The Mark LT is a luxury pickup truck that is manufactured by the Lincoln division of American automaker Ford Motor Company. It first went on sale in January 2005 for the 2006 model year. The Mark LT is a successor to the failed 2002-only Lincoln Blackwood, Lincoln's only other pickup truck, which was only a rear-wheel drive vehicle. The Mark LT is built at Ford's River Rouge Plant in Dearborn, Michigan (a plant that used to build the Ford Mustang). The Mark LT also has optional all-wheel drive.
The Mark LT is priced at US$43,495 and the company hopes to sell 13,000 annually in the United States. This price is significantly lower than its main competitor, the Cadillac Escalade EXT. The Mark LT has been 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 Mark LT, right from its launch, has outsold the Escalade EXT by at least two-to-one, but the 2007 EXT has gained on the Mark LT consistently, passing it by a slight margin in the months of March and May 2007, although still lagging in year-to-date sales.
The Mark LT is based on the Ford F-150 pickup truck. It uses the same 5.4 L Triton V8 and has four doors. Traction control is available for 2006 Lincoln Mark LTs. The 2006 Lincoln Mark LT still uses a 4-speed automatic transmission just like the 2006 Ford F-150s.
