Lincoln Blackwood: 2002 luxury pickup, engine and what the buyer should know
Lincoln Blackwood — the luxury pickup sold in 2002. We look at what set it apart from regular pickups, its tech specs and what to consider if you're hunting for one in the used market.
Blackwood in brief
The Blackwood was Lincoln's attempt to blend the luxury of a sedan with a pickup body. It was built on the Ford F-150 with a four-door cab, but it got a plush interior and a distinctive exterior design.
The vehicle was sold only in 2002 and produced in very limited numbers, making it a rare find today. In Lithuania, such a car would typically turn up individually imported from the USA.
Versions — what's different
The Blackwood was offered in one main version, with no extensive trim options. It's more of a unique model than a typical pickup with various packages.
Key differences from the F-150: a more luxurious interior, a covered cargo bed and rear-wheel drive only. Because of this, the vehicle is less suited to work than traditional pickups.
Engine and transmission
The Blackwood was powered by a 5.4-litre V8 petrol engine, producing around 300hp. It's paired with a four-speed automatic gearbox.
The vehicle is rear-wheel drive only, with no all-wheel-drive option. Fuel consumption is high, as you'd expect from a large petrol V8 pickup.
What to check when buying a Blackwood
Since few of these cars were made, condition and originality are key. Check the interior, leather, and trim condition, as well as the cargo area floor and its mechanism.
It's crucial to check the engine and transmission condition, service history, and body and chassis condition. Mechanical parts are partly shared with the F-150, but specific trim details might be hard to find.
