  • Perfect size SUV with All Wheel Drive.

    We are pleased with the ride, quietness, and overall quality. AWD makes starts on snow and ice feel effortless and controlled. Great visibility, handling, and creature comforts make driving this vehicle a pleasure year around...heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel, panoramic moonroof...Six-speed automatic transmission with optional paddle shifters function smoothly along with the 3.7 litre V-6 to provide over 300 horses and fuel economy in the low to mid 20’s.

  • Wow!! This SUV is a honey!!

    The LMKX is a very good ride with interior comfort and the V-6 performance is plenty enough when you call for power. The exterior is just as stylish with the platinum dune color and chrome wheels. Wow I am glad I found this vehicle at a dealer out-of-state while visiting my brother. Have not been disappointed one iota!! Will enjoy this ride on a trip with good gas mileage for V-6! Ford/Lincoln will not disappoint!!

  • This car very comfortable. It has adaptive cruise.

    Adaptive cruise is very nice on the interstate. It slows down and speeds up on its on depending on traffic. It has plenty of horse power to run good.
