Ford plans to end production of its Lincoln Mark LT pickup truck — the second Lincoln pickup to fall short of expectations and receive the axe, a new report claims. The Mark LT has been on sale for less than three years, and 2008 model vehicles will be the last, insiders say.
According to supplier sources cited by Automotive News, the Mark LT was slated for a major overhaul alongside the next-generation F-150 next year, but those plans have been dropped.
Production capacity designated for the Mark LT is expected to be reassigned to the F-150, the report says. To fill the gap left by the Mark LT, Ford plans to offer a “Platinum” series F-150.
Sales of the Mark LT have totaled 28,117 since its introduction, according to the trade publication. Ford originally targeted 20,000 units per year.
