Comfort

There’s one word that describes the 2006 Lincoln Mark LT’s cabin – spacious. This is a big truck, and with all of that space comes room to stretch out in the oversized seats. Up front are dual buckets with wide bottoms and backs, tall headrests, and power height adjustment. Bolsters are lacking, but they aren’t needed in a cruiser like the Mark LT. The two-setting heated seats work quickly and effectively, the large padded armrests located between the seats and on the door panels offer additional comfort, and the tilt wheel allows for a custom driving position. Curiously, the lumbar support is operated with a manual knob, more than a little out of place in a $43,000 truck.

Rear seat passengers are treated to a big bench seat with tons of foot, leg, and headroom. Outboard adjustable headrests are small for maximizing visibility, yet large enough to be useful. A generous fold-down center armrest is padded and provides welcome relief for weary elbows, as do the rubberized armrests on the door panels. The seat back and bottom are well padded and provide a comfy ride for up to three well-fed occupants. For their convenience, Lincoln designers have included two cupholders on the rear of the front console alongside a swivel air vent and a power outlet. It’s all within easy reach of taller folks, but the stature-challenged will need to scoot up a few inches on the seat to reach their café mocha.
