Lincoln Blackwood I gallery (2001–2002)
The first full-size luxury pickup truck from Lincoln, built on the Ford F-150 and Lincoln Navigator platform.
The Lincoln Blackwood was introduced in 2001 as the brand's first-ever full-size luxury pickup truck. Developed on the Ford PN-96 body-on-frame platform shared with the tenth-generation Ford F-150 and the Lincoln Navigator SUV, the Blackwood was offered exclusively in a four-door crew cab configuration with an individual four-passenger seating layout. Power came from a naturally aspirated 5.4-liter DOHC Modular 32-valve V8 engine producing 300 horsepower, paired with a heavy-duty 4-speed 4R100 automatic transmission. Unlike traditional pickups, the Blackwood was engineered exclusively with rear-wheel drive and featured an auto-leveling rear air suspension tuned for optimal passenger comfort. The defining characteristic of the model was its trunk-like cargo box lined in polished stainless steel and carpet, covered by a power-operated hard tonneau cover and accessed through dual barn-style Dutch doors rather than a traditional tailgate. Due to its limited utility, lack of four-wheel drive, and high starting price, production in the United States and Mexico ended after only one model year in 2002.
