TO THE POINT Selling Points: Real pickup bed, real towing and hauling capability, available four-wheel-drive, ultra-luxe interior
Deal Breakers: No expanding mid-gate like Escalade EXT, looks plenty like a Ford F-150
Our Advice: Forget the Blackwood. Lincoln’s first real truck is the 2006 Mark LT.
MEET THE COMPETITION Cadillac Escalade EXT
GMC Sierra Denali

Overview The Lincoln Mark LT lineup is simple and straightforward. All Mark LTs are four-door crew cabs, with a short cargo box in back. There is just one powertrain: a 5.4 liter V8, coupled to a four-speed automatic transmission.

The Blackwood was based on the old Ford F-150 chassis and was only available with career-limiting two-wheel drive. Likewise, the 2006 Lincoln Mark LT rolls on the Ford F-150 chassis, but instead the newest version of those underpinnings is employed. Plus, it’s available with either two- or four-wheel drive, greatly expanding its appeal. The F-150 is a solid platform from which to build the new Lincoln. Ford’s truck know-how gave Lincoln a leg up in developing a luxury ride with a lunch pail work ethic.

Compared to the long menu of many mainstream trucks, the Lincoln Mark LT lineup is simple and straightforward. All Mark LTs are four-door crew cabs, with a short cargo box in back. There is just one powertrain: a 5.4-liter V8, coupled to a four-speed automatic transmission.
