Mark LT
While Lincoln's first pickup, the oddly styled Blackwood lasted for only a single model year for lack of buyer interest, the new-for-2006 Mark LT seems to be a much-more mainstream vehicle. A full-sized four-door luxury pickup that offers a large and roomy cabin, plenty of features, and a useful 5.5-foot cargo bed, it's based on the powerful and capable Ford F-150. As such it should appeal to those who use a pickup to tow a boat or horse trailer recreationally, don't want to mess up the interior of an SUV with their recreational gear, and want to ride in style in the process. Lincoln-specific styling cues include a wide waterfall front grille, lots of chrome trim, and bold 18-inch chrome wheels. Under the hood is the F-150's 5.4-liter Triton V-8 engine with electronic throttle control, which generates 300 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque, enabling the truck to tow up to 8900 pounds. A four-speed automatic transmission is the only available gearbox. The Mark LT's suspension has been softened up a bit to help provide a smoother ride in both rear- and four-wheel drive versions. Four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution are standard. The truck's interior is trimmed with Ebony wood accents and sports heated Nudo leather seats.
