2006 Lincoln Mark LT Review
Luxurious F-150.
2006 Mark LT Review Summary & Specifications
The 2006 Lincoln Mark LT is a worthy successor to the ill-fated Lincoln Blackwood. One might even argue, it's what the original Blackwood should have been. There's no denying its F-150 origins, but Lincoln has done a quality job in endowing the Mark LT with enough creature comfort to earn it a place on any dealer's showroom floor.New Car Test Drive correspondent Tom Lankard filed this report from Carmichael, California.
