2008 Lincoln Mark LT Review
The 2008 Lincoln Mark LT is basically unchanged. This luxury pickup truck is essentially a dressed up Ford F-150 SuperCrew crew cab. Two versions are available, one with a 138.5-inch wheelbase and a 5.5-foot cargo bed; the other a 150.5-inch wheelbase with a 6.5-foot bed. The lone powertrain is a 300-hp 5.4-liter V8 engine and 4-speed automatic transmission. Maximum towing capacity is 8900 lb. Both body styles are available with rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive that should not be left engaged on dry pavement but has a low-range gear for off-roading. Available safety features include ABS and traction control. Leather upholstery is standard. A navigation system and 20-inch wheels are newly optional. Other options include power-adjustable pedals, sunroof, and a newly available rearview camera.
Competition
Consumer Guide Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Large Pickup Trucks are traditionally the vehicles of choice for heavy-duty hauling and towing. They offer an array of cab styles and bed lengths and usually feature powerful V8 or diesel engines. For personal use, consider light-duty half-ton models. For heavy-duty or commercial use, consider three-quarter- or one-ton models.

We have no Best Buys in this class. Our Recommended picks are the Chevrolet Avalanche, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Ford F-150, GMC Sierra 1500, and Toyota Tundra.

News
Sources say Mark LT should be updated again for model-year 2009. Changes will include various underskin measures shared with '09-model Ford F-150s, plus freshened styling, all on the current "T1" platform. A new, more-powerful 6.2-liter V8, part of Ford Motor's upcoming "Hurricane" family, will likely be available by 2010.
