Lincoln Blackwood: Which Version to Buy and Why
The Lincoln Blackwood catalogue contains a single choice: the 5.9 AT. It belongs to the model’s only generation, produced from 2001 to 2002, and uses a Pickup double-cab body. Because the database lists only one generation and one version, there is no alternative engine, gearbox, drivetrain, or body style to compare.
Which Lincoln Blackwood version should you choose?
The Lincoln Blackwood catalogue contains a single choice: the 5.9 AT. It belongs to the model’s only generation, produced from 2001 to 2002, and uses a Pickup double-cab body. Because the database lists only one generation and one version, there is no alternative engine, gearbox, drivetrain, or body style to compare. Choosing a Blackwood therefore means deciding whether the specifications of the 5.9 AT suit your needs, rather than selecting between competing configurations.
The 5.9 AT combines a 5900 cm³ Gasoline engine with 300 hp, 355 Nm, a 4-speed Automatic gearbox, and RWD. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds and has a 95-litre fuel tank. Maximum speed, fuel consumption, weights, ground clearance, and wheel sizes are not measured in the supplied data.
Lincoln Blackwood generations and versions
The 1 generation ran from 2001 to 2002. It was offered as a Pickup double-cab and contains 1 version, the 5.9 AT. No other generation, restyling, or modification is listed, so there is no later Blackwood with a different engine or revised performance figures to choose instead.
This also means that a generation comparison produces no numerical differences: both the earliest and latest Blackwood entries belong to the same 1 generation, share the same Pickup double-cab body designation, and refer to the same 5.9 AT version.
Lincoln Blackwood engine and specs
| Version | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.9 AT | 300 hp (221 kW) at 5500 rpm | 355 Nm at 2750 rpm | 5900 cm³ | Gasoline, 95 | 8 | V-shaped | not measured | 4-speed Automatic | RWD |
The 5.9 AT has a front, longitudinal engine position and uses Distributed injection (multi-point). Its engine has 8 cylinders, a V-shaped layout, and 4 valves per cylinder. Boost is not measured, while the compression ratio and bore-and-stroke figures are also not measured.
For buyers comparing engine output relative to size, the 5.9 AT produces approximately 50.8 hp per litre from its 5900 cm³ displacement. Its specific torque is approximately 60.2 Nm per litre. Those calculations describe the only available engine, not an advantage over another Blackwood version.
Power and torque arrive at different engine speeds: the maximum 300 hp is stated at 5500 rpm, while the maximum 355 Nm is stated at 2750 rpm. The difference between those two listed engine speeds is 2750 rpm. Since there is no second version, buyers cannot trade this output profile for a smaller engine, a different gearbox, or another drive system within the Blackwood range.
Lincoln Blackwood performance, mpg, and economy
| Version | 0–100 km/h | Top speed | City consumption | Highway consumption | Combined consumption | CO₂ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.9 AT | 8.5 seconds | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
The 5.9 AT reaches 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds. Its maximum speed is not measured. City, highway, and combined fuel-consumption figures are not measured, so a supported mpg figure cannot be calculated from the supplied data. CO₂ emissions and environmental class are likewise not measured.
These omissions matter when deciding whether to buy this version. The available figures allow a buyer to compare power, torque, displacement, and acceleration, but they do not support a numerical running-cost or fuel-economy comparison. The 95-litre tank capacity is known, yet driving range cannot be calculated because fuel consumption is not measured.
Lincoln Blackwood dimensions, weight, and chassis specs
| Version | Kerb weight | Gross weight | Ground clearance | Fuel tank | Wheel sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.9 AT | not measured | not measured | not measured | 95 litres | not measured |
The 5.9 AT has a 95-litre fuel tank. Kerb weight and gross weight are not measured, so weight per horsepower cannot be calculated. Ground clearance and wheel sizes are also not measured.
The front suspension is Independent, spring. The rear-suspension specification is not measured. Braking hardware consists of Ventilated disc brakes at the front and Disc brakes at the rear.
Lincoln Blackwood reliability and problems data
Mechanical specifications alone do not establish reliability. The supplied data contains no failure rates, service records, maintenance intervals, recall information, or identified problems for the 5.9 AT. Reliability and common-problem claims would therefore be unsupported by this catalogue entry.
A prospective buyer can still verify that the vehicle matches the recorded factory configuration: 5900 cm³ Gasoline, 300 hp, 355 Nm, 8 cylinders, V-shaped, 4-speed Automatic, and RWD. Condition, maintenance history, and repair needs require vehicle-specific evidence because they are not measured here.
Final choice: is the 5.9 AT the version to buy?
The 5.9 AT is both the default and the only documented Lincoln Blackwood choice. There is no cheaper engine, more powerful modification, alternative transmission, or different drive layout in the supplied range, so extra money cannot be tied to an upgrade between catalogue versions. Likewise, there is no later generation whose changes can be compared numerically with the 1 generation.
Buyers should choose the 5.9 AT if their required specification is a Pickup double-cab with a 5900 cm³ Gasoline engine, 300 hp, 355 Nm, a 4-speed Automatic gearbox, and RWD. Its measurable performance case is the 8.5-second acceleration time to 100 km/h, supported by approximately 50.8 hp per litre. Buyers who require a different drivetrain, gearbox, engine output, or documented fuel-economy figure will not find an alternative within the Blackwood data: those choices either do not exist in the listed range or are not measured.
