Short-Lived But Great
The Lincoln Blackwood is one of the most short-lived vehicles to
be considered in reference to the automobile history. It was a
luxury pickup truck that was only sold for a single year. It is
quite a luxuriously-trimmed version of the Ford F-150 Crew Cab
pickup truck. During the 1999 auto show circuit, this vehicle
was actually greeted with much enthusiasm. This vehicle was
crafted and made available with only one design and finish; it
was made with a black exterior and interior.
The truck bed of this vehicle was redone as a trunk, along with
a power tonneau and plush carpeting to add up to it. Artificial
burled black wood made up the exterior of the truck bed, and
over it, the truck bed had featured its exterior to have
aluminum pinstripes.
The Lincoln Blackwood is a four-door vehicle that can take up to
four passengers inside. It is considered to be the Lincoln's
indication of how they want to reinterpret the concept of
American luxury. Its name has been derived from the year 1999
concept and is quite closely related in content and mission to
the Lincoln Navigator. It has taken the role as the "image
truck" for the reasons that it was made to be badder, bolder,
and more exclusive. The Lincoln Blackwood's exterior is quite
identical to the Navigator from the grille to the A-pillars.
People remember it has having a handsome front end. It contains
a trunk that has photolaminate film bonded to its plastic
panels.
The Navigator's platform is also the one that is used by the
Lincoln Blackwood. It is also powered by the very same 5.4 liter
DOHC V8 that the Navigator also uses, and also has shared the
same chassis hardware which includes the control-arm front
suspension, however, this time, with slightly stiffer spring
rates, new jounce bumpers, and a slimmer anti-roll bar. Working
in parallel in its rear is are leaf springs and air springs. It
is crafted to be a well-damped ride with a reasonable weight
distribution. It is okay to drive in winter with its bespoke
Michelin eighteen-inch all-season rubber, standard traction
control, and its limited slip rear differential. Dave Reiche,
the Lincoln's vehicle dynamics engineer stated, "The key to our
system is engine management. The software recognizes deformable
surfaces and allows up to seven per cent wheelspin, because
sometimes you need to let the tires dig into snow or sand just a
little bit to gain traction.
Like Lincoln, the car manufacturer whose foremost concern is
fulfilling the needs of its customers' worldwide,

satisfaction of its customer base. It is one of the leading
Lincoln parts suppliers in the United States. You can check out

parts catalog that includes A/C condensers, carpets, fenders, starters, radiators, grilles, and a whole lot
more.
Overall, the Lincoln Blackwood was made to be a truck with a
rear wheel drive only. These luxury features were all limited to
practical usability of the Lincoln Blackwood. It had stood
stark, austere, and bleak in when compared to the
highly-utilitarian Cadillac.
