Lincoln Mark LT

Lincoln Mark LT generations: what actually changed

The calendar overlap in 2009 is in the source dates: 1 generation runs to 2009-12-31 and 2 generation starts 2009-01-01. A truck from that year is identified by the version name (5.4 AT vs 5.0 AT), not by the calendar year alone.

1 generation (2005–2009). Pickup double-cab. One version: 5.4 AT. Engine 5408 cm³, 304 hp (224 kW) at 5000 rpm, 481 Nm at 2750 rpm, 3 valves per cylinder, compression 9.8, bore × stroke 90.2 × 105.9, fuel 95, engine location Front, longitudinal, 0–100 km/h 8.8 s. Ground clearance not measured. Wheel sizes not measured.

2 generation (2009–2014). Pickup double-cab. One version: 5.0 AT. Engine 4951 cm³, 360 hp (265 kW) at 5500 rpm, 515 Nm at 4250 rpm, 4 valves per cylinder, compression 10.5, bore × stroke not measured, fuel 92, engine location not measured, 0–100 km/h not measured, ground clearance 220 mm. Wheel sizes not measured.

The calendar overlap in 2009 is in the source dates: 1 generation runs to 2009-12-31 and 2 generation starts 2009-01-01. A truck from that year is identified by the version name (5.4 AT vs 5.0 AT), not by the calendar year alone.

What did not change between generations: body type (Pickup double-cab), drive (AWD), gearbox type and count (Automatic, 4), tank (114 l), kerb mass (2645 kg), gross mass (3266 kg), payload (3266 − 2645 = 621 kg), top speed (170 km/h), boost (No), fuel system (Distributed injection (multi-point)), cylinder count and layout (8, V-shaped), front and rear suspension (Independent, spring / Independent, spring), front and rear brakes (Disc / Disc). Those equalities are the baseline; the buying decision sits in the numbers that moved.

Lincoln Mark LT specs and engine options: side-by-side

Lincoln Mark LT engine size. 5.4 AT is 5408 cm³; 5.0 AT is 4951 cm³. The later engine is 457 cm³ smaller (about 8.5% less displacement) and still makes more power.

Lincoln Mark LT horsepower and torque. 5.0 AT adds 56 hp (360 − 304) and 41 kW (265 − 224) over 5.4 AT. Peak torque rises 34 Nm (515 − 481). Peak power on 5.4 AT is at 5000 rpm; on 5.0 AT it is at 5500 rpm — 500 rpm higher. Peak torque on 5.4 AT is at 2750 rpm; on 5.0 AT it is at 4250 rpm — 1500 rpm higher. The first-generation engine delivers its torque peak earlier in the rev range; the second-generation engine delivers more torque, but later.

Power per litre (from the given displacement and hp).

• 5.4 AT: 304 hp / 5.408 l ≈ 56.2 hp per litre.
• 5.0 AT: 360 hp / 4.951 l ≈ 72.7 hp per litre.

That is about 16.5 hp per litre more specific output on 5.0 AT, with compression 10.5 versus 9.8 (+0.7) and 4 valves per cylinder versus 3 (32 valves versus 24 on an 8-cylinder). Boost remains No on both.

Lincoln Mark LT weight versus power. Kerb mass is the same 2645 kg on both versions.

• 5.4 AT: 2645 / 304 ≈ 8.70 kg per hp.
• 5.0 AT: 2645 / 360 ≈ 7.35 kg per hp.

5.0 AT carries about 1.35 kg less mass per horsepower. Gross mass is also identical (3266 kg), so payload is identical (621 kg). Extra power on the later truck is not paid for with extra listed mass.

Fuel grade. 5.4 AT is specified for 95; 5.0 AT for 92. That is a real operating difference in the data: the later version is listed on the lower octane label.

Engine location. 5.4 AT: Front, longitudinal. 5.0 AT: not measured. Do not treat the later engine as “the same layout” in writing; the source does not state it.

Bore and stroke. 5.4 AT: 90.2 × 105.9. 5.0 AT: not measured.

Searches for “2006 Lincoln Mark LT engine”, “2007 Lincoln Mark LT engine”, and “2008 Lincoln Mark LT engine” all map to the same named version in this catalogue: 5.4 AT. There is no second first-generation engine option in the data. Searches for a 2014 truck map to 5.0 AT. There is no 2026 model in the production dates (2005–2014).

Lincoln Mark LT performance, mpg, and what is not measured

0–100 km/h. 5.4 AT: 8.8 s. 5.0 AT: not measured. You cannot claim the later truck is quicker from a standstill from this table; you only know it has 56 more hp, 34 more Nm, and the same 2645 kg. The acceleration figure for 5.0 AT is not measured.

Top speed. Both 5.4 AT and 5.0 AT: 170 km/h. The extra 56 hp does not raise the listed maximum.

Lincoln Mark LT mpg / gas mileage. City, highway, and combined consumption: not measured for 5.4 AT and not measured for 5.0 AT. CO₂: not measured. Eco class: not measured. Queries for 2006 / 2007 / 2008 mpg have no number in this source; saying “not measured” is the catalogue answer, not an omission.

Lincoln Mark LT engine problems / reliability / engine swap. This dataset does not record failure rates, service campaigns, or swap compatibility. Those topics are not measured here. What the numbers do show: both engines are naturally aspirated (boost No), both use Distributed injection (multi-point), both are 8-cylinder V-shaped Gasoline units driving AWD through an Automatic 4-speed. Reliability claims beyond that are outside the data.

Lincoln Mark LT dimensions, weight, bed, tires, interior

Weight. 5.4 AT and 5.0 AT share kerb 2645 kg and gross 3266 kg. 2006 and 2008 weight searches resolve to the same kerb and gross as every other year in 1 generation, because only one first-generation version is listed.

Ground clearance. 5.0 AT: 220 mm. 5.4 AT: not measured. A 220 mm figure belongs only to the second-generation 5.0 AT.

Tank. 114 l on both.

Wheel / tire size. Not measured on 5.4 AT. Not measured on 5.0 AT.

Length, bed size, overall dimensions, interior measurements. Not measured for either version. Interior searches have no cabin millimetres in this source.

Brakes and suspension. Identical labels on both versions: Independent, spring front and rear; Disc front and rear.

Which Lincoln Mark LT version to choose

There are two versions, not a ladder of trims. The arithmetic is the decision.

Choose 5.4 AT (1 generation, 2005–2009) if you want the only version in this catalogue with a measured 0–100 km/h time (8.8 s), a stated engine position (Front, longitudinal), a stated bore × stroke (90.2 × 105.9), and peak torque at 2750 rpm rather than 4250 rpm. You accept 304 hp instead of 360 hp, 481 Nm instead of 515 Nm, 56.2 hp/l instead of 72.7 hp/l, 8.70 kg/hp instead of 7.35 kg/hp, 3 valves per cylinder instead of 4, compression 9.8 instead of 10.5, fuel 95 instead of 92, and ground clearance not measured. Displacement is the larger of the two (5408 vs 4951 cm³). Top speed, AWD, Automatic 4, tank, kerb, gross, payload, body type, boost, and injection type match the later truck.

Choose 5.0 AT (2 generation, 2009–2014) if you want the higher output: +56 hp, +41 kW, +34 Nm, +16.5 hp per litre, −1.35 kg per hp, +0.7 compression, +1 valve per cylinder, and listed fuel 92. Ground clearance is the only generation with a measured figure (220 mm). You accept that 0–100 km/h is not measured, engine location is not measured, bore × stroke is not measured, and the torque peak is 1500 rpm later. Top speed stays 170 km/h. Mass and payload do not change. Consumption, CO₂, eco class, wheels, length, bed, and interior size remain not measured, same as 5.4 AT.

What the later engine “buys” in this table (no prices in the data). Same 2645 kg, same 621 kg payload, same 114 l tank, same AWD, same Automatic 4, same 170 km/h — plus 56 hp and 34 Nm from 457 cm³ less displacement. The second generation is a more specific-output Gasoline 8 on the same listed mass, not a heavier truck and not a faster listed top-speed truck. It is also the generation whose acceleration is not measured, so the extra horsepower is not converted here into a second 0–100 number.

Years people search (2006, 2007, 2008, 2014). 2006–2008 sit inside 1 generation and the only matching version name is 5.4 AT. 2014 sits inside 2 generation and the only matching version name is 5.0 AT. There is no third engine option and no 2026 production date in the source.

Price / for sale / near me. Not in this dataset; not used.

Bottom line. If the measured sprint and the earlier torque peak matter, 5.4 AT is the only version that states 8.8 s and 481 Nm at 2750 rpm. If listed output, specific output, kg per hp, valve count, compression, fuel 92, and 220 mm clearance matter, 5.0 AT is the later and stronger of the two, with the same weight, drive, gearbox count, tank, and top speed as 5.4 AT.
