"It will a go anywhere, carry just about anything and fit in just about any garage," commented Hazel. "So who will buy a luxury vehicle that can work as hard as this? People who own land, have big toys, and know how to work, travel, and play in style."

And what about traditional Lincoln luxury? The LT prototype lavishly uses light color, anti-scratch premium leather on the headliner, steering wheel, seats, center console and door panel, while the flooring has plush sheepskin mats.
Textured aluminum accents divide the door panels and surround the climate control and audio controls on the center stack. Plus, to compliment the metal inside, the Mark LT uses Spinell, a highly translucent material as an accent material, to create a dark chrome-colored effect on the air vents, door handles, base of the floor-mounted shifter, the seat controls, and the Lincoln stars.

"White instrument lighting and classy detailing are everywhere you look inside," said Hazel. The instrument panel gauges are black with white lighting and white numerals.
The front and rear seats use a French styled quilted pattern insert for the cushions and the head restraints, helping the passengers to feel like they are sitting in a comfortable chair rather than a truck.
But despite its many attributes Ford doesn't expect F-150 sales volumes, with a forecast of about 15,000 or so Mark LT's annually, O'Connor said.
