Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- The security of a covered truck bed, a plethora of convenience features, upscale interior materials, load-leveling rear suspension, built-in towing hitch.
Cons
- No four-wheel drive, pretentious image, tacky fake-wood on truck bed.
What’s new
For 2002, Lincoln introduces this cross between a luxury SUV and a pickup truck. Essentially a dolled-up Ford F-150 SuperCrew, the Blackwood offers a truckload of creature comforts and safety features but not a lot of utility.
Edmunds says
Just the thing for the country-club set; a useless pick-em-up that's no good at carrying cargo and little better at shuttling people.

Vehicle overview
Lincoln's innovative cross between a luxury SUV and a pickup truck is brand new this year. Think of it this way: The Blackwood is to the F-150 SuperCrew what the Navigator is to the Expedition. With the burgeoning popularity of luxury SUVs, it was only a matter of time before someone took the lead in creating a luxury crew cab.
Powered by a 5.4-liter, 32-valve V8, Blackwood makes 300 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 355 foot-pounds of torque at 2,750 rpm. Its potent engine is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. A built-in Class III/IV towing hitch enables the Blackwood to lug up to 8,700 pounds.
Blackwood is designed to combine excellent handling with a smooth and quiet ride on any type of driving surface, care of an independent short- and long-arm front suspension, variable-rate shock absorber damping and a load-leveling rear suspension. Meanwhile, 18-inch, all-season tires, a 7.6-inch ground clearance and a limited-slip rear differential give this luxury vehicle some off-road ability, although a four-wheel-drive model will not be available, at least at the time of Blackwood's introduction. An engine management system monitors rear wheel slippage and delivers torque accordingly for added traction ability in slippery conditions.
Blackwood seats four commodiously in bucket seats trimmed in black Connolly leather, inside a cabin accented with dark, Wenge wood. Power adjustable gas and brake pedals, two-driver-memory power seats and a tilt steering column make it easy to find the perfect driving position, while an electronic compass/fuel economy display and obstacle-detecting reverse sensing system keep the motorist well apprised of driving conditions. Redundant audio and climate controls grace the steering wheel.
Lincoln's Blackwood doesn't scrimp on safety features, either. Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS are standard, as are second-generation front airbags and front seat-mounted side airbags. Exterior mirrors with redundant turn signal blinkers, key-fob activated approach lamps and a glow-in-the-dark emergency tailgate release round out the list. Meanwhile, the Securilock passive anti-theft system keeps your Blackwood safe from car thieves and joy-riding hooligans.
The Lincoln Blackwood incorporates some nifty features into what is essentially a luxo SuperCrew, such as a power-operated tonneau cover, power moonroof and a cargo bed trimmed with stainless steel and accented with LED light strips. Dutch doors open the tailgate, eliminating the annoyance of having to lean over a drop-down door to reach the contents of the truck bed. Front seat passengers will be gifted with ventilated seats to heat or cool their backsides. The only option available on Blackwood is a console-mounted satellite navigation system. With its myriad amenities and the added utility of a truck bed, we'd bet on the success of Lincoln's hybrid offering; we'd just like to see them get rid of the tacky fake-wood design on the sides of the bed.

Sport Utility With The Ultimate Luxurys
Truck Man, 04/30/2002
2002 Lincoln Blackwood 2WD 4dr Crew Cab (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
First off, the Lincoln Blackwood is NOT
a truck. I'd compare the ride and
handling of this vehicle more with a
BMW than a full size pick-up. From the
extensive research I've done on this
vehicle, I've discovered that Lincoln
spent countless time and dollars
designing the shocks and suspention for
the Blackwood. Among the other
attributes Lincoln has bestowed upon
the … Blackwood, the air conditioning
system is the same used in military
vehicles stationed in the Saudi. The
power taneau cover has a nice feature
that detects objects in it's way and
automatically raises to avoid crushing
anything (including an arm). The
Blackwood is a luxury sport vehicle
with the driveability of a sedan.

2002 Lincoln Blackwood 2WD 4dr Crew Cab (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
WOW!!! Did I get get lucky. My dealer
(Pacific Ford in Long Beach Ca.)was
offering a $20,000.00 discount on the
Blackwood. Thats right $20,000.00.Im
in a $54,000.00 truck with a
$34,000.00 price tag.Ford created one
an amazing vehicle and Im so happy
that I was in the right place at the
right time to pick one up.If your
considering buying or leasing one(only
10,000 … we're produced) take along your
favorite CD and pop it in on your test
drive.If the truck or ride doesn't
sell you, the stereo system will!!

My car that's a Truck!

2002 Lincoln Blackwood 2WD 4dr Crew Cab (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
This vehicle is great at what it does
and is for it's intended owner. I get
the interior space needed for a large
person over 6'2" and 200 lbs. It has
great road manners,the engine provides
very nice low end pick too! The super
street rod looks get the eyes of
everyone.It's loaded with techno-
gadets that make it a timely
vehicle. I never haul wood so
I didn't need a … truck for that
purpose, but I do like the ability to
drive a SUT/SUV that I can claim other
than sharing the family SUV with my
wife! I love my car..oops truck and
the attemp of Lincoln to enter
unchartered waters. Sorry it did not
last... not really. I like the thought
of a collector's dream!

My Texas Town Car and I'm not from Texas
BobRod, 06/30/2002
2002 Lincoln Blackwood 2WD 4dr Crew Cab (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
I recently obtained my Blackwood and
foud it to be quite unique. Remember,
this is not a truck. The only thing
that resembles one is the four door
cab. The Blackwood has most of the Lux
items including AC seats. The Box is
absolutely beautiful. Has 4 cu. ft.
more room than the Town Car. Ford
invested a lot of Money in this
Vehicle. I wouldn't be surprised if
this car … cost Ford around $150,000 to
build or more. I Love driving my own
personel Concept vehicle. Get one while
they are still available. Price is down
now if you shop around, but watch out,
this might be the next collectable. So
don't wait too long
