I can just see the interview at the press release:

Reporter - "So what made you decide to market a Lincoln pickup truck?"
Lincoln representitive "Um, uh, well, Cadillac did it."

It just looks like , I think. Here: (source)

It looks like they tacked on a couple cheap chrome-trimmed reflectors on the tailgate just to try and make it look more Lincoln-ish. It looks only marginally better than the ass end of the overdone-for-comic-effect station wagon in National Lampoon's Vacation.

I liked the old Lincoln Blackwood.  This thing is pretty ugly though.

I believe theyre gonna call this thing  Mark 12 or something to that effect. They are shooting for the rich mofookie that says i dont want a Lariat i want somethig lincoln and to tell the truth i kinda like it (im not one for trucks except the lightning or GT-R). And i do believe Linclon did it first with the Black wood

I like it. The wheels on this one are pretty cool. Other than the tailgate and grill it looks a lot like the new F-150's. I'm sure the interior will be more luxury than the F-150. This truck was probably not designed to haul very much or tow anything either. It is mainly to look good, kind of like the Cadillac truck. You don't buy a Cadillac truck to haul stuff, you buy it because it looks cool.

True and i believe that the inside will be lined with the finest white italian leather, that is if they are keeping it the way that i last heard it would be.

It is just a minimally-reskinned F-150.  Practically just re-badged.  I can see the arrogant douche-bags driving this thing already.  "Get out of my way!  I'm driving a truck and it's a Lincoln!

And yeah, Lincoln, way to ize the Mark Series.

Whatever happened to the Blackwood?  Oh yeah, it DIDN'T SELL.  I predict the same fate for this truck as well.

The reason it did not sell is because they did not Market it at all.For the one or two years that it was being sold i only saw one Televison ad.

I think it would sell pretty good. From what I have seen the new F-150 sells pretty good and if you like the new F-150 they you will probably like the lincoln truck.
