Feds Bulk-Order 250 Cadillac Escalades So the Secret Service Can Ride in Style
Trump said the order would equip the presidential motorcade with 250 Cadillac Escalades, a purchase he linked to General Motors workers and U.S. automakers.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump told a crowd in Milford, Michigan, that his administration ordered 250 Cadillac Escalades for the presidential motorcade, saying, "We look sharp in those Escalades."
- General Motors has historically supplied vehicles to the White House, including the custom-built presidential limousine known as "The Beast," which the company designed to U.S. Secret Service standards.
- While terms remain undisclosed, 250 entry-level Escalades at the $91,100 retail price would total nearly $23 million; armored versions, if ordered, would significantly increase that investment.
- The Trump administration has not confirmed the purchase, and a General Motors spokesperson declined to comment, leaving the transaction's accuracy and vehicle specifications unverified by independent media.
- It remains unclear if the order involves standard luxury SUVs or custom-armored vehicles; previous USSS concepts suggested a heavy-duty chassis Escalade for presidential protection duties.
