2011 Lincoln Mark LT

Interestingly, this is apparently the new Lincoln Mark LT for the south of the border folks. Looks like a Platinum with a Lincoln grill grafted onto it.

I can't believe people actually buy those Mark LT's. I mean why wouldn't someone who would spend that much on a truck just not buy a Lariat/Platinum?

They dropped the Mark LT in 08 (because of the 09 redesign) and replaced it with the Platinum f150 which I think is good because the days of rebadged vehicles are long gone! (and nobody wants to be like GM )

But in Mexico they resume the Mark LT as a platinum F150 rebadged as a lincold.. who knows, I guess that just still sells well in Mexico.

Also, believe it or not, the F150 is sold in mexico as the Ford LOBO... I think its pretty funny

The Mexican buyers absolutely LOVE the Lincoln Mark LT. It is the most sought after truck in the Mexican market. They are absolutely everywhere.

Yeah, F150 and F250 look like they did back in the late 90s, early 00s. Sad, but they sell. Lobo still is very popular.

oh, get used to seeing that grille on F-150 XL's around here. along with the Dodge rams having Sterling grilles, and Lariat Fords having LT grilles and wheels. that's all i see around here.

yep, that's pure platinum right there. actually, i think that looks better than the Platinum. i never liked the grille and thing on the tailgate much. just didn't seem like the right material and design. if they could do it right, like sell it for the same price as the Platinum, maybe it would do OK. people around here like different choices for same money. maybe if the sold it for the EXACT same price as the Platinum, some people might like the Lincoln version better. to be honest, i like the grill on the Lincoln better than the platinum.

I'd have bought a Mark Lt back in 07 if I could have got one when i needed it....it was going to have taken an extra month to order it over my lariat.....

And...i think i'd buy one again seeing this...I actually like the grille better than the platinum....

I'm starting to like it better too Ryan. At first, I thought it was kind of gaudy, but after looking at it and the rest of the truck, it's actually not too bad.

Good question. It's funny how we always see tons of vehicles south bound but never any coming north. I would imagine the emissions equipment would be the same and the airbags / safety equipment should all be there. I don't see why not.
