Lincoln does not build many cars like the Lincoln Mark LT: a 4-door pickup truck with 5.4 , built from 2005 to 2014 in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids.
Where it came from
The Lincoln Mark LT is a luxury full-size pickup truck manufactured and marketed by Ford's Lincoln division for model years 2006–2008 (U.S. and Canada) and 2006–2014 (Mexico) as a badge engineered, luxury-trimmed variant of the Ford F-150 truck — and a successor to the 2002-only Lincoln Blackwood. The Mark LT was manufactured at Ford's River Rouge Plant in Dearborn, Michigan, and at the Ford Cuautitlan plant in Cuautitlán, Mexico, on the same lines as the closely related Ford F-150, on which it was based. It used the same 330-cubic-inch, 300 hp (224 kW; 304 PS) 5.4 L Triton V8 and has four doors. The Mark LT also had optional all-wheel drive.
Lincoln projected selling 13,000 Mark LT's annually in the United States. The Mark LT was more successful than the Blackwood in its first year of sales with 10,274 sold in the first calendar year of sales (February 2005 through February 2006). The 2006 Mark LT outsold the Cadillac Escalade EXT, but the 2007 EXT gained on the Mark LT's sales consistently. After disappointing sales, the Mark LT was cancelled in the United States and Canada after the first generation. A second generation was marketed in Mexico where it was often the Lincoln Division's best selling model.
Under the skin
Under the skin sits 5.4 . The gearbox is a 4-speed 4R75E automatic. The wheelbase is 139 in / 151 in (long bed). These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Where it sits in Lincoln's history is not in doubt: the Lincoln Blackwood came before it; the Ford F-150 Platinum (U.S. and Canada) / Ford Lobo Platinum (Mexico) followed it; it was built at Dearborn, Michigan. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Kia Sportage, the Bugatti Veyron, the Aston Martin Vantage. Nearby in the Lincoln catalogue sit the Lincoln First Call and the Lincoln Funeral Car.
