2008 Lincoln Mark LT

The 2008 Lincoln Mark LT is a large luxury pickup truck that can seat up to five people. It’s meant for drivers who want a capable truck with competitive towing and payload capacities, as well as a premium interior design. When properly equipped, the Mark LT has up to 8,900 pounds of towing capacity and a maximum payload capacity of 1,570 pounds, which are competitive figures for the class. Beyond being a capable pickup, the Mark LT also has an upscale design and high-end convenience features. And for a pickup truck, it delivers a comfortable ride.

The Mark LT separates itself from other full-size pickup trucks with its luxurious cabin, relatively smooth ride, and roomy seats. Keep in mind, though, it trails key rivals when it comes to towing capacity, engine performance, available configurations, and interior quality. While the Mark LT has a handsome interior design, the truck’s cabin has some hard plastics that stop it from feeling as nice as some rivals. Lincoln also sells the Mark LT with a 300-horsepower V8 engine, which isn’t as powerful as engines found in competitors. Lastly, some of the Mark LT’s rivals have up to 10,580 pounds of towing capacity and Lincoln’s pickup is only available in a crew cab body style.
