President Donald Trump recently announced to a crowd at a General Motors testing facility in Detroit that the White House has ordered 250 Cadillac Escalades for his presidential motorcade.
During his speech, Trump said, “The one and only Escalade. You know we ordered, I think, 250 Escalades, right? We ordered 250 Escalades…. We look sharp in those Escalades.”
The 2026 Escalade has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price starting in the low $90,000’s, though upgrades will put the high- performance V-series into the $170,000 range.
“Our guys are very spoiled,” said Trump. “They’re very spoiled. They like the Escalade. So do I.” Cadillac, which has been the preferred brand of many presidential administrations, also produces Trump’s presidential limousine.
General Motors, based in Detroit, recently reported stronger- than- expected second-quarter results despite a 31% net drop in income, citing strong American support for the company’s pickups and SUVs.
