    The Blackwood had a power tonneau cover 3-4 years before they became common as accessories.

      The Blackwood had storage in the bed sides 10 years before the Ram Box. And a split tailgate eighteen years before the multifunction tailgates of 2019.

        Of course, it was a luxury pickup intended to be used as a family car — presaging the entire trend of luxury pickup trims. The average pickup these days is nicer than a luxury car.

          The Blackwood may have been a failure but the concept? That replaced the pickup as we knew it in the late ‘90s.
