Show "rrv Saturday, January 26, 2002 C-16 Tie Parf Record ' 4 f Automotive LINCOLN'S BLACKWOOD TT ft i H - , : This is the truck to tow your Riva, Car Wood or antique Chris Craft boat in style. We have already seen the stylish cargo bed decorated with flowers and filled with the best gourmet fcx)ds. Emeril and Martha Stewart could ever prepare for the wonderful wonder-ful tailgate parties held every Sunday at the Palm Beach Polo grounds. We have hauled a large horse trailer some 300 miles in pure luxury lux-ury with the new converted full size SUV. The weight balance of the 2002 Lincoln Blackwood is 5050 making it a dream to drive. .In Park City it will haul four of you in style to the Olympics. We are talking about the 2002 Lincoln Blackwood. This is Ford motors most expensive and fanciest fanci-est truck built on the Navigator platform. It is a Navigator converted convert-ed into a crew cab with the most unique bed we have ever seen. The Blackvwxxi is painted Gloss JHE DlilLN, IIIMH.U, IIS IUU III.'. Sold like the Model T in Black only. Inside is all Lincoln. Plushy and perhaps a Little overdone but when you arc spending $53,(XX) plus for a truck you better get something. The signature Lincoln grille lets you know it is a Lincoln. But, this is a crew cab lowered 3 inches with a cargo box. The 4x8 foot cargo bed has stainless-steel sides arid white LED strips along the bottom. Just like the Cadillac Escalade it has storage bins built into the sides. However, only the Blackwoods are in stainless. As stated previously this is ideal to tow your boat. In fact the "woodie" concept is apparant in the rear cargo areas cover. W(xden bands that are in fact laminated photographs of wedge wood are laminated into plastic and separated separat-ed by brushed aluminum. As Lincoln states this is the modem version of varnish., The elite who bought the first 50 offered by the exclusive Neiman Marcus spring catelog had never even seen them. They wanted the luxury of Lincoln in a full size i.l.l , , ! , . IU iiin.niMU'iw-im "MUST SELL 2000 Nissan lion-tier lion-tier Crew Cab. Yellow with Gray interior, SE.

This does not allow for much off-roading . We expect Lincoln to come out in the 2003 version with a full time all-wheel-drive version. First seen by us at the 1999 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. It is now available at the Lincoln dealerships. Limited in supply for this year but then they also have competition and that is Cadillac's Escalade EXT. Both of the these trucks can haul and not just boats or your stable of horses they can haul more with ease than the smaller BMW X5 or the Lexus LX 470 and similar smaller SUVTrucks. Blackwood is aimed at an exclusive exclu-sive group of people. Lincoln states that 60 percent of the buyers will be male with an average age . of 40 years and annual income of $200,000 plus. A Vehicle Communication System (VCS) will be available in the Blackwood.

Lincoln's answer to CM' OnStar. Lincoln's telematics and communications capabilities include 24-hour emergency emer-gency service and access to e-mail, stock quotes, news headlines, weather and sports scores. The designers found great materials and put them all together togeth-er to make the cargo bed unique. When it opens at the touch of a button (on your key fob) you aa- in awe. The lockable, power-operated hard tonneau cover encloses the 4-by-8-foot cargo box, or trunk. It is side-hinged, raises to a height of 6 feet 8 inches . Dutch rear doors, which arc used instead of a conventional con-ventional liftgate we liked but they are not much to feel or hear. Your doubt the validity of them when you close them. The recovery of your saddles, golf clubs or even groceries from die aar is made difficult. I lard to climb into because no steps (CM and Chevy have them) and the top of the tonneau cover is difficult to avoid hitting.

Unlike the Chevrolet Avalanche and Cadillac Escalade EXT the Blackwood has a fixed bulkhead. The Avalanche and Cadillac have a removable bulkhead that is very . usable. On the interior of the Blackwood we find chrome on the door handles, han-dles, mirrors and fuel-filler door. On the outside we find the standard stan-dard fog and the low-profile, 18-inch 18-inch Michelin tias are mounted on machined aluminum wheels. We love the load-leveling hybrid airleaf-spring rear suspension. suspen-sion. Whether hauling a horse trailer or merely four adults the suspension system automatically adjusts to level your vehicle. The Blackwood handles well on the road. In fact it handles better than the Navigator we tested last year. Steering is more precise and delivers gixd wad feel to your hands. The Blackwood rides a sizable 138.5-inch wheelbase, measures 220.2 inches long overall and I c-Qf We're 1 TGearingUp VJ For The 02' f'fL Winter 4 Games Stock 's: Stock 's: 8, Jr 211SN ' K4 s J "Wow Look At This FORESTER" $29 Under Invoice NATE WADE SUBARU Dealer options could affect this price SUBARU 355-7571 neBeauty ofAllWheel Drive. ' 1207 So. Main stands 73.6 inches tall. Curb weight is 5,700 pounds. Towing capacity of the Blackwood is 8,700 pounds , Inside only four can ride. The luxury does not include the extra seating for six. In style you sit on bucket seats upholstered in black Connolly leather, and the interior is trimmed with dark-stained crystal crys-tal oak wood. To sooth back pain the front buckets include heat and add the power lumbar electric controls and voila- back pain is away! Behind the wheel you see you hold onto a wood-and-leather-trimmed steering wheel. For audiophiles included is a seven-speaker seven-speaker Alpine stereo system that has a six-CD changer. Cargo-box capacity is 26.5 cubic feet. At present one of the few options available is a CD-operated, voice-activated navigation system for an additional $l,995.Like those of others we have tested this needs some improvement. The Cadillac Escalade has more power but you will hardly worry about that in this luxurious Blackwood. In th fufure jye nn "LookAtHiis J OUTBACK" $ IV photo by Bruce Hubbard expect both Ford and GM to offer their Luxury editions with a diesel engine. At present demands for the diesel engines have limited offering offer-ing these engines. The same engine in the Navigator is used in the Blackwood. It is the 5.4-liter V-8 engine produces 300 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 355 pounds-feet of torque at 2,750 rpm. Mated to a four-speed-automatic transmission. transmis-sion. , Safety features including seat-mounted seat-mounted side-impact airbags are installed in the front. The rear seats have child-seat tether capability. Braking is ABS-Antilock brakes incorporate electronic brake-force ' distribution. In the future we expect even more in the way of electronics to be used in dynamic stability control. At present Lincoln feels that the limited slip differential differen-tial and traction control are adequate ade-quate for where most of the Blackwoods will travel.
