Rivian R1T Electrick Pickup Truck Pictures

It’s no secret that the Lincoln pickup truck is not as popular as the other automakers’ lineups. Since Lincoln is more recognized for its crossovers, it creates more crossovers than other vehicles. Lincoln also has its world-class flagship sedan, the brand new Continental. Then, how is about a pickup truck?

Lincoln has attempted to offer a luxury pickup truck in 2001. The automaker dressed the popular Ford F-150 to the nines and named it the 2002 Lincoln Blackwood. This vehicle was only available in rear-wheel drive with a black interior and exterior. The cargo bed of this truck was all carpeted.

Unfortunately, the 2002 Blackwood was a flop since Cadillac responded to the Escalade EXT. This is a more inexpensive and practical option than the Blackwood. The style was considered more aggressive, and it also comes with a four-wheel drive. And the Blackwood became a Lincoln vehicle that had the shortest production run.

Lincoln Mark LT Overview

After getting lousy results for its Blackwood, Lincoln offered Mark LT another pickup truck. This car was introduced as a 2005 Lincoln Mark LT, and the model has been discontinued as well. Mark LT was discontinued in 2008 in the United States and Canada. But, it was able to survive until 2014 in Mexico.

Mark LT was a luxury pickup truck that had avoided many mistakes found in the Blackwood. It offered more options and was a more functional pickup truck than before. But, it was still not different enough from the F-150, making it hard to shine. Lincoln Mark LT itself is a crew cab with pretty good performance.

Under the hood, this Lincoln pickup truck is powered by a 5.4L Triton V8 engine. It produces 300 horsepower, delivered to the wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. Inside, we cannot deny that the car offers many luxury features. You can also find a rearview camera backup system provided.

The Mark LT received additional color options for its last model, including Light French Silk clearcoat metallic. Unfortunately, the new LT didn’t go well in the US market. As a result, it was retired after three years. Nowadays, the price of this car has dropped.

Current Lincoln Pickup Truck and It’s Future

Since another failure of the Mark LT, Lincoln hasn’t introduced a new pickup truck. Instead, Ford comes with a new F-150 Platinum and Limited. The used versions of the previous Mark LT are still available on the market. The current price of the 2008 Mark LT is between $4,261 and $22,969.

On the other hand, the 2007 model year is now priced between $7,492 and $19,200. If you are interested in Lincoln truck, the used version of Mark LT can be a great choice. It gains good reviews as well. So, you can count on the Mark LT.

Is Lincoln bringing back the Mark LT?

So far, I don’t think Lincoln will ever bring a pickup truck. There will be no successor to the Mark LT or Blackwood. The brand will focus on its SUV.

Lincoln SUV sales are on the growth, with the brand adding 1.5 percent in retail market share to over 7% of the luxury SUV sector in the second quarter of 2020.

However, it would be great if Lincoln hit the high-end truck market, perhaps with an Electric Pickup truck. It doesn’t seem that hard for them to make that happen. They have everything going for it.

Electric Lincoln Mark LT Truck is Possible

As the parent company of Lincoln, Ford is committed to making 100% electric vehicles by 2030. As a premium division of ford, lincoln itself currently does not have an electric lineup. A rumor is circulating that Lincoln is preparing a New Lincoln Mark E, an electric SUV based on the Rivian R1S.

If I may speculate, it’s very likely that Lincoln will build a luxury truck based on the Rivian R1T. When that happens, it will be interesting to see a high-end truck from Lincoln once again. When did it happen? It would be wise to only occur in 5-7 years.

Verdict

So, will the existence of the 2022 Lincoln Pickup Truck be realized? Well, we can’t guarantee that. Seeing the very tight Truck market, Lincoln might still not be playing in that segment. However, the automaker may come up with a brand new pickup truck in the future. So, let’s wait for the next update. That’s everything you need to know about the Lincoln pickup trucks.
