Love my 2007 Mark LT
After owning five Ford pickups, the Mark LT seemed the logical "step up". As nice as the Lariat and King Ranch Fords are, Lincoln takes it up another notch. On the open road it is nearly as comfortable as my 2004 Town Car and/or the 2000 Navigator I had before that. I like the fact that it's based on the F150 because it is a tried and proven vehicle yet offers a more luxurious ride than I've had from my previous trucks. It's a definite keeper!
Excellent Truck
This has been one of the best trucks i've owned! I had a Ford F-150 Lariat previously and this truck blows it away. The exterior looks great along with the interior, the interior could be better quality in spots but overall it's pretty good. I put a lot of miles on it each year and only had one problem with one of the back up sensors, but Ford's great warrenty (50,000 bumper to bumper warrenty) backed me up and I didn't pay a penny. The gas mileage isn't bad for such a large truck I avg. about 14-15 in the city and 18-20 on the highway. This is a great truck and would recommend it to anybody. I'd by another one any day! Lincoln should have never stopped making this car,maybe they will again
Classy Truck
Beautiful truck on the inside and outside. Lots of features including moonroof, navigation, satellite radio, traction control, park assist, and excellent seating with good leg space in front and back. Rides good, looks good and get lot of people who see the exterior and want to see interior. All who look say wow! Nice truck. Driver and passengers have good seats with a good view. Has a four year bumper-to-bumper warranty, 5-year roadside assistance and 70,000 mile powertrain, plus first year maintenance is free. Beats the warranty on most other trucks. Glad I bought my Lincoln Mark LT. Love it!
new 07 mark lt
I decided on the Mark Lt after driving many trucks but always wanting more typical luxury features. I personally do not care that it is based on the 150 as that is a good truck- I view it as a luxury package on that truck. With the monochrome package and everything but rear dvd it is a great driving experience on the road, but the size, for me, makes it difficult for short shopping trips. I had an 05 tacoma that was a great truck but too basic. The looks of it are stellar, the ride height awesome, the luxury features the best available, and to me, ford is the mercedes of the truck category. Buy it if you really like the f-150 but want more luxury features, looks and exclusivity.
Solid Truck
Bought this truck new and other than maintenance it was in dealer one time for rotors at 7K. Overall very happy with it and I am not a gentle driver. Gas could be better getting 9.5 in this heatwave.
Ford Can Provide Warranty Parts
At 25K, fuel injector failed destroying catalytic converter. Truck has been in shop 4 weeks. Converter on order for over 3 weeks & just slipped delivery another 1 1/2 weeks. Ford replacement Catalytic Converters are not readily available. If I used a Ford truck for a living I would be in serious trouble. Dealership is not the problem as Ford cannot provide part required for repairs. Dealer has been in contact with Ford w/no results. Extended warranty would not have helped. Will this be the last injector failure???
MARK LT
The best vehicle I have ever owned! It is a real "head turner". Pretty truck inside and out. Could easily be used to attend a black tie affair. The only drawback is fuel economy so I still spend a lot of time in my work truck.
Nice Truck
The Mark is a pleasant truck that will do all I ask of it in hauling a boat comfortably. I like the features of sunroof, heated seats, a tad of leather and satellite radio. The reverse scanning system is top-notch. I find the Mark is first and foremost a truck. The Escalade, my other consideration was too elaborate for my needs.
Need to improve the outlook on luxury
I bought this truck because it was dealer used and had only 12,000 miles on it. The truck rides great and seems to have power although I have not towed anything with it. Visually its a beautiful truck, but it has errors that should not be on luxury vehicles. The chrome rocker panels are wavy looking. The drivers seat is already showing signs of tear and wear with only 13,100 miles on it. The shifter feels cheap and the gas mileage is horrendous. 12-13mpg average. The touch screen for the radio and navigation is a pain to scroll through. No rear air controls. The brake dust is comparable to Mercedes and BMW.
Not for everyone, but perfect for us!
I am 61 my wife is 55. This truck meets our needs perfectly. We wanted a truck that we could occasionly use for hauling as well as an excellent highway cruiser and mall hauler. We chose the white chocolate exterior and parchiment interior. I find the build quality to be excellent. Our truck did have a cloudy drivers side mirror and was replaced under warranty. The stereo with Sirius radio is outstanding. The 5.4L engine has plenty of power. My wife drove the truck from Palm Springs to the SF Bay Area a distance of about 600 miles and loved the way it drove and felt. There are still some 08's still available and I would say if you are looking for an upscale pickup this just might be it.
My NEW MOM Mobile
I am absolutely thrilled with my "new to me" TRUCK. I wanted to get rid of my MOM mobile safari van. I wanted a "TOY that was functional" NO van and Not gray. Was leaning toward a HUMMER and decided it would not be functional for our family. We need to HAUL our toys in the back of a truck; 4-wheeler, kayak, motorcycle plus tow a trailer at times. I get alot of compliments on my truck and people think it is brand new it is a 2006. No buyers remorse here and so far it gets 17.3-18.2 MPG not to bad!! FUN to drive. LOVE IT!!! PS. My Husband and son had to modify the muffler to add "rumble" it was to quiet for them. I have to admit I enjoy the rumble also. Thanks Honey and my son!!
Remarkable Truck
This is by far the best truck I have ever seen (and I live in San Antonio, TX). Gets comments everywhere I go. Power and fuel mileage are extremely good for a truck this large. Plenty of room inside and out for how I would use a truck. Stereo even impresses the kids -- the subwoofer will make the cars around you shake. The real wood trim is so smooth, you have to look twice to realize what they are. The chrome running boards look great with the rest of the truck, and are very functional with the rubber inserts.
Lincoln lt performance
Our 3000 mile trip from florida to michigan and back was in style, comfort, easy handling, gas milage and dependibiltiy, this truck is a sure winner. Pulling a large tandem trailer, it still performed beyond my expectations. Truck pulling fully loaded tandem trailer, averaged 16.5 Mpg.
Gorgeous truck
The Lincoln Mark LT truck is an elegant version of an F-150 Lariat. It drives like a luxury SUV with absolutely no "trucky" feel, making you forget you're driving a pickup. The engine is smooth, strong, throaty. Transmission shifts seamlessly during cruising. Body fit and finish is impressive. The stereo pumps. The shortbed has generous cargo space and extends to 8-ft with the tailgate down. There's lots of plastic on dashboard, but is tastefully done and durable. The Lincoln trim makes it more mature and sophisticated than an F-150. Negatives: the leather may be bit delicate, rear seat backrest too straight up, no overall difference than an F-150 Lariat, which sells for $6,000 cheaper.
Best truck I've ever owned
True Lincoln. I have had many Fords and Chevy trucks. This is my 1st Lincoln. An accidental purchase. I was in the market for an F-150 Lariat. By the time I added the options I wanted this truck was $3,000 cheaper and it was on the dealer's floor. I have about 33,000 miles on it now and it is still like brand new. Comfort is as good as my bros 75k Mercedes. The fit and finish- cut above the F-150. I have had no problems. My only beef, but a big vehicle, is the gas mileage. I get 12mpg ave. What can I expect? With gas at $4.20 a gallon it's no fun. Perfoms great, love on long trips. Step on the gas and let the horses loose! I would buy again. I will keep this truck till it dies!
Very Happy!
This is the truck for those of us who said they would never drive a truck. Unlike the EXT it is a real truck. These are the most comfortable seats I have ever had in a SUV. I am very happy with it and people look at it everywhere I go. Sure it could be faster and the mpg isnt the greatest but you know that going in.
not as good as it looks
the lincoln mark lt looks like a winner, but it is covering just an average truck. the quality control from the factory needs improvements. Many thing were not correct on the delivery of the vehicle and has taken a lot of personal time to try and correct unfinished items on the truck. I would not recommend this truct to any of my friends.
Just got rid of this piece of junk
Bought the truck with 36K miles on it from the dealer. Ran great for a month and then went to hell. 1 year and a settlement from ford later...yes I said settlement on a used truck, the tranny is shot, rear end is shot tie- rods are shot, it leaks water and the roof rattles. Dealer told me 7K to fix everything...by the way the truck only has 54K miles!. Great looking truck..and easy to look at cause it was never running.
Fantastic Truck
We looked at all makes including the Import Trucks and not one could compare. The Lincoln offered Luxury at its finest and the ability to have a usable bed for hauling, unlike the Cadillac's. The review by supposedly industry critics that ding it for not offering a Navigation system is crazy, the better option here is to buy a Garmin that you can move from vehicle to vehicle and update via the web! The truck has all the luxury comforts, individual style, guts, and looks incredibile! The imports that get all the rave reviews, did not compare. The Cadillac is awesome but so is the price tag! The Lincooln fit a perfect nitch! Great job Lincoln! We Love it and the quality is A1!
Sweet Truck
This truck is just beautiful. If you are looking for a pickup that can haul pretty much anything, this is the one. Looked at Titan and Ram first but liked this one the best. The interior is wonderful. If you're looking for a hot truck, this is the one!
Best Vehicle I've ever owned
Just bought this truck not to long ago, and it has to be the best vehicle i've ever owned and i've owned a lot of vehicles in my 58 years. The ride is smooth for a pick up, the interior is good, with the exception of some plastics, the stereo is excellent, and it hauls my 7000lb camper with no problem. As good as this truck is, it could have better MPG's, 16 on the highway going 80 is ok but i'd prefer 20 at least. Other than the fuel econ i have no complaints at all. Very good buy
My Truck
I like to drive this truck. I am a 5' 4" woman drove 7,000 miles in nine days PA to CA and back to PA. My truck preformed great. Had some problems with the chrome wheels peeling, Lincoln replaced all four.
Great Truck!
I have really enjoyed this truck! I used it as my daily driver for about a year, when I sold one car and was not sure which car I wanted to get next. This truck gets lots of looks and compliments, and it functions quite capably as a "truck" too! I have used it often to haul dirt, mulch, rocks, brush, trash, you name it - it does it all with style. It does a great job towing a 24 foot boat as well. Everyone who has ridden in it has commented on how nice the interior is and how comfortable it is. I haven't put a lot of miles on it (16,000) but it has not given me any problems. I have heard they are not going to build it after 2008, which is disappointing because it's really a great truck!
Not like just another truck. If you want to turn heads this is for you.
Yes, all and all it's a glorified F-150, but the menacing grill can't be stopped. Strangers are always giving me compliments on this truck. It is has it all function, luxury, and a touch of American gaudiness depending on how much chrome you add.
Not as good as it should be
Dealer was the best i've ever dealt with. The truck is beautiful (burgundy color) and gets lots of compliments. Air wouldn't blow cold at idle unless it was a overcast day and it had no power at all. Probally the weakest vehicle i've ever owned. The local dealer said they just reset the computer code and all was well. Not so , the air blows cold MOST of the time but it still has NO power and the gas mileage is terrible. not really a lincoln, just a F-150 with some chrome. Lincoln can sell it off the name and the looks but they really need to make it a Lincoln for those that know the difference.
F150 with a cool plastic grill
I fortunately only leased this vehicle for 2 years. It's a great looking truck that gets a lot of compliments. The main problem is that the seats look good but are hard as a rock and terribly uncomfortable even on short drives. The Interior looks good but has cheap materials, and is nearly exactly the same as a Ford F150. This is a truck with truck capabilities. I also have 4 Chevy Avalanches in my 40+ vehicle fleet and would rather drive one of them hands down. You'll get much better fuel mileage as well. This is a well built "truck" with terrible seats, and terrible fuel mileage of 11-12mpg average. 20% better on the Avalanche.
This Girl's Truck
Silly Boys...Trucks are for Girls! This is the greatest truck ever built. I love my truck and have even named her "Big Bertha". She is certainly a man intimidator! Her performance and styling is superior. She pulls a trailer or boat like there is nothing in tow. This is one mean truck and I will have her for many years to come. My Thanks to Lincoln for the Mark LT.
2007 LINCOLN MARK LT- A GREAT OPTION OVER THE F-15
I had to replace my 1998 F-150 that had 189KMI. Looked at the various F-150 variants then I looked at the Mark LT. It has a very refined look with the toughness of the F-150. The seats seemed more comfortable and interior trim refined. Love the super crew 4 doors. All kinds of room. After 75KMI the exterior looks perfect with the exception of the chrome wheels are starting to peel. Interior looks perfect especially the leather. Gas mileage averages around 17.5 MPG but you can see 22.7 on the highway. My 1998 F-150only averaged 15 with a smaller V8 and only a supercab. Too bad Ford only builds for Mexico.....Bring this truck back to the US. Think of the Mark LT as an appearance package with the same great rugged reliability of the F-150. This is a good looking truck!

2007 lincoln mark lt
very few on the road, so you stand out in this truck. i like the exterior styling along with the performance it offers. interior is comfortable. it is basically a fancy ford, and you get everything that entails owning a ford, good and bad(good looks and performance along with spotty build quality and questionable reliability). fuel mileage is poor(11 mpg in the city, up to 19 mpg on the highway at 70 mph), but it is a truck and can be used as a truck(4wd with 8600 lb. towing capacity). even with the negatives of this truck, i really enjoy driving it and would buy it again
Love it
Bought this towards year end with a great deal having owned an Aviator before. Needed a pickup that I could throw stuff in and haul with occasionally, but with luxury items. It drives great, is super comfortable and draws a lot of looks still. Plenty of horsepower and ride quality. I have treated this truck, on quite a few occasions, like a old work horse. I have hauled a couple yards of gravel with it, it did not break a sweat. Launched jet skis in a non launch area, off road, and of course, Syracuse, NY salted roads. The Mark LT has no surprises, it's a sexy, over the top F150 for those who want a pickup truck with the luxury items found in many cars today. Just a great truck.
Black Beauty
Excellent appearance. Not your everyday work buggy. Quiet and solid build; however many of the interior dash components are very dated and not cutting edge you'd expect for a vehicle that has a MSRP or 47K plus. Spend a couple more bucks and install gauges with wow! Improve fuel MPG.
Now a happy customer
I recently purchased a new Mark LT 2006, my first experience with a lincoln (ford) product. i was very hesitant because of the ford reputation of breaking down all the time. The first day with my new truck the entire electrical system went out, and the interior started to fall apart. I called the dealer, and they came and picked me up 35 miles away!!! Then gave me the the option of fix my truck, money back or to pick a different Mark LT of my choice. I selected a different model and though it runs great the quality of the plant needs work. It is missing moldings on both sides. I am pleased with the MARK LT, the attention to detail from the plant is really poor.
VERY disappointed
I'm amazed to read all the positive reviews. Since purchasing 4 months ago, it has been in the shop 5 times for quality & build issues. 2 trim pieces were improperly installed at factory using FORD trim pieces that did not even match. The entire steering column had to be replaced due to an incessant rattle (manuf bulletin). Supports in the headliner were not properly fastened causing excessive overhead rattling. Two dealers can't seem to balance the tires. CHEAP plastic abounds in the interior, and the adjustment for tilt steering is primitive. This thing drives and handles like a beast, the seats are unsupportive and uncomfortable, & the paint has runs in it. 50K for this???
Gentelman's truck
This is one of the most comfortable and smooth riding vehicles I have found. I added a lot of after market items like Vogue tires, rims, tonneau cover, rain guards,etc. The only ghing I havent seen is more of these on the road..whats up with that? in a year driving from here and visiting Hawai I have noticed about six. I think if you added the things I did at the showroom more would be on the road. The only problem I have found is the after market splash guards, Huffy custom made would be better. I would love to show my truck in your dealership and people would buy more. As it is on the floor it just doesnt have the bling. To bad cause it is a great truck.hope I didnt buy a Blackwood.chow
Mark LT misses the Mark
I have owned this vehicle one week. Here is what I consider Lincoln missed in the Mark LT Storage - non existent - no room for first aid kit, jumper cables and misc. Rear seat does not fold down. Rear seats fold up, however NO storage underneath. Radio - CD does not shuffle without manual intervention. Odometer - does not have 10th of mile. Memory seats - does not adjust mirrors. Lumbar Support - manual - should be push-button. No light under hood. Hood latch not user friendly. Plastic like grill flimsy. Running boards - black and shows ALL the dirt and dust .. should have been chrome with Lincoln inserts. Certainly not designer chic.
Leased It - Love It - It Is A Lincoln
Picked It Up on August 1. My husband is skilled trades at the Rouge Truck Plant, and the minute he saw it completed, knew we were upgrading from the F150 this lease term. Plus, great price and incentives for employees to GET IT OUT THERE and be seen! We had add-on steps installed - they only add more to the truck - have very visible chrome and make it pop even more. We tow a 7200 lb trailer, and there is no comparison between the F150 and Lincon LT - no shaking, no strain on engine: just a smooth luxury tow ride. Without towing it, just an great, as expected, Lincoln ride, only it is a Truck! Talk about stares, everyone smiles at this truck - no usual blah F150 is this Baby!
marklt
Being the first year the Mark LT was added to the Lincoln line-up as a pick- up, I was impressed with its style and handling capability. It is a practical truck with all the elegance you expect from lincoln. This class of truck has seen few if any amenties from the other car makers.
Mark LT - A Big Hit!
Great Job Lincoln. Excellent workmanship. Im having a great experienced with my new 2006 Mark LT. I am extremely impressed with this vehicle and the value it represents. While this Mark LT is my first experience with Lincoln, I have owned several Cadillacs and I must say this luxury vehicle is tight, quiet and pleasing to drive. I first discovered the Mark LT on Lincolns web site where 360 degree views and driver simulation was possible. A few days later I saw one driving down the road. Hours later I was driving one off the lot. That was two months ago. I thoroughly enjoy driving this vehicle every chance I get.
Great Truck
This is definitely a Guy car, very cool interior, good engine, great gas mileage for being a V8. Awesome sound system. Owners will be definetly happy with this truck, unlike the Blackwood, this is meant to be what it is, a very good looking F150 like truck, except with tons of class.
Many of Compliments
Since I picked up my Mark LT I have received nothing but great comments. It handles better than most cars with the security of a truck. I love all the options but it is not gaudy like some of the other luxury vehicles. I highly recomend.
Excellent Purchase
This is the truck to have, you can be Urbane and deal with farm roads too. What a great mix.
Head Turning Ride
From kids to adults they all stop and stare! Great style and presence makes the Mark LT turn heads. With the chrome running boards and bed liner this is one sweet truck! Those that say it is just a tricked out Ford F150, its no different from the Chevrolet Avalanche to the Cadillac Escalade EXT but $10,000 less. With the superior interior comfort and room,along with sirrus tunes you can go cross country pulling your belongings and get out feeling like a king!
This is the best truck I've ever driven
This truck is a nice truck that is designed for the people who earn it. This truck is far the best looking truck and the most comfortable truck alive
2006 Lincoln Mark LT
Traded a Cadilac Escalade for the new LT. After a few weeks of owning the vehicle my impression is that Lincoln missed another opportunity. The interior is inferior to the Cadilac, there is no Nav system offered, the sound system is basic, only one 12v power source, the back seat rattles, no wood steering wheel, just an F150 with a little xtra. A swing and a miss.
Phat Ride
I'm 23 and this is the my 3rd brand new truck I've bought. . . chevy, dodge, now lincoln. I shoped around and this is the best truck for the price (39 mo. lease) and all around package. Looks sharp, rides smooth over bumps, perfect size, drives and handles like a car not a truck. Pleasurable driving experience.
Love my Linclon LT
Looks great & drives very well, pulls a fully loaded trailer with ease.
I'm a lincoln not an F-150
It drives nice and the ride is very comfy. I like the outside look of the vehicle and had a lot of compliments.
Black is beautiful.
I just completed a five week, ten thousand mile "road test." This is the finest large vehicle I've ever owned. It's also the best looking truck on the market.
2006 Mark LT
Love this truck. Fit and finish are outstanding. Nothing to take back to dealer for adjustments. Get lots of "thumbs up" from onlookers. Very comfortable ride Very satisfied and I would buy again.
Lincoln makes the F-150 shine
I am leasing a Lincoln Mark-LT and have had it for 6 months. I am very impressed with the ride compared to the F-150 and the Lincoln look and feel are great. A lot of heads turn when they look at my Mark-LT and I keep it looking clean and shining all the time. My only cornern is that I am struggling to get 12.5 miles to a gallon in the city. I haven't really had it on the highway for any extended period but I would suspect that I might get about 17-18 MPG at best. I had the dealer put on the chrome step bars, bed liner, bed extender and hard cargo cover which looks great.
