The 2008 Lincoln Mark LT is basically unchanged, though there are a few differences to note. Light French Silk Clearcoat Metallic joins the color chart, navigation and 20-inch wheels are now available, and a rear parking camera is a new option. Satellite radio is now standard and remote engine start can be installed at dealerships. |

Value: |
|
The 2007 Lincoln Mark LT won praise from J.D. Power and Associates for Initial Quality, and as the full-sized luxury pickup truck is little changed for 2008, it's not a stretch to think it might take the award again. Though it is based on the Ford F-150, the Lincoln Mark LT has little competition as a luxury pickup, and it offers the versatility of a tough, go-anywhere workhorse with the added benefits of a comfortable boulevard cruiser. |

Overview: |
|
The 2008 Lincoln Mark LT offers buyers the best of both worlds-the luxury and comfort of a Lincoln sedan plus the go-anywhere, do-anything utility of a tough truck.
The Mark LT comes in two wheelbases-138.5 inches and 150.5 inches, and each is available in either two- or four-wheel drive. All models are four-door SuperCrew Cabs and powered by a 300-horsepower 5.4L V8 putting out 365 lb-ft of torque. A four-speed automatic with overdrive is standard, and when properly equipped, a Mark LT 4x2 can tow up to 9,000 pounds.
Standard across the range are power heated leather front seats with driver's side memory, an in-dash six-disc CD changer with MP3 capability and Sirius satellite radio, power windows and locks, a chrome grille, dual heated power mirrors with turn signals, halogen headlights, 18-inch aluminum wheels, wood interior trim, and electronic automatic temperature control.
Popular options on all Mark LTs include a power sliding rear window, a power one-touch moonroof, a reverse sensing system, 20-inch chromed aluminum wheels, a DVD-based navigation system, power adjustable pedals, and a rear parking camera. The 4x4 models feature electric shift-on-the-fly, while 4x2 trucks come with traction control assist.
Several packages can be ordered for the 2008 Mark LT. These include a Class IV Tow Package (with a limited-slip differential and seven-pin wiring harness), a Deluxe Power Package (with a power moonroof, power pedals, and power sliding rear windows), an Elite Package, and two Monochrome paint Appearance Packages.
Standard safety features include remote keyless entry, four-wheel anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, an anti-theft system, and dual-stage front air bags. |
