This custom four-wheel-drive 2015 Cadillac Escalade Extended
Stretch Vehicle (ESV) is powered by a 6.2-liter V-8 engine paired
with a six-speed automatic transmission. Converted by renowned
Howard Becker Automotive Design, the Escalade was extended 20
inches, with the rear doors lengthened 10 inches using stamped
aluminum. The roof was raised 5 inches using stamped steel with
cross-rib supports designed to meet or exceed U.S. rollover
crush-resistance standards. Sound-deadening material was added
throughout the rear compartment. It rides on 22-inch black wheels
with Bridgestone tires and is equipped with power side steps. The
private rear cabin is upholstered in European Jet Black and gray
leather with an Italian suede headliner and includes five-passenger
rear seating. Second- and third-row Becker six-way power-reclining
bucket seats feature integrated armrests, three-point seat belts,
extended leg supports, heating and cooling, massage systems and
power lumbar supports. Two full-size rear-facing bucket seats
power-fold to aid entry and exit. Two aviation-style folding
worktables are finished in genuine burl wood veneer. A rear-facing
center console incorporates a drainable ice box, LED-lit glassware
cabinetry, storage and cup holders. Additional consoles use
lightweight composite and furniture-grade cabinet materials and
incorporate armrests, cup holders, storage compartments, 110-volt
outlets and USB-C ports. A power center privacy divider
incorporates a 43-inch LCD monitor, while a Crestron touchscreen
controls the rear audiovisual system, front and rear-view cameras
and Apple TV functions. Mobile-office equipment includes a
military-spec mobile router with roof-mounted antennas. The
electrical system uses a proprietary wire harness and 32-position
power-distribution center with fuse panels and circuit breakers.
The rear cabin received a refresh in 2020 with a new interior and
electronics. Becker's stretched configurations featuring custom
partition walls, 32- to 40-inch LCD screens, and VIP six-way
electric bucket seats typically cost between $380,000 and $450,000
when new. Service performed in July 2024 included a new
air-conditioning compressor, tuneup, fuel-injection service and
throttle-body service. The sale includes a user's guide. 114,437
actual miles. Experian AutoCheck shows accidents reported on
11/03/2016 (moderate damage) and on 07/18/2024 (minor damage).
