Jack HowardJul 24, 2012 So are we talking about half on vs half ton? Because the trucks are way different than even the SUVs
Caner OzdemirJul 24, 2012 Thats funny because my family owned 2 fords with the same problem and 3 GMs that were perfect, look at the odds...
Danny ReedJul 24, 2012 It's rare that I ever see a "new" model like this. I have to say I'd buy one because it will be worth a fortune soon
Jack HowardJul 22, 2012 Yeah my 12 year old Ford has 205000 miles and my dads 3 year old Chevy has 125000 miles and the tranny is slipping already.
Taylor LittleJul 22, 2012 My family had a Chevy that always broke down, it was a never ending struggle. There will always be cars like that don't judge the brand off one experience. That's ignorant.
Caner OzdemirJul 22, 2012 We got a chevy after that and it still runs great with 100k miles after 10 years with no problems
Caner OzdemirJul 22, 2012 I Hate ford because my family used to own one and it always broke down, even though it got proper mantanance. It once broke down at an intersection as the ford and a semi were turning, the truck ran over the ford and my brother almost died.
Lee GoodmanJul 22, 2012 thats a very good pickup theres alot of space inside too :)
Jack HowardJul 22, 2012 But there is no reason to hate something that didnt do anything to you or has anything wrong with it for that matter. I need reasons for why he said he hated it because my mommy and daddy told me that "hate" is a strong word.
Felix E. RomierJul 22, 2012 @Jake let him have his opinion. If he doesnt like Ford and he likes Chevy, that's just the way he is. Personally I like GMC's and Seat's.
Jack HowardJul 21, 2012 How do you "hate" a good truck? Im a Ford fan and i still respect all of its competitors. They are all good trucks.
Caner OzdemirJul 21, 2012 Ok guys i was kidding about the lift, i just like the body style, i personaly hate fords, i like chevy's. Im not gonna lift a $52,000 truck -.-
Rockesh BoulderJul 21, 2012 Eh, Lincolns to me are for old men, but this is for someone who doesn't know the term "Ford F-150"
Malachi MonteiroJul 21, 2012 Lincoln tries too hard to be bling.
Jack HowardJul 21, 2012 I see no point in getting a super nice truck. The highest trim i would get is a Lariat and whatever the equivalent is to the other trucks. But all you really need is the XLT trim(Ford)
Henz HerreroJul 21, 2012 I jst cant get over the 52000 price tag.. Id get a navi for that price..
Justin BrestJul 21, 2012 O and I would remove the decal on the bed
Justin BrestJul 21, 2012 i think its a nice truck. no, your not going to go mudding or come in first in the small dick contest when it pulls up next to a hic ass diesel but if I was going to be on road for most of the time towing a small boat or trailer I would of considered this... especially for the mark down which made it just about equal to a 150 xlt.
Henz HerreroJul 21, 2012 Haha.. Thats a funny comment.. Why wud u pay premium price for a lincoln if you can get a nice f series truck for a lot lower price..
Caner OzdemirJul 21, 2012 İ think it looks nice, its an american truck, foregien trucks are the misstep. All it needs is a 6 in lift with some 35s
Description: The Blackwood, however, was the only one which failed outright. There is a very good reason for this, but we'll get to that in a bit. Since it was such a spectacular failure, the Blackwood tends ...Add Comments0

Dale SchroederJul 21, 2012 I distinctly remember a Ford PR person writing an angry letter to the Detroit Free Press claiming the Blackwood wasn't a rebodied F-150. The editor's rebuttal was basically "Yeah, you aren't fooling anyone, pal."
Max RoseJul 23, 2012 I like the mazda b series better, idk why, but it seems more unique. And ive owned a b2300, and now i own a ranger.
Paul LissonaJul 21, 2012 We had a Mazda b4000 which was exactly a ranger except for the grill and brake lights etc, but I liked rangers better.
Jack HowardJul 21, 2012 Weve got 205,000 on our 2001 F150 and no problems at all except for changing the spark plugs so id say that the 5.4 is a beast. Its got more torque than my dads 2010 Silverado with the 5.3
Vince DeMasiJul 21, 2012 The Lincoln pick up truck helping America's yuppies since 2001
Taylor GarryJul 21, 2012 I completely forgot about these before the mark lt
Daniel LevyJul 21, 2012 The second generation navigator was really the ugly lincoln, Its just awful
Zachary MaurerJul 21, 2012 I have only seen 2 of these in my life too...
Zachary MaurerJul 21, 2012 The front looks like a mazda b2000 or whatever their rebadged ranger was...another automotive misstep there too!
Tim PreisingerJul 21, 2012 I personally think it looks pretty good
Caner OzdemirJul 21, 2012 The front end actuly looks nice
Boyd BoudreauxJul 21, 2012 That frontend was just awful on a pickup, come to think about it was awful on a suv
Carlos Eduardo GaviriaJul 21, 2012 Lol I remember I wanted one of these when I was in high school. It was actually a nice ride with an exaggerated price tag
Description: Since Lincoln was under no illusion that anyone would so much as attempt to take one of these off-road, some changes were made to the suspension to make the Blackwood more road-friendly. This include...Add Comments0

Dale SchroederJul 21, 2012 Take an entry level vehicle, add a few gimmicks, rebadge it with a luxury marque and jack up the price. Didn't work with the Cimmaron, didn't work with the Maserati/Chrysler TC, didn't work here.
Michael DavidsonJul 21, 2012 Wayyyyyy over priced, and not even that useful.
Boyd BoudreauxJul 21, 2012 That bed would have made a nice little trailer
Description: By 2002, nobody was really expecting an SUV owner to use it for anything utilitarian, and the EXT was obviously much more SUV than pickup. You could install a hot tub in the bed of an EXT and nobody ...Add Comments8
Andrew McNealJul 21, 2012 When I visited NYC I hardly saw any trucks at all, nevermind "country" people. Come to Texas, you'll see fake country people everywhere (and real ones too though)
Malachi MonteiroJul 21, 2012 I like driving the EXT, very good for road trips.
Jack HowardJul 21, 2012 At my high school, 85% of the kids there drive trucks.
Stephen Tyler LearnJul 21, 2012 @Dylan yes. Those same country girls usually have loaded parents and have no idea what's it's like to work on a farm
Taylor GarryJul 21, 2012 Jason now that i think about it, that's a big selling point
Jason W. EversJul 21, 2012 I always drove a truck cause I needed a bed for the empty beer cans.
Dan RuthJul 21, 2012 I like to use the word "overcompensating", when it come to people who buy pickup trucks, and never use them.
Description: But the Blackwood said the exact opposite. It was too utilitarian for pure conspicuous consumption, but not utilitarian enough to project rugged independence. The Blackwood was a failure of epic propo...Add Comments0

Aislin CooperJul 21, 2012 You could sleep in there I guess
Kyle NistlerJul 21, 2012 I've got a buddy that has one of these and he has no problem with it. Plus it looks good, not saying I would own one though...
Jordan JacksonJul 21, 2012 If it weren't so expensive at the time, it probably would have made a perfect family vehicle, especially for vacations
chikenbagJul 21, 2012 huh.... I've never seen the bed of one of these before.... looks weird, but i think i like it?
