A KR Expy would be hella-cool.

Anyone else think the Mark LT is doomed? It's marginally better than the Lariat (looks like different interior colors & fancy gauge cluster) and if past pricing structures is any indication of what the LT will cost, who the hell is going to pay 45-55K for a LT? I'm sure it will have more bells & whistles, but c'mon...

Without any significant differences, like powertrain or interior trim, I think the Mark LT is gonna crash and burn. The pics I've seen pen it as a Lariat interior with nicer leather and some different trim bits here and there, it's like a Blackwood, only with a real bed. I don't see the LT going very far, personally.

Ford (Lincoln) need to differentiate there lines better. Engine need different cover or something at least. HID headlights, interior that "looks" different, maybe a "bit" more hp (305hp lol).

The tailights are a nice touch, but really thats the only thing I notice different. Yeah it has real wood, but... Does that make it a new vehicle???

I thought since Eddie Bauer went belly up (or the parent company) that Ford is going to be phasing out the EB trims... I could be wrong, though... it was a rumor I heard that I could never confirm..

Mark LT is a bad idea.

I just dont see how its different from the Lariat.

The Escalade is NOT a dressed up Silverado so I have to ask "What is J Mays smoking?"

Actually the Escalade is a dressed up Tahoe. No more no less. Have you checked the interior design? There are a few differences, but really its the same. Its just a new body, like the H2. With a few new interior pieces. But they do have a more powerful engine.

I agree but I was referring to the Avalanche version of the Escalade which they call a pickup. If Ford is trying to take a piece of that, they are doing it with the wrong truck.

They should produce that Expedition Himalaya truck (the one with the open bed that appeared at Detroit Auto Show 3 or 4 years ago)
