2002 Lincoln Blackwood

R36 Coach posted a photo:

Introduced as Lincoln's first pickup truck in August 2001 at the start of the 2002 model year, the Blackwood was a deluxe version of the F-150 which Lincoln-Mercury had aimed mainly at trailer-towing horse owners and certain old money types looking for a luxury truck as a towing unit (8,700 lb capacity). The Blackwood was dropped after one year with only 3,356 units. Being RWD only and lack of versatile cargo capacity (only a 4' x 8' "cargo box" with twin rear doors, no traditional load bed) limited interest. The Blackwood had a single standard trim $51,785 retail list price, with the only factory option being a navigation system.
