large tailgate features a built-in torsion bar that makes both opening and closing it surprisingly easy
Kelley Blue Book

The 2008 Lincoln Mark LT has a long list of standard features and options bundled in packages to dress it up even more.

Available 2008 Lincoln Mark LT trims include the Trailer Package, Technology Package, Deluxe Power Package, and the Elite Package, as well as two Monochrome versions. In addition, the vehicle comes with either two- or four-wheel drive.

Kelley Blue Book reports that with the Lincoln Mark LT's Tailgate Assist, the powered tailgate "features a built-in torsion bar that makes both opening and closing it surprisingly easy." The AM/FM six-CD changer stereo system also has a jack for an MP3 player. The electronic message center keeps the driver apprised of conditions, while the remote keyless entry and integrated garage door opener add convenience. Other standard features as reported by Cars.com include "an auto-dimming driver-side rearview mirror;" Sirius Satellite Radio "comes with a free six-month subscription."

Additional options according to Cars.com include a DVD-based navigation system, while Automobile reports optional all-weather floor mats and chrome running boards.
The Auto Channel notes that Lincoln offers an excellent entertainment system that includes options such as an AM/FM six-disc CD changer and a DVD rear-seat entertainment system; more options include "power adjustable pedals that are necessary for the height-challenged ($120), platform running boards (250), power sliding rear window ($250), trailer tow package ($350), 18-inch chrome clad wheels ($495), chrome box rail bars ($250), and a reverse sensing system that's also necessary."

With the Deluxe Power Package, a moonroof and a power sliding rear window come installed; the rear camera system is only available with the Elite Package.

Those who plan to use the Lincoln Mark LT should be aware of the Class IV Trailer Tow Package; this features a reverse-sensing system to warn the driver of anything that might be lurking back there, as well as a necessary radiator upgrade and transmission cooler.

Conclusion

The 2008 Lincoln Mark LT has lots of luxe features and options, including a special tow package.

Other Choices:

Luxury trucks are available from all the domestic automakers. The GMC Sierra Denali is the most like Lincoln's truck, with a range of bed sizes and engine options at hand, plus high-dollar features such as an optional navigation system. The Dodge Ram is offered in nicer Laramie editions for the 2009 model year. The Cadillac Escalade EXT has a short pickup bed where its SUV cargo bay normally would be, plus a midgate that allows the rear seats to fold flat, giving up their space for a bigger cargo bed.
