Lincoln
Blackwood

Why it matters

The Blackwood was Lincoln's attempt at a luxury full-size pickup, following the Navigator's success. It sold far below Ford's projection and was dropped after the 2002 model year, so it is remembered as an early luxury-truck experiment.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Ford extended the Lincoln treatment to the F-150 after the Navigator's success, at a time of cheap fuel and popular large SUVs. The Blackwood had only a short 56-inch cargo bed with split barn doors and a permanent power tonneau, seated four and offered about 27 cubic feet of cargo space, and it was rear-wheel drive only.

Standard equipment was extensive, the price was $52,500 and the only option was a $1,995 navigation system. Against projections of 18,000 a year, fewer than 3,400 were sold and the model was discontinued during its first model year, 2002. Lincoln later offered the Mark LT pickup in 2005-2008.
