2008 Lincoln Mark Lt in Plymouth, MI - $0

The Lincoln Mark LT combines the functionality of a full-size pickup truck with the elegance and refinement of a luxury sedan. The Mark LT is based on the sophisticated Ford F-150 pickup chassis and available in two or shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive configurations.

The Mark LT adds SIRIUS satellite radio as standard equipment for the 2008 model year. In addition, a new available Rearview Camera System provides enhanced visibility at the rear of the cargo box.

Power for the Lincoln truck is generated by a 5.4L Triton V8 engine joined to a 4R75E four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. In addition to the standard 5.5 foot cargo box, a longer 6.5-foot cargo box is an available option. The long cargo box version rides on a longer wheelbase, with a longer overall length. The increase in cargo bed length adds 10 cubic feet of cargo capacity.

On the road, the Mark LT is responsive and driver friendly with impeccable road manners. The Lincoln pickup is built on a stable hydroformed frame that forms a closed "box" section as opposed to the traditional "C" frame rail design. The result is increased stiffness and a stronger foundation for body and suspension components for above average handling and a quiet, composed ride.

Suspension hardware for the Lincoln Mark LT consists of coil-on-shock, long-spindle double wishbone with a cast aluminum lower control arm in front and a traditional Hotchkiss-type, non-independent live setup at the rear. The rear suspension also includes wide three-inch leaf springs and outboard shock absorbers for maximum benefit in directional control, wheel travel and ground clearance.

Inside the cabin, Lincoln engineers paid close attention to the needs, wants and desires of the luxury truck audience. The passenger compartment is roomy, with plenty of room for driver and passengers front and rear. Oversized cupholders in the center console hold large cups. Two dash mounted power points support small electrical appliances such as laptop computers and cell phones. A power point located at the rear of the center console makes power available to rear seat passengers. Cavernous storage in the center console is designed to hold a great quantity of items.

The Mark LT also features comfortable armrests front and rear for added comfort and convenience. The rear seat is a 60/40 split that features a seat cushion that folds up and out of the way -- allowing for the ideal combination of passengers and/or secure cargo carrying.
