@@dirtynails7582 Yeah, kinda. I think they should go more sporty, bring back sedans, and focus on better mechanics. Lincoln is not known for its great mechanical properties. They break down ALL the time.
As full size luxury SUVs go I have a tie for my two favorite the Lincoln Navigator and the Mercedes-Benz GLS I think the biggest problem with the Escalade is it's not all that distinctive from its other gm SUVs and when you pay over 80k for one having an Escalade that looks like a suburban is not a good thought to have
HopAlong09 couldn’t agree more. If I can’t get the Culinan (which looks insane on the road having finally saw one), give me the Caddy. Back to being the standard....
Test drove both last week with the wife (her car). I liked the Escalade and what they did on the new model. The tech was amazing in this high end model. However, she decided on the Navigator mainly because she felt the interior was more open and the material and comfort of the Navigator’s seats are amazing. Both nice cars but I wanted her to try both before deciding. I did have her watch this video before we shopped. She was leaning Caddy, but couldn’t compete with the Lincoln’s interior at the end.
I have owned both, and I can tell you that more people may initially be impressed with the Escalade's infotainment screens, but that's about where the gimmicks end on the Escalade. The Navigator is a LOT more comfortable in all 3 rows of seating, and has a much more usable front center console AND a 2nd row console. Also, the 3.5 Ecoboost is WAY more responsive and powerful than the 6.2L V8 in the Escalade. It's crazy how they both have the same transmission and similar power numbers on paper, but in real world applications the Navigator gets up and MOVES by comparison.
@@samsigrest7509 Cadillacs highest trim is still no where near the Lincoln’s if you sat in the new Escalade or Yukon Denali you can tell immediately there is no competition when it comes to that
I've had the pleasure of experiencing both the Cadillac for 3 years and with only having the Navigator for less than a week I honestly say the Navigator takes the Cake! The rear center console is fantastic in the Navigator! The V6 has more power better mileage and doesn't require premium gas.
Love the dash cluster on the Escalade but I have to say the navigator interior is much more Royal and love how the navigator symbol comes out of the grill and lights up
I still love the Navigator to this day! Looks very elegant and classy. The interior looks of higher quality, the exterior is more luxurious styled and it just gives an overall more premium experience. I'm glad that Cadillac FINALLY updated the Escalade, but I'd still go with the Navigator for the time being.
You can't judge it from the video, personally I've been in a Navigator and the quality of the interior wasn't that good, I'm not saying that it is bad, but comparing to the price you'll pay it should be way better. So I believe that the new Escalade's interior will be way better quality because it is already better in the previous generation.
Lol. There’s no way the interior of the Lincoln with all that shiny plastic chrome is of “better quality” than the new Escalade. The reviewer literally covered this, not to mention you can look at the interiors and see the difference in attention to detail. There isn’t a SUV in this entire segment with a rear and as forgettable and ugly as the new Lincoln Navigator’s exterior design, so I’ll have to also disagree with the exteriors being a “tie”. Lincoln fans are delusional.
Exactly, Cadillac had three years with this Navigator to provide a response to Ford’s offering. They gave it a cool dash screen and BMW inspired interior.
Raymond Altinzi The same could be said about the Navigator in 2018 when it was brand new from the ground up but people directly compared it to the outgoing 2015 model Cadillac Escalade which was 4+ years old at the time. Lol. BMW inspired interior? Most definitely. BMW has developed one of the most intuitive infotainment experiences on the market and have since gone to a more arguably “Cadillac style” interior with *touchscreen displays.* Cadillac is listening to their customers.
@@mybro727 agreed. People compared the 2018 navigator with the 2015 Escalade back in 2018 lol. But now they get butt hurt when people compare the navigator with the new 2021 Escalade Saying Its unfair to compare them since navigator is older lol but Imo I love the older gen Escalade front end tho
The black out look is because its the sports trim which commentator forgot to mention. The non sport trim has chrome grill and sides and color scheme for interior is totally different..have to give this a thumbs down since he should've noted what the trim level was..
The Navigator is already looking like an old design inside and out. I’m not a fan of the Cadillacs outside design, but inside it is beautiful. Cadillac wins. I also like a real shifter, not push buttons or a rotary design.
I agree with you 100% bro. I'm so disappointed with the outside design of the Caddilac but the inside cockpit with the features is definitely better. The lincoln does look outdated bro. I hate that stupid sound that u hear every time u open the door like u hear in all Fords too..lol..
GM V8 engines are the worst of the worst. Lifter tick since New pretty much thanks to MDS horrible design. I won’t buy a GM just because of how bad the LS engines are. Pieces of shit. Nothing like a HEMI those are real reliable long lasting engines.
bugoy kikay they sure are Ford engines are pieces of shit the infamous 5.4 that shoots out spark plugs and GM follows right behind with the lifter ticking oil sucking 5.3 vortec and the 6.1 is the same piece of shit just with different heads. Ford and GM are the most unreliable pieces of shit. That’s why I only buy Mopar products. A Hemi with regular oil changes will outlive a 5.4 triton and a 5.3 Vortec put together any day. And don’t get me started on Cummins engines.
mperez564, yeah...Corvette V8s are Legendary are are still racing...but shit. Cadillac V8s are racing in IMSA and Le Mans...they kicking ass, but you think they’re shit. All those SS’ GTOs, 442s, GS’ all had crap engines. Corvette Racing & Cadillac Racing are the elite in Proto1 and GTLM Racing against: Acura, Porsche, BMW, Ferrari and Ford and Mazda just to name a few. Mopar is not represented, not even with the slower cars...Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Lexus, McLaren, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. Where is Mopar and their HEMI power...btw these are mostly stock engines so Dodge should have one entry. Including Mopar with the Fiat Family is an embarrassment, I’d hate for Alfa Romeo to be sold within 5 feet of a Charger, Challenger or Pacifica. Jeep was already great so Mopar had nothing to do with that, Dodge just copied Jeep products. They need to take more advantage of their relationship with Daimler, Mercedes refuses to acknowledge their cars have Mopar parts...I don’t blame them.
Wow. I said In my head “Cadillac all the way!” Then I turned my iPhone upright to add a comment and this was the first thing I saw! Omg that’s so crazy.
Because they steal it from the cargo area. Cadillac likely knows that the 3rd row is second in priority over the cargo space, which definitely is backed up in the sheer number of units they sell over all of their competitors.
@@hellkitty1014 but in the Escalade you get the lovely third row experience of sitting with your knees in your mouth unlike the Navigator. That Navigator in that video has 103.3 cubic feet of trunk space. The Escalade has only 94.2 cubic feet. The Escalade is 211.9 inches long while the Navigator is 210 inches long.
I will admit, with the seats the cargo area in my '20 Navigator is absurdly small. However, I put them down anyways with a premium cargo carpet mat for that model. I rarely even need 4 seats, let alone 7, and I have an enormous elegant trunk. In the rare case I need 7, I'd just fold them up.
@@Forever.Remain.Nameless how does the new one look old? It looks newer than some of the newest cars. I have an 05 and it aged perfect. I’ve gotten compliments from non car people saying they wouldn’t have guessed it was an 05
I wish that was true but my Denali had problems with lifters and I switched up to the Escalade after that and had excessive oil consumption issues that were never figured out by the dealer. No leaks just mysteriously consuming oil at about a quart every 1500 miles. Just got my second navigator after having replaced the caddy with my first twin turbo navigator that gave 120K of trouble free driving. The other bonus is the power difference too. The navigator is quicker to respond and has more power/torque at a lower RPM.
I have always been a Navigator guy but I think Cadillac has the Navigator beat. I've owned several Navigators over the years and with the new design of the Escalade for me, the Cadillac has a better overall look.
Everytime I say this, Escalade owners get upset. Look at the Escalade, GMC Yukon Denali and Chevy Tahoe. It really is basically the same vehicle just rebranded
@@Xemantic Escalade is better than navigator in every way... this and several video also prove that... Then also they are choosing navigator just for its classic interior..

@@marlonelmorefreedomisoursn9744 yes it does. Infact if you are in a parking garage, you can see the logo lights up with the lights as you approach it.
@@UProductions457 wow it seems like the navigator is the new benchmark beautiful even when you see them on the road they look elegant the only downside to it is the engine choice but I don't think you would complain when you can't hear it being that you're surrounded by so much luxury LOL but I do hope they would add a diesel engine two it's lineup after all why Australia and India should enjoy diesel engine Fords and not America
@@IanA96 Wow now that you mention that I can definitely see the German influence. It does resemble a Mercedes gla class but larger without bowed out fenders and wide wheels.
@@JTL-uv6cm so only four years for a vehicle that doesn't sell well, and you see why Ford is going bankrupt pretty smart from a company that doesn't have money to spend.
Navi all the way! I trust the Ford power more! Aluminum body is the way to go in Michigan. 4x4 is better than Awd the Escalade always seems old to me and the caddy depreciates much faster
I really like the Lincoln but I don't know how the new Escalade is going to be but from the latest Escalade the Lincoln was a lot better thanks for the video
Well, the Escalade looks like a SUV versión of Optimus Prime with those grand cherokee like head lights and the Navigator looks like a super big Kia. But I like them both.
Nah, I’d also prefer GM’s tuning of the 10-speed transmission, the 6.2L V8 over Ford’s Eco-boosted V6, and the bolder exterior design of the Escalade over the Black Whale 🐳 look on that Nav. but that’s just me.🤷🏾♂️
Unknown 000 Agreed. I saw a photo of a Black ESV Sport on GMA. Idk what he sees but Cadillac got their proportions right my friend! This thing looks worlds better than the Navigator’s goofy exterior design. I just saw a Blacked out Navigator and it was nice but Not even close. Here’s the ESV.cadillacsociety.com/wp-content/gallery/2021-cadillac-escalade-esv/2021-Cadillac-Escalade-ESV-Sport-on-streets-Exterior-February-2020-001.jpg
Gotta go with the Escalade. Love it, inside and out! The Navigator exterior design falls a bit short for me. The biggest short coming is the rear, looks like a hearse. Ford, in this case Lincoln always plays it too safe. They're usually 3 to 5 years behind in exterior design.
I've heard Ford is going to soon give Lincoln more self autonamy on their designs to become a stand out Lux brand to hopefully sever the stigma from the past of being simply re-badged Ford models. We'll see where they go.
That should be a good move for Lincoln. They need some healthy separation from Ford. It would be great if Lincoln can accomplish what Lexus has as a luxury brand.
@@mysteriousways8570 Dont buy American cars period if you want something realiable. Either buy a Lexus if you plan to keep it or lease a German luxury car. Either way is a lot better than buying cheap unreliable cheeseburgers on wheels.
I feel like the Escalade is for more younger/hip people, the Navigator is for older more boogie people lol So I’m going with the Escalade now that I’m young. When I turn 45 I’ll go with the Navigator.
I just love the classiness of the Navigator. The Escalade is nice but doesn’t seem as grown up to me. But either way they would be choice 1 and 2 respectively if I was in the market
I would choose Escalade - design, style, engine & tech all place it on a pinnacle above anything else - and may even have a pricing advantage over the Navigator. Esthetically, Escalade signals a consequential presence in a way Cadillac has always sought - but now actually does with this massive and luxurious model. You guys continue to do great work with cars on this channel, and I’ve recommended you to several friends who are still looking at possible choices & are in the tire kicking stage. Best wishes to you both!
You too! Looked at one of your “blooper” uploads from awhile back - you guys have come a long way!! Hope you’ll do something similar for crazy 2020!! 😷
The Escalade is a grand mixture of tech and luxury. And the Navigator is pure classic luxury. I like both. And I can’t imagine what the next generation Navigator would do to outplay the Escalade 😂😎
@@elijahdorce3183 ok hold your breath on that, that vehicle doesn't make money for Ford, its redesign 2018, couldn't outsell the old Escalade, i doubt they'll put in money on a vehicle with less than four years to redesigning so soon. You want it because you know the Escalade is better.
Terry Dixon Terry, of course the Escalade is better. I just think the Navigator would have potential to upgrade on a few things to make as good as the Escalade. It’s car manufacturing 101, ma boi.
@@elijahdorce3183 The Navigator is due for a refresh but regardless, this vehicle will not touch the '21 Escalade. Lincoln refresh the Navigator in '15 when the 4th generation Escalade came out and that vehicle could not put a dent in sales. So Lincoln needs a brand new redesign which they won't be in too hurry to bring like they did the last generation model which had an 11 year life cyle.
The only thing that work is the infotainment. The screen is small, laggy, and in a very old aspect ratio. Other than that, I hope they keep the interior unchanged for the most part. Young hippies are not the demographic of a luxury vehicle.
I would go with the Navigator but upgrade to a V-8 (through Pax Power or Hennessey) or diesel. Sorry, no Ecoboost. But, I wouldn't say No to an Escalade. Props to GM for keeping the V-8 around. .
Ford downfall is forcing that ecojunk down everyone throats. I agree put that 5.2 voodoo engine in the Navi asap as the Germans is laughing at Ford bragging about a ecojunk motor with fake rumble noises pump through speakers
Definitely the Navigator, I'm a Lincoln mks man, And I must say this is me second 1. I don't want to drive anything else, can't wait till I can afford a Navigator
The Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, and the Cadillac Escalade account for 50% of all large SUV sales in the US. GM makes 340,000 of them every year and exports about 80,000 to 31 countries. They’re made in GM’s plant in Arlington, Texas, which is said to be the most profitable assembly plant in the world. We estimate they generate $20 billion in revenue for GM and about $4 billion in profits. Autoline Daily.
The Navigator that was in the video is Navigator I have only the 2020. I am honestly looking at the Cadillac. She just looks meaner and the interior screen is ridiculous!!!
I wouldn't say so ford has it bad of not lasting long when it come to reliability they break down easily and they have better quality depending on what vehicle trim you choose just like ford
I bought a Lincoln and it’s just amazing ride and power to be a v6 engine and there engines last forever but I like Cadillac front grill and long classic led lights you couldn’t go wrong with either one to be honest
I'm just proud lincoln has came a long way in the last few years. They were almost dead grandma cars for a long time.

So stop choosing that ford vehicle...😂😂😂 Not always, ford has a winning point... Criticise it sometimes...
Lincoln!! Love the EcoBoost
I would definitely take the Escalade! 👌🏻
Gator all day baby! just bought one on Saturday and loving it!
Wow man does the Lincoln emblem protrudes from the grill and does it light up at night
@@marlonelmorefreedomisoursn9744 yes it does. Infact if you are in a parking garage, you can see the logo lights up with the lights as you approach it.
@@UProductions457 wow it seems like the navigator is the new benchmark beautiful even when you see them on the road they look elegant the only downside to it is the engine choice but I don't think you would complain when you can't hear it being that you're surrounded by so much luxury LOL but I do hope they would add a diesel engine two it's lineup after all why Australia and India should enjoy diesel engine Fords and not America
@@marlonelmorefreedomisoursn9744Me too. If they upped their reliability too, I would definitely get one.
I'll still take the Lincoln. I like the contemporary luxury it has.
I'd definitely go with the Escalade!
Escalade takes the win
The Caddy has American styling with large presence and the Navigator looks like a Hyundai or asian design. I'll go with the Caddy 👍🔥
Nah! Navigator raised the bar with this model back in 2018.
@@maxmx767 2004 navigator were the best
Lincoln actually asked German auto manufacturer's to help their re-design.
@@IanA96 Wow now that you mention that I can definitely see the German influence. It does resemble a Mercedes gla class but larger without bowed out fenders and wide wheels.
This comparison videos are fun!!!
Thank you for this amazing video👌🏻👌🏻
I'll pick Escalade.
I must admit, the Escalade is nice, but I'm a Navigator kinda woman!
My mom also is a Navigator-type woman
@@raulmontes37 ur mum gay
I’m expecting this video to blow up. At least 1Mili views. Good luck 👍 (team caddy btw)
Let's hope so haha
Both are eye catchers but give me the Cadillac that rear beats the navigator. And they definitely improved it from the previous generation.
Just wait till navigator refresh! They better not ruin it
It was just redesigned in 2018?
Terry Dixon supposedly it’s getting a a massive refresh for 2022 Model year. Same with the Expedition.
@@JTL-uv6cm so only four years for a vehicle that doesn't sell well, and you see why Ford is going bankrupt pretty smart from a company that doesn't have money to spend.
Terry Dixon not the whole vehicle, I believe it’s just the rear end and front fascia and also the interior
Terry Dixon not the whole vehicle, I believe it’s just the rear end and front fascia and also the interior
I'm voting Navigator, Escalade is just too boxy!
@Hamza Islam Luxury cars aren't supposed to have 400 screens like the Escalade. Luxury cars are supposed to be simple and classy.
Thank you so much for making this comparison
Glad you enjoyed! 😁
Been a Lincoln guy since mid 80’s still can’t go wrong with a Lincoln. Don’t get it twisted though that Escalade is super nice.
Definitely the Cadillac for the win!
Navi all the way! I trust the Ford power more! Aluminum body is the way to go in Michigan. 4x4 is better than Awd the Escalade always seems old to me and the caddy depreciates much faster
@Hamza Islam Thats like saying coffee is old and outdated just because people have drank it for so long. Coffee is still amazing. Why replace it?
I really like the Lincoln but I don't know how the new Escalade is going to be but from the latest Escalade the Lincoln was a lot better thanks for the video
I'm a Ford and Lincoln guy but must admit the tech on that Caddy is amazing. Lincoln needs to step thing up asap.
Well, the Escalade looks like a SUV versión of Optimus Prime with those grand cherokee like head lights and the Navigator looks like a super big Kia. But I like them both.
Kia??
The interior of the escalade does it for me. Otherwise, I'd choose the Lincoln
Nah, I’d also prefer GM’s tuning of the 10-speed transmission, the 6.2L V8 over Ford’s Eco-boosted V6, and the bolder exterior design of the Escalade over the Black Whale 🐳 look on that Nav. but that’s just me.🤷🏾♂️
@@mybro727 eh, the escalade's exterior has weird proportions and looks kind of cartoonish. But that's just me 🤷🏿♂️
Kyron theres another sport version which would change the design
@@Unknown-sf6cs the sport definitely looks better than the silver mesh imo. I can agree with that
Unknown 000 Agreed. I saw a photo of a Black ESV Sport on GMA. Idk what he sees but Cadillac got their proportions right my friend! This thing looks worlds better than the Navigator’s goofy exterior design. I just saw a Blacked out Navigator and it was nice but Not even close. Here’s the ESV.cadillacsociety.com/wp-content/gallery/2021-cadillac-escalade-esv/2021-Cadillac-Escalade-ESV-Sport-on-streets-Exterior-February-2020-001.jpg
Gotta go with the Escalade. Love it, inside and out! The Navigator exterior design falls a bit short for me. The biggest short coming is the rear, looks like a hearse.
Ford, in this case Lincoln always plays it too safe. They're usually 3 to 5 years behind in exterior design.
I've heard Ford is going to soon give Lincoln more self autonamy on their designs to become a stand out Lux brand to hopefully sever the stigma from the past of being simply re-badged Ford models. We'll see where they go.
That should be a good move for Lincoln. They need some healthy separation from Ford. It would be great if Lincoln can accomplish what Lexus has as a luxury brand.
@@IanA96 That’s great for Lincoln but Cadillac will launch an Escalade EV in 2023!
@@justinsmith2598 I'm sure Ford will follow suit. I've read they got with Volkswagen to make EV's together.
@@IanA96 GM partnered up with Honda also
Caddy for me.
Chevy Guy hope it doesn’t break down on you
@@mysteriousways8570 Dont buy American cars period if you want something realiable. Either buy a Lexus if you plan to keep it or lease a German luxury car. Either way is a lot better than buying cheap unreliable cheeseburgers on wheels.
I feel like the Escalade is for more younger/hip people, the Navigator is for older more boogie people lol
So I’m going with the Escalade now that I’m young.
When I turn 45 I’ll go with the Navigator.
I was never a big fan of the Escalade, but I have to say this new one is beautiful inside and out. The interior is spot on.
Damn. That new navi is insane 🔥
I just love the classiness of the Navigator. The Escalade is nice but doesn’t seem as grown up to me. But either way they would be choice 1 and 2 respectively if I was in the market
Yes I was waiting for one of these videos!!!!!!! Thank you!
Have a great Labor Day!
This is the best comparison of the 2 vehicles that I've seen to date. Thumbs up for the video bro
Thank you! 👍
I would choose Escalade - design, style, engine & tech all place it on a pinnacle above anything else - and may even have a pricing advantage over the Navigator. Esthetically, Escalade signals a consequential presence in a way Cadillac has always sought - but now actually does with this massive and luxurious model. You guys continue to do great work with cars on this channel, and I’ve recommended you to several friends who are still looking at possible choices & are in the tire kicking stage. Best wishes to you both!
Thanks man! Have an awesome labor day!
You too! Looked at one of your “blooper” uploads from awhile back - you guys have come a long way!! Hope you’ll do something similar for crazy 2020!! 😷
Lincoln came with their own work though
Escalade ESV steps into the room.
Lincoln Navigator returns back to its cubicle.
The Escalade is a grand mixture of tech and luxury. And the Navigator is pure classic luxury. I like both. And I can’t imagine what the next generation Navigator would do to outplay the Escalade 😂😎
Can't be anytime soon, it was just redesigned in 2018.
Terry Dixon It’s Ford, ma boi. It’s gonna be as soon as maybe 2022 or 23
@@elijahdorce3183 ok hold your breath on that, that vehicle doesn't make money for Ford, its redesign 2018, couldn't outsell the old Escalade, i doubt they'll put in money on a vehicle with less than four years to redesigning so soon. You want it because you know the Escalade is better.
Terry Dixon Terry, of course the Escalade is better. I just think the Navigator would have potential to upgrade on a few things to make as good as the Escalade. It’s car manufacturing 101, ma boi.
@@elijahdorce3183 The Navigator is due for a refresh but regardless, this vehicle will not touch the '21 Escalade. Lincoln refresh the Navigator in '15 when the 4th generation Escalade came out and that vehicle could not put a dent in sales. So Lincoln needs a brand new redesign which they won't be in too hurry to bring like they did the last generation model which had an 11 year life cyle.
I own 2006 navigator and if my next vehicle to buy would be still the same navigator. I am 100% happy.
You guys continue to kill it!!!! Thank you for this review
A updated dashboard with bigger screens will transform the Navigator!
Oled screens, power boost. That is what the Navigator needs.
The only thing that work is the infotainment. The screen is small, laggy, and in a very old aspect ratio. Other than that, I hope they keep the interior unchanged for the most part. Young hippies are not the demographic of a luxury vehicle.
Escalade all day....💯
The Cadieeee. Its the most beautiful and i find the curve display the coolest thing ive ever seen in a car.
big ford fan but i’d take the escalade
Probably the escalede because of the big curved screen and touch and better resolution, even more space in the back
I would go with the Navigator but upgrade to a V-8 (through Pax Power or Hennessey) or diesel. Sorry, no Ecoboost.
But, I wouldn't say No to an Escalade. Props to GM for keeping the V-8 around.
.
I swear they’d sell more trucks if it had the GT500 5.2 in it
Have you drove the TT V6 yet? Tbh it’s amazing
Ford downfall is forcing that ecojunk down everyone throats. I agree put that 5.2 voodoo engine in the Navi asap as the Germans is laughing at Ford bragging about a ecojunk motor with fake rumble noises pump through speakers
@@ace-lo1nq Ummm the germans do it too...
German for sound actuator
Definitely the Navigator, I'm a Lincoln mks man, And I must say this is me second 1. I don't want to drive anything else, can't wait till I can afford a Navigator
@Frankie Basile That Excellent, Congratulations my brother
I love both. But I would pick the navigator because of the engine i experienced it and it's amazing I'm in love with 3.5 twin turbocharged
You were not fair . To me the navigator is the best
The Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, and the Cadillac Escalade account for 50% of all large SUV sales in the US. GM makes 340,000 of them every year and exports about 80,000 to 31 countries. They’re made in GM’s plant in Arlington, Texas, which is said to be the most profitable assembly plant in the world. We estimate they generate $20 billion in revenue for GM and about $4 billion in profits. Autoline Daily.
styling is lincoln but tech is cadi
Great comparison!!! Love all your reviews
The Navigator that was in the video is Navigator I have only the 2020. I am honestly looking at the Cadillac. She just looks meaner and the interior screen is ridiculous!!!
This is the Lincoln navigator I like the Lincoln navigator I want the new it’s great for overseas diary
I prefer the more aggressive beefy looks of the Escalade has a bad ass look to it ..
The Escalade is definitely tech forward, but I would take the Lincoln because of its high HP and torque numbers from a V6 engine.
Yes but regarding reliability on the long run I don't think it can equal Escalade's V8
That blacked out Lincoln is fuckin badass!
Lincoln all the way..cause Ford has better quality than GM
I wouldn't say so ford has it bad of not lasting long when it come to reliability they break down easily and they have better quality depending on what vehicle trim you choose just like ford
chuck zupa
So true
I have a 2015 and It Is smooth And Quiet it Really shines on the Highway.
I'll take the Lincoln. And im somewhat of a GM guy.
Navigation for me so had to get one, and I love it.
If the Navigator had a V8, I’d consider that more...
Why would you not play the same segment and song when comparing the audio? Still, great vid
I would choose the Navigator just feels like more class. I don’t believe the Escalade will age well. It used to be the other way around.
I don’t like the electronic doors and the screen mirror and all the unnecessary tech junk, I think the Lincoln mixes both perfectly
I bought a Lincoln and it’s just amazing ride and power to be a v6 engine and there engines last forever but I like Cadillac front grill and long classic led lights you couldn’t go wrong with either one to be honest
Like the Escalade interior but the navigator exterior
