Replying to: KarenS (Jul 18, 2007 9:18 am) Well, my first comment is that the reviewer, one Michael Jordan, should get better informed before he says this: "Loving trucks is as American as the Marlboro Man. But just as that rough and rugged pitchman has ridden off into the sunset (probably coughing), ..." The truth is that the poor Marlboro man died long ago ... of lung cancer. That's about as big a surprise as the fact that another thrown-together Lincoln product finishes last in a comparo.

Replying to: KarenS (Jul 18, 2007 9:18 am) According to the Cadillac website, a three piece lockable (and removable) tonneau cover is standard equipment. I am not totally sure how the mid gate works, but I would think that one could stow the mid gate and then also lock the tonneau cover along with the rest of the truck. Thoughts?

Replying to: KarenS (Jul 18, 2007 9:18 am) Hi What are these trucks missing? A Truck in such a prestiges class, price range, and quality should have a POWERED HARD TONNEAU COVER. The luxury should not stop at the tonneau cover. Everything else is powered. Such a feature should be an option, or better a standard. Such a system available for the EXT. Auto-Covers show a system on their website that has everything the current tonneau on the EXT has and is powered It even lets you use the Midgate: www.auto-covers.com . Now it is the ultimate luxary truck. What do you think? Frank

Are they going to discontinue this beauty before I can win the lottery and buy one? Replies to this message: tidester (Dec 02, 2007 12:02 am) desmo1 (Dec 02, 2007 12:16 pm)

#8 of 15 Lincoln Laugh by gregg_vw Dec 02, 2007 (5:59 pm)
So glad they are cancelling this laughable thing. The Lincoln LT was and is totally ridiculous. At least with the Blackwood they had a Lincoln-looking vehicle. But they were too dumb to figure out in order to sell it in any numbers they needed a 4WD option and an optional open bed. Not rocket science but the overpaid dumbasses couldn't figure that out. Then they follow up with an F150 with VERY minor additions of chrome. In 2008, the thing hasn't a single airbag more than a Chevy Aveo, and it professes to play in the big leagues without even offering stability control. Pathetic.

Replying to: KarenS (Jul 18, 2007 9:18 am) Having read Michael Jordan's review of the Mark LT and the Escalade EXT, my guess is that he'd never been behind the wheel of a truck before reviewing these two. Talk about comparing apples and oranges... these trucks are $12210 apart in base price; of course the Caddy's going to win out. That's not exactly rocket science. At age 50, my '07 Mark LT is my eighth pickup. My previous trucks were all either Dodge, Ford or Chevy... no imports. My Mark LT is, by far, the nicest and most comfortable truck I've ever owned. Regardless of Mr. Jordan's opinion, the seats are fine for all-day driving. I live in Virginia and have driven my Mark LT to Florida twice, and to Illinois once, in the year I've owned it. My poor old backside has graced the seats of numerous Lincolns and Cadillacs, as well as a few Jags and Rolls Royces. We're talking about trucks here , friends, and, for my money, while the Cadillac may be nicer, it's not $12K nicer. The Mark LT is the better value. Oh, and by the way, I get compliments on it several times a week from complete strangers... how many F150 owners can say that??? They may be the same under the skin, but the Mark LT has a "presence" with which its poorer cousin cannot possibly compete. One last thought: my best friend has a Hummer H2 SUT with the midgate and he says it's the most useless automotive feature ever designed.

Replying to: dga57 (Dec 07, 2007 10:31 pm) Yes it is useless on the H2 SUT .Check it out on the EXT or Avalanche. Try it out and then voice your opinion. I would be interested to hear it. Frank
