here are a few things that I really need: An air-conditioned front yard. Iguana-skin patio furniture. Stigmata. Mint-flavored Drano. Gold-plated roof gutters. A 190-hp MerCruiser SaladShooter."
