Neither a smashing sales success nor a legend slated for the history books, the Lincoln Mark LT mainly amounted to an upscale and heavily re-trimmed Ford F-150. A successor to the Lincoln Blackwood pickup, the Mark LT aimed to blend Lincoln's celebrated sense of style and luxury with the toughness and capability of a Ford truck.
Launched as a 2006 model, Mark LT is heavily based on its top-selling cousin. It uses the same engine, same body structure and is even built in the same plant. That said, it does amount to more than a simple badge-engineering job by way of several unique features and specialized offerings.
Mark LT is set apart from the standard F150 by its glittering chrome accents, a unique grille and taillamps, and a distinctive interior. Available in medium and short-box configurations, it included standard automatic climate control, cruise, power accessories and leather seating. Look for an upgraded THX audio system, heated leather seats, 20-inch wheels, a rear-sliding glass window, sunroof and keyless entry, too.
Other touches included an auto-dimming rearview mirror, DVD-based navigation, reverse sensors, and wood-grain trim. In a nutshell, Mark LT may be the ultimate pickup truck for luxury sedan enthusiasts.
Polled online, owners say that they love the ride, style and comfort of the Mark LT. Many report being complemented on the look of their truck and gathering stares from passersby. Interior noise levels are held in high regard, as are the plentiful storage spaces and availability of high luxury features. Words like 'smooth', 'refined', and even 'plush' come up frequently. Interior spaciousness and confidence during towing are highly appreciated, too.
As is typical of larger trucks, most owners complain about fuel mileage. Many wish for more power too, and some even say that the Mark LT feels downright sluggish compared to a comparable GM or Dodge- despite the 5.4 litre, 300 horsepower engine.
Some durability issues were noted, mainly concerning the seats and bed-liners. Leather and plastic on these surfaces may be prone to easy scratching, so be sure to inspect their condition thoroughly on a test drive of a used model. You'll also want to note the condition of carpeting and plastic trim, especially around the door openings. Any excessive scratching or damage should be noted and addressed. Check for proper operation of all interior accessories, including the air conditioning and automatic climate control.
