Question Lincoln Mark LT??????

Does anyone have one of these, or know anything about them? I know they are considerably less expensive than the Cadillac version, but what about ride and driving quality?

Thanks in advance

I passed one on I-95 pulling a large cargo trailer (probably 30 feet). It was a matching promotional vehicle for a clothing company, but I can't remember which. That's all the experience I can lend, but needless to say, I was impressed. It looked REALLY tight, and appeared to be towing well with a full Weight Distribution Hitch setup. The trailer may have been filled with cardboard boxes and T-shirts for all I know, but it was a large trailer.

F150 rebadged. Nice int, a few trick outside cosmetic changes, but still just a loaded F-150.

Needs more power.

When Ford redisigned this truck they added weight to it. If you put the last design with the old 5.4 beside a new design with a new 5.4 the older one would take it! Leave the hp at 300, GIVE ME TORQUE !!

So....

Anyone own or spent any time in one? I am looking at a few ranging from 2006-2008; to use as a daily driver. I'll still have the F-350 DRW for big towing.

2006 was the first model year, and 2008 was the last.
In 2009, Ford came out with the Platinum Edition (F-150 thru Superduty), and the Lincoln Mark LT was ceased.

They all come with the 5.4L.
I would be buying one with 4WD, and the "short" bed. (A few had a 6.5' bed, but most have 5.5' bed.)

I can't stand black/charcoal interiors. They wear the worst on American cars, and the light color interiors on all of the Lincoln Mark LT's I've seen listed all look to be in pretty good shape, considering driver seat wear as major wear point(s).
Leaning toward the off-white, silver, or burgundy in that order; vs. black for a daily driver. Also hoping to find one with monochrome color package which does not have the chrome plates around the bottom.

I know it's just a dressed up F-150, and have been comparatively looking at same vintage F-150s with similar and much higher mileage, and there are plenty to be had which indicates the drivetrain on these trucks is sound.

Open to any/all feed back; good or bad.
Thanks!

Also considering the Escalade EXT, but the AWD is a turn off. This color is amazing though:

I loved my Avalanche (2500), but the Lincoln is suiting my liking more than the Cadillac right now.

If you get one give Mike at 5 Star Tuning a call. Otherwise, you will want to dump that pig (5.4L) after a week.

I had a 05 f150 lariat that had every option available that year, matching the Lincoln. It was a good truck but definitely lacking in the power department. I just traded it in and it had 165,000 miles on it and the interior was almost flawless, leather barely showed any wear. Never had any mechanical issues with it other than routine maintenance. I would definitely look at adding a tuner, I had an edge running only canned tunes which woke it up a little, but I did it more so for the way the transmission shifted ( it is really soft like you could feel the clutches engage almost like driving a standard shift.) I also prefer the ford interiors to any of the GM or Chrysler products in those model years.
