The Mark LT cruises into 2007 with more than a dozen changes, including: a new grille and headlamp design; a new chrome surround on the rear taillamps; a monochromatic appearance package with a body-color grille surround; new bumper, mirror caps, and chrome step bars; available 20-inch chrome aluminum wheels; and three new exterior colors. Inside, look for an available DVD-based navigation/radio system, a standard auto-dimming driver-side rearview mirror, an Elite package, an available 6.5-foot cargo bed, available power-folding heated exterior mirrors with chrome caps, a chrome Lincoln star on seatbacks and the flow-through storage console lid, Ebony wood trim on the steering wheel, and a new door handle bezel and lower appliqué with Ebony wood accent.

Now that the truck wars have heated up with the introduction of new models from Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC, as well as Toyota (Tundra), the pressure is on the Mark LT luxury pickup to hold its own. The only direct competitor to the Mark LT is the Cadillac Escalade EXT. The Mark LT has outsold its competitor from Cadillac for two consecutive years, but the redesigned 2007 Escalade EXT promises to make things interesting.
