A Quick Review of the Lincoln Mark LT

We love pickup trucks, and the luxury add-ons only make us want them more, and Lincoln’s Mark LT is the perfect example. The Mark LT has a spacious cabin, striking design, and smooth handling. Appealing taillights, a big waterfall grille, flashy wheels, and added chrome trim give it a standout differentiation. Overall, the vehicle offers excellent luxury for the price you pay.

Check out all there is to know about the Lincoln Mark LT.   

Lincoln Mark LT

This luxury pickup truck succeeded the Lincoln Blackwood. Since 2002, the Blackwood did not do very well;   the manufacturers were cautious with Lincoln Mark LT and wanted to do everything to improve on past failures. In many respects, Mark LT rebranded Ford F-150. It had a luxury trim as it was built on the Ford plants in Cuautitlán, Michigan, and Dearborn, just like Ford F-150. 

Both Ford F-150 and Mark LT have identical V8 engines. They also have four-door trucks and an optional all-wheel drive. Further, these trucks guarantee a quiet and comfortable ride, irrespective of the burbling V8 under the hood. Although we expected a little more on the braking, the Mark LT handles well. 

Performance
Lincoln Mark LT comes powered by the V8, a 5.4-liter engine that yields 365 pound-feet of torque and 300 horsepower, matched to a 4-speed automatic transmission. Although its power delivery feels smooth, its Ford-sourced engine is noisy. Further, the vehicle has just four widely spaced gears to work with. It goes to 60 mph in 9.6 seconds, about 3 seconds slower than Escalade EXT. It may not be quick, but the vehicle has adequate torque to cater to the towing jobs effortlessly, courtesy of its 8,900 pounds towing capacity. 

Safety
Lincoln Mark LT scored well in the crash test but did not have the pivotal safety equipment. Regardless, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave it a top score for frontal impact. Sadly, there has been no test on the vehicle by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, but it lauds the car with a Good rating in the frontal-offset crash testing. It has a front-passenger sensing system and dual front airbags deployed at various levels. But, it does not have side airbags, which significantly drops its safety rating. Its windows are generous, the mirrors are well-placed, and the antilock disc brakes come standard. 

Driving
You are guaranteed a remarkably refined and cozy ride with Lincoln Mark LT. Negotiating the mall parking is easy, courtesy of its well-weighted and quiet steering. The vehicle feels effortless while riding on the highway. However, in its attempt to feel delicate, every control feels guarded against the road. Lincoln could work a little on its brake pedal by giving it a more positive and firmer feel.  

Interior

 

Lincoln Mark LT has accommodating and wide seats, and its interior looks nothing less than that of a luxury car. The vehicle has contrasting piping around the seats, adding to the cabin’s elegance. Its chrome drive and top-grade upholstery only make it plusher. It is indeed as good as it looks, but we cannot disregard that Mark’s humble origins are hard to conceal. Lastly, the Lincoln symbols and the fancy seats assure the comfort and convenience you deserve. 

 

Price
Typically, the cost you bear to bring home Lincoln Mark LT depends on its condition, mileage, and age. But the prices will range between $1,918 and $21,498. If you opt for the new model, the fair market price is approximately $12,300. Upon release, manufacturer’s marked its retail price as $38,616, but the average retail price in between $9200 and $10800 for the 2008 model, $7,600 and $ $8,650 for 2007 model, and $$6,250 and $ $7,325 for 2006 model.
