New Car Test Drive Review

Summary:

It's a pickup truck. It's an SUV. It's a pickup AND an SUV! Or neither.
By Tom Lankard, NewCarTestDrive.com

The Blackwood is primarily a styling statement. Look at us, at Lincoln. We're different. We're offering luxury where it hasn't been offered. That makes us The Best.

As superficial as this may sound, the Blackwood does well what it sets out to do. The ride and handling are equal to and in some measures better than the Navigator's; don't be surprised to see some of this trickle down in the near future. The interior packaging is well thought out and executed.

The proportions look awkward, but maybe time will train the eye to accept something different from what it's used to.

Overview:

Lincoln's new Blackwood is a curious creation, almost as noteworthy for what it isn't as for what it is.

It is not a sport utility. While having four doors and casting a larger shadow than the Ford Navigator, it carries only four occupants. And the luxuriously appointed cargo space behind the second-row seats can't be accessed from the passenger compartment.

It is not a pickup. The bed is topped by a power-operated, forward-hinged, weather-proof, lockable lid that caps cargo capacity at 26.5 cubic feet. The bed's carpeting, brushed-aluminum sides and LED lighting will leave stockers at the local home improvement warehouse store laughing.

But it will give two couples plush, commodious transport for a night on the town. And the bed will accommodate a threesome's golf bags with room to spare.

Perhaps what matters most is few buyers will see another on the road. Lincoln is limiting production to less than 10,000 per year. Exclusivity adds to its appeal, say Lincoln marketing executives.
