These guys have been doing this conversion for at least a year that I know of. It is completely bolt-on from what I've been told.

My thoughts exactly.I like it a lot, although I think it would look far better in a more "QX suitable" color. Black, white, or silver would be a huge improvement.

I do. Mark LT would be at the top of my list if I was in the market for a new Pickup. Followed by the Titan.And the Mark LT really isn't much more expensive. On paper, a Mark LT and F-150 with as close to identical options as possible are only about $2000 different. I'd much rather have the Mark LT for the price difference.

I would totally take an LT over an F-150 for $2000 more, but I think they put some pretty crazy incentives on the F-150 so there ends up being a much greater price difference between the two. I would take a Titan LE over any other pick up though, that is just me, followed by of course the Toyota Tundra.

You couldn't pay me to drive either generation of Tundra...but like you said, that's just me.

Looking at the QX Titan picture, I think it really needs a different front bumper. The shape, size, and plasticness just don't fit with the rest of the truck. It needs a more traditional-looking chromed steel bumper.

My cousin drives a 2nd gen Escalade and I'm thoroughly unimpressed. I'm a big Cadillac fan, but the Escalade does nothing for me. The interior is not up to Cadillac standards by any means. It really just feels like a Tahoe or Suburban with leather seats. The new ones may be nicer, I haven't seen the interior to compare.Also, unlike the Mark LT, the Escalate EXT doesn't have a separate bed. That's a big minus for anyone intending to use the truck for real truck purposes. You can get a full-length bed on the Mark LT now, too, so there's another bonus.

The Lincoln is much nicer inside and really feels like a Lincoln. I'd rather have a last-gen Navigator than an Escalade, too. I don't like the current Navigator, though. Ford appears to have forgotten that the 1980s ended almost 20 years ago when they designed the latest Navigator.

cheers, my pops has a 3rd gen 06' navigator..IMHO its the best interior of any SUV out there, and yes the 2nd gen Escalade interiors are distasteful. Its no different than a base model Silverado, just has a few "wood" trimmings. The new 4th generations aren't all that bad though, interior is a little better and you get the robust 6.2L votech.

I agree on the Latest Navi, it does not look appealing at all, they should have kept the traditional waterfall grille, the new grill makes it look cheap and reminds me of an Amanti.
