Lincoln Blackwood
You may be surprised to learn that Lincoln made a pickup truck for one year only in the form of the Blackwood model. Back in the early ‘2000s, Lincoln offered the popular and successful Navigator, which was the golden standard of luxury SUVs at the moment. Wanting to capitalize on that success, somebody at Lincoln suggested they should build a pickup version to expand the range.
The idea seemed plausible so soon, they sent the first prototypes for testing. The Lincoln used a Ford F-150 platform with the front end and cabin of a Navigator. Also, it came with a custom truck bed with a tailgate that opened like doors and even had a power cover. The finished product looked like a Navigator truck and it was luxurious.
But it failed as a truck since the truck bed was small and unusable. However, the biggest problem was the price as the new 2002 Lincoln Blackwood started at a whopping $52,000. This was an extremely high price for an unusable truck with a Navigator fascia. As you could expect, the market was not amused. In fact, during its 15 months in production, the only made 3,356.
