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.

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. Photos: © Dan Lyons 2005
