Lincoln Blackwood Performance Overview
Lincoln’s Blackwood performance record spans just 2002 to 2003, covering 6 verified tests across a single short-lived generation. In factory form, the pickup used a 300-hp InTech 5.4L DOHC V8 with gasoline power only, and the earliest benchmark came from the 2002 Crew Cab at 8.1 seconds to 60 mph. Other 2002 results stretched as slow as 9.2 seconds, establishing the model’s naturally aspirated baseline, while quarter-mile performance for the run averaged 16.17 seconds at 86.3 mph.
By 2003, the same basic platform produced the line’s quickest recorded numbers in Paxton-supercharged form, showing how forced induction changed the Blackwood’s acceleration profile. The 2003 Paxton Crew Cab cut 0-60 to 6.34 seconds, the quickest Blackwood result on record, and ran the quarter-mile in 14.74 seconds at 93.15 mph. That leaves the Blackwood’s performance story as a brief two-year arc from naturally aspirated 5.4-liter V8 truck pace to a substantially quicker supercharged variant, with today’s record defined entirely by those six tests and topped by the 2003 Paxton truck.

How we verify Lincoln Blackwood performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Lincoln Blackwood trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
