The Navigator is an upscale version of the Ford Expedition. To make certain the two are never confused, the Lincoln Navigator wears one of the most boldly styled front ends on the market. The upscale interior is finished in leather, wood and satin-nickel finishes. Third row seats are can be folded automatically. A power liftgate is available to ease loading and unloading the cargo area. The standard 300-bhp 5.4L V-8 is equipped with a 6-speed automatic. Towing capacity is up to 9,100 lbs. Although full-size SUVs have become popular as family haulers, their only real advantage is the higher tow ratings. Full-size SUVs with truck underpinnings are robbed of interior space with the body mounted over the frame. Modern FWD-biased SUVs offer similar interior room with improved maneuverability, cargo capacity and fuel efficiency for far less money.
