Lincoln attempted to make a dent in the pickup market in 2006, introducing the Lincoln Mark LT, a luxury pickup based on the Ford F-150. This oddball pickup didn’t garner much interest and was discontinued after the 2008 model year in the U.S. However, the luxury pickup soldiered on for a second generation exclusive to the Mexican market, this time based on the Ford F-150 Platinum. Recently, Ford Authority spied a peculiar pickup that looks like a second-generation Mark LT on the surface, but upon closer inspection, it seems this truck is a regular cab F-150 dressed up like a Lincoln.
This curious vehicle is not a true second-generation Mark LT, as it was never offered as a regular cab. It’s obvious that this is a customized Ford F-150 that’s been outfitted with pieces and parts from the elusive second-gen Mark LT. Note the front grille emblazoned with the Lincoln star, along with the chrome Mark LT badging on the door and Lincoln logo on the fender. The tailgate is also reminiscent of a second-gen Mark LT. It also sports a set of aftermarket chrome wheels, along with aftermarket headlights, clear indications that this particular pickup is simply the result of a creative Ford F-150 owner.
The first- and second-generation Lincoln Mark LT didn’t have a very long lifespan, and previously, Lincoln stated that it wasn’t interested in producing a successor. At the end of June, though, Ford Authority reported that the automaker may have had a change of heart when it comes to reentering the luxury pickup space, although nothing is in development at the moment.
“I wouldn’t rule anything out,” John Jraiche, Global Lincoln Product Director, said during an interview at the Lincoln Star concept reveal event. “I would say we serve our customer well with our F-Series with the Lightning coming out. But you never know.”

That white “F150” has to be the ugliest truck I have every seen
This is just some guys custom truck. What’s with all the negative comments?
Uh, NO!!
Im the owner of this custom Mark LT & got a lot of looks !!! The Mark LT clone has a Boss 302 Roush tune 5.0 coyote !!!
Nice truck, looks great.
Please say it ain’t so. Lincoln can’t have cars so let’s sell trucks! Nothing says Lincoln Luxury like a truck!
hey retard before you make ignorant comments check out who owns the truck first, white guy owns it
Just stop right here with this thing. No, No & No. Use the dollars to give us a proper LS and Continental and Mark 9 off the S650 please……
I have a 2006 Mark LT with about 150,000 miles on it. As it is my 3rd Mark LT, I have a total of 220,000 miles driving them. The comment about not being able to do actual work with Lincoln trucks is probably referencing the Blackwood, which has nothing to do with the Mark LT.
I like Lincoln’s. And I need a truck. If Lincoln comes out with a new Mark LT in the US, probably I will buy it.
This is one of the ugliest vehicles I’ve ever seen, if it’s goes into production, it will be a sales failure just like the Blackwood and Mark LT, and Ford will lose a billion dollars or 2 in the process.
