I guess that as the only Blackwood owner that posts to this forum ( I think) I should weigh in and say something. First of all, if you NEED a pickup truck, this is not for you. The bed is impractical for hauling lumber, totally useless. You can't even tie a sheet of plywood to the roof like you could with a Mark VIII
HOWEVER.....If you want something in a truck that is EXTREMELY comfortable to drive, with really nice leather seats (heated and air conditioned), a killer sound system, power moon roof,along with every other imaginable option,a trick suspension, a 300 hp. engine that does OK stock but comes alive with a few mods, you might want to take another look.
It turns heads at every stoplight. People cross the street to see the power toneau work. The bed fits everything that I've needed to haul so far, and if you want to see something funny, watch the look that the truck gets when you open the bed at night and the fiber optic lights light up the stainless steel body panels,Oh, by the way, it has plenty of balls to tow any boat.
Guess what. Since only 2500 or so hit the streets, there is a better than average chance that it will be worth more than a "real" 02 SUV down the road.
Like my 'Wood just fine thanks. :Beer
