Car Review (All Years)
Reviews and ratings of the Lincoln Blackwood (all years). These reviews are written by the owners themselves.

Car Survey (All Years)
Here's what owners of the Lincoln Blackwood think of their vehicles -- all years are covered.

Car Buying Strategies (2002)
Luxuries are generous in the Lincoln Blackwood Extended Cab. Passengers will enjoy air conditioning, an AM/FM stereo with CD player, power door locks, power windows, and dual power mirrors.

Car Trackers (2002)
Looks like a truck, but lives like a luxury car ­ The crossover market has lots of entries but the Blackwood is on the top of the mountain.

Cars.com (2002)
A lockable, power-operated hard tonneau cover encloses a 4-by-8-foot cargo box, or trunk. Pushing buttons on the remote key fob raises and lowers the tonneau; this is said to be the first manufacturer-installed power tonneau cover.

Detroit News (2002)
Standard items on Blackwood include a moonroof, power-adjustable pedals, heated side-view mirrors and a reverse-sensing system.

Edmunds (2002)
Lincoln's Blackwood doesn't scrimp on safety features, either. Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS are standard, as are second-generation front airbags and front seat-mounted side airbags. Video highlights here too.

Motor Trend (2002)
Lincoln's new Blackwood lux truck isn't about needs. It is about wants. Because of that, it falls into the quirky, limited-edition big-dollar purchase zone that isn't about tow ratings, cargo capacity, or price/value ratio.

MSN Carpoint (2002)
The 4-door, 4-passenger Blackwood—part Lincoln Navigator, part pickup truck—features a 300-horsepower V8 engine, a leather and wood-trimmed interior, and a distinctive box-like trunk with Dutch-style doors and a power-operated tonneau cover.

New Car Test Drive (2002)
Lincoln is limiting production to less than 10,000 per year. Exclusivity adds to its appeal.

Pickup Truck (2002)
The Blackwood's front suspension is 4% stiffer than Navigator, and is equipped with acceleration sensitive damping shock absorbers. A near 50/50 weight balance and the rack-and-pinion steering from the Crown Victoria police package makes this 5,700-pound Lincoln surprisingly nimble.

Popular Mechanics (2002)
The 2002 Blackwood is the most hoity-toity pickup truck ever built.

The Car Connection (2002)
The Blackwood simply oozes luxury. The cabin seats a party of four in firm, low-slung, Connolly leather-surfaced buckets, and there are huge center consoles fore and aft.

The Car Connection (2002)
Consider the rear cargo bed, roughly two feet shorter than that of the F-150. This is the vehicle’s signature touch.

The Car Place (2002)
It gives us some innovation and then stumbles on items we should take for granted in any luxury vehicle at this price level. It's good, but it could be better.

USA Today (2002)
You can't really use the thing as a pickup because of the tonneau cover. It's hinged at the front and yawns open. It's awkward to impossible to scramble into the bed and wrangle cargo without whacking your head on the tonneau.

Yahoo Autos (2002)
The 2002 Blackwood is a 4-door, 4-passenger luxury pickup, available in one trim only, the Luxury Utility Vehicle. The 2002 Blackwood's closest competitors include the Cadillac Escalade EXT and the GMC Sierra Denali.
