2010 Lincoln MKT

With continuous efforts to reduce mass and boost fuel economy, Ford is fitting its 2010 Lincoln MKT with a liftgate composed of automotive aluminum and other lightweight materials, the first such combination to be utilized in North American automotive production. Increased auto aluminum use is part of Ford’s plan to subtract between 250 to 750 pounds of weight per vehicle over the next 10 years in order to meet more stringent fuel economy standards.                                                                                                    Source: Ford Motor Company Newsroom
