Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2003 Blackwood.
The 2003 Lincoln Blackwood represents the final iteration of the marque's only foray into the full-size luxury pickup segment, a limited two-year run that produced this truck with a four-speed automatic transmission and EPA fuel economy ratings of 11 city, 16 highway, and 13 combined miles per gallon; as the concluding model year of a program that would not continue beyond 2003, the 2003 Blackwood occupies a singular position in Lincoln's historical lineup as both the culmination and the conclusion of this niche offering.
