Don't know how much of a market there would be though
I doubt there is much of a market long term for a luxury P/U. Lexus will pay close attention no doubt however to see how the Lincoln sells......keep in mind that Lincoln is on it's second try with this.....the Blackwood failed miserably.

So i guess this is a big fat NO I guess it wouldn't make sense.... Your not going to put a piece of wood sticking out of a lexus luxury PU with red tape on it are you.... I don't think so.... leave that to the ford f-150

Mods you can close this thread... Thanks..

If I were going to buy another truck I would take a look at a Lexus truck. I'm sure there are plenty of purists here that don't like the idea, but I do like the idea. I think the Lincoln Mark LT is cool. I do wish they did more than change the grill and trim bits though. I think the Mark LT had a lot of potintial.

The blackwood failed because it was a car wtih a bed. It had all utility as a truck stripped from it. The bed had doors with a power lid and a carpeted bed. It couldn't tow either. It was strictly for people who knew they wanted to use the truck like a car. That excluded the rest of the market that thinks they want a truck to use like a truck, only to use it like a car.

I'm talking as a Southern Californian who likes trucks. Outside of Texas and here trucks just aren't seen the same way. I do love modded trucks, and having a Lexus truck is sort of like having a head start modding from the factory.
