Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Similar to the Ford F-150 and only available as a SuperCrew Cab, the Mark LT falls mid-class for its flashy and imposing exterior design. "It is generally handsome, especially in profile," says USA Today.

According to the Arizona Republic, the Mark LT's look "is rich, with lots of gleaming chrome and extra detail." Says the Sacramento Bee: "If you want everyone to notice your ride, the Mark LT fills that bill at first glance. It's an enormous hunk of beautifully sculpted body panels and chrome." The Arizona Republic calls it "macho" and handsome."

Nevertheless, not all reviewers are satisfied. In fact, some wish Lincoln would have differentiated the Mark LT from the Ford F-150 a bit more. Motor Trend complains, "All the 'Lincoln-ness' -- that big chrome waterfall grill, the taillights, the badges, the alloy wheels, the wood and leather interior -- has simply been screwed, glued, or sewn onto a regular F-150 crew cab."

The Mark LT is available in a 138.5-inch short wheelbase or 150.5-inch long wheelbase model, and comes outfitted with four full-size doors, power/heated mirrors and 18-inch seven spoke cast-aluminum wheels. Optional exterior features include chrome bed rails, a power moonroof, power rear window, running boards and 20-inch seven spoke chrome aluminum wheels.
