	Lincoln Blackwood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Blackwood was a luxuriously-trimmed version of the Ford F-150 Crew Cab pickup truck, and was greeted with enthusiasm after its debut at the North American International Auto Show in January of 1999.
		Lincoln's success with the Lincoln Navigator emboldened the company to pursue the first-ever luxury pickup truck, and Cadillac was in hot pursuit with the Cadillac Escalade EXT.
		Lincoln recreated their unique luxury pickup truck as the Mark LT in the 2006 model year, however they did not repeat many of the mistakes made with the Blackwood- particularly its lack of options and versatility.

	New Car Review: 2002 Lincoln Blackwood
		Lincoln felt that there could be a limited market for a four seater that could tow or haul some awkward loads, and the public acclaim has proven them correct.
		Blackwood's most striking feature is its 4-foot, 8-inch cargo trunk, which recalls the craftsmanship of classic wooden motorboats.
		Blackwood also has a Reverse Sensing System that is activated when reverse gear is selected that provides an audible cue to obstacles behind the vehicle, beeping with increasing frequency as the object nears.

		ANN ARBOR -- When Lincoln introduced its first-ever pickup, the 2002 Blackwood, we were amused by the truck's unusual features, including a remote-controlled tonneau cover, a glow-in-the-dark bed, fake wood bands along the body sides, and Dutch doors that replaced the traditional tailgate.
		Where Lincoln pours all of its effort, though, is in the Mark LT's cabin, a study in elegance, sophistication and comfort.

	2002 Lincoln Blackwood - Elepent Scribbles Automotive Reviews & Features
		Lincoln plans to build less than ten thousand of them, so if the big, fl beast that the wags are calling the "Town Truck" appeals to you, you'd better act fast.
		A raised ridge starts where the hood meets the Lincoln logo at the top of the grille, and the line is carried handsomely through to the tonneau cover at the rear.
		The Lincoln Navigator has a soulless, almost cynical feel to it, as if its existence can be traced to a marketing manager's decision to make some money off of this "truck thing." Somehow, the almost identical Blackwood doesn't leave that impression.

		Lincoln's lumbering SUV has been a runaway success, its image as the ultimate urban conveyance burnished by its role in Sean "Puffy" Combs's hasty exit from a Manhattan nightclub.
		The Blackwood should be fine in winter, though, with its bespoke Michelin eighteen-inch all-season rubber, standard traction control, and a limited-slip rear differential.

	2002 Lincoln Blackwood -- by Aaron Esslinger, Auto Revista (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-23)
		Lincoln's all-new 2002 Blackwood, in my opinion, marks the first entry of a pickup into the hoity-toity class of premium luxury automobiles.
		Blackwood is clearly an uptown vehicle, though it has the fortitude to tow up to 8,700 pounds.
		Blackwood's surprising ride comfort is accentuated by the rear load-leveling air suspension.

	2002 Lincoln Blackwood Car Review
		You don't want to use the Blackwood as a work truck, because that's not the intent -- and Ford already has the four-door SuperCrew based on a F-150 truck for that purpose.
		You also wouldn't want it as a sport-utility wagon for off-road travel with four-wheel traction because that's the role of Lincoln's Navigator, the foundation for Blackwood.
		Blackwood's driver and riders will also find the cabin as a quiet space isolated from the outside world and at all times utterly luxurious and comfortable for long-haul treks.

		Thus, standard on the Blackwood are automatic climate control, six-way power seats for driver and front passenger, leather seating surfaces and air-conditioned front seats (both heated and cooled), which first appeared as an option on the Lincoln Navigator.

		Blackwood rides on the chassis of Ford's full-size F-150 pickup truck but uses a heavy-duty rear framework.

	2002 Lincoln Blackwood - The Car Connection
		The 2002 Lincoln Blackwood is a bit of all three, a new, high-end crossover vehicle aimed at creating a new niche in the luxury market-though it won't have the segment all to its own for long.
		When the Blackwood hits market early in the second quarter of 2001, the wenge wood will be replaced by laminate-covered fiberboard.
		Over the next three years, Lincoln plans to underscore that claim with a procession of new products, including a second-generation Navigator, a smaller "light activity vehicle," a reworked LS, and even what sources are calling a "radical" new design for the long-lived Town Car.

		The Blackwood rides on an independent SLA front suspension with coil springs, acceleration-sensitive shock absorbers, and a stabilizer bar.
		To help keep the Blackwood on the road, a traction-assist system cuts engine output by retarding spark and reducing fuel flow until traction is regained.
		Parking the Blackwood in congested parking lots is fairly effortless, comparable to maneuvering a midsize sedan.

	2002 Lincoln Blackwood Car Review -- Sussex County Online, Delaware
		The new Blackwood, due in dealer showrooms in August, is supposedly a manifestation of how faithful Lincoln stayed to its original four-door Concept Truck, introduced at the 1999 Detroit auto show.
		Actually, the Blackwood is more of a "tow truck," using four-wheel disc brakes and 18-inch tires and aluminum wheels.
		Lincoln believes the Blackwood is, like the Navigator and the LS, "found money." That is to say, nearly 70 percent of the people buying those models are new customers; they'd never owned a Lincoln before.
