There's something I like about the Lincoln Mark LT. Why did Ford ever badge an F-150 as a Lincoln (twice)? Didn't they learn their lesson with the Blackwood? Who thought this was a good idea? But unlike the Blackwood, the LT is actually functional as a truck (bye-bye carpeted bed). If I were actually going to buy a truck, I'd be so tempted to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . At 96K miles, she's barely broken in.

Look at those seats! Cozy.

I'm not sure why Ford get's criticized for it. GM has done it for years with the Silverado and Sierra...

Used it makes total sense. Why not get a luxotruck for a better price then a fully equipped f150 from the same vintage.

I'm not a truck guy, but I like that one....Just wondering if anyone else has witnessed the miracle that is this trucks interior...A white interior on a *truck* .... and it's still white. That's right up there with the Jesus face in toast, I tell you!

Boss has had one since new, and the new Thunderbird. The LT will probably be for sale soon. One of the best cared for vehicles I've ever seen.

Never could figure why a truck buyer would pay the premium for a Lincoln grille and badge. And, can't figure why you put a crew cab on a standard length chassis. Why buy a truck if you can't put a sheet of plywood in it? Crazy me, I guess. They sell a bunch of them.

Actually, it sold pretty poorly and was canceled in 2008 after just four years in the market.

I meant that cab/bed configuration. I have 2 friends with that config. They usually ask me to "help" them get big stuff home.

Sort of. They didn't actually cancel the truck or change the trim line, it just moved back to Ford as the "platinum" trim and they ditched the Lincoln grill. The Platinum is still sold as a Lincoln in Mexico.

Why wouldn't you like it? It's a nice, high end interior on what's a perfectly good truck. It isn't like the Blackwood where that bizzarre carpeted bed setup with hard tonneau cover and split tailgate took a huge chunk out of the utility of the vehicle, this one is just a simple pickup truck outside of the cab.
