The '''Lincoln Mark LT''' is a luxury full-size pickup truck manufactured and marketed by Ford's Lincoln division for model years 2006–2008 (U.S. and Canada) and 2006–2014 (Mexico) as a badge engineered, luxury-trimmed variant of the Ford F-150 truck — and a successor to the 2002-only Lincoln Blackwood.
The Mark LT was manufactured at Ford's River Rouge Plant in Dearborn, Michigan, and at the Ford Cuautitlan plant in Cuautitlán, Mexico, on the same lines as the closely related Ford F-150, on which it was based. It used the same 330-cubic-inch, {{Convert|300|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} 5.4 L Triton V8 and has four doors. The Mark LT also had optional all-wheel drive.
Lincoln projected selling 13,000 Mark LT's annually in the United States. The Mark LT was more successful than the Blackwood in its first year of sales with 10,274 sold in the first calendar year of sales (February 2005 through February 2006). The 2006 Mark LT outsold the Cadillac Escalade EXT, but the 2007 EXT gained on the Mark LT's sales consistently.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=27379 |title = Crossovers, Lincoln Highlight Ford's 2007 Sales Performance; Further Growth Expected In 2008 |publisher=Media.Ford.com |accessdate=2010-12-12 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110525175615/http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=27379 |archivedate=2011-05-25 }}</ref><ref>[https://archive.today/20090629204401/http://media.gm.com:8221/servlet/GatewayServlet?target=http://image.emerald.gm.com/gmnews/viewmonthlyreleasedetail.do%3Fdomain=6&docid=42261 GM Media Online<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> After disappointing sales, the Mark LT was cancelled in the United States and Canada after the first generation. A second generation was marketed in Mexico where it was often the Lincoln Division's best selling model.

For 2007, the Mark LT received a grille facelift, optional DVD-based navigation system and other luxury and cosmetic features. For 2008, the Mark LT received the addition of the color of Light French Silk clearcoat metallic and an optional rearview camera back-up system. ===Retirement=== Ford ended sales of the Lincoln Mark LT in the United States and Canada after the 2008 model year.<ref>{{cite web | authorlink = Inside Line | title = RIP: Lincoln Mark LT | date = September 2007 | url = http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId%3D122468 | accessdate = 2007-09-04 | url-status = dead | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070930033620/http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=122468 | archivedate = 2007-09-30 }}</ref> In its place, Ford offered an upper-end trim of the 2009 F-150, marketed as '''Platinum'''.

As a result, Lincoln received an all-new Mark LT for the 2010 model year but only for the Mexican market. Based upon the twelfth generation F-150 introduced a year before, the Mark LT shared its trim with the F-150 Platinum. To differentiate it from the Navigator, the Mark LT was given a split grille in the style of the MKS and MKT.
The Mark LT was built in two versions along with the F-150: the short-bed ''Dearborn'' and the long bed ''Cuautitlán''.<ref>{{cite web | authorlink = PickupTrucks.com | title = First Look: 2010 Lincoln Mark LT Is For Mexico Only |date=August 2009 | url = http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2009/08/first-look-2010-lincoln-mark-lt-for-mexico-only.html | accessdate = 2011-06-22 }}</ref>
With the introduction of the 2015 thirteenth generation F-Series, no Mark LT version was built, making the 2014 model year the last for the Mark LT.{{citation needed|date=July 2020}} thumb|Lincoln Mark LT in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco
