Loving the new redesigned Lincoln Navigator. I have a 2022 Reserve Black with just 8,000 miles on it. Can't wait to add this 2025 to my fleet. I am all Lincoln!
Owned several in my Limo Service years. I had Escalades and Navigators, driving up mileage into the 150k, 200k, 250k+. The Escalades were powerful and could handle SO-CAL valleys.The Navigators, were the long run mileage haulers, but weren't quite as robust in the hill climbs. However, if comfort, elegance and mature styling is your game, than the Navigator is King of your mountain. But if New Money glitz and flash are your goal...Escalade!!!!
The only problem I have with American manufacturer vehicles 🚗 are reliability issues, after 25k miles defects appears. I have Audi, Honda and ford and ford was the most cheapest and most unreliable
@@alansariammar I don't know of ANY Limo Fleet owners that use them in Limo Service. Historically they're known as gas guzzlers. Also, the Wagoneer doesn't have that L'aire d"Elegance. It's been seen as a Country Squire look which doesn't appeal to the business crowd, nor the party/prom/date crowd. Also, being a Stellantis (the durability kiss of death car maker) product, most Limo companies want their rides without late night mechanical rescues, refunds for mech issues and embarrassment. I have yet to see one in service in Southern California yet. Not much help, sorry
@truthserum5310 , That's exactly how I'm paying for my choice, I've made excellent investments, I'm going to enjoy some of it soon. I just purchased my daughter a Loaded 2025 Chevy Equinox RS 3 weeks ago for College.
My wife and I can't wait for this! We recently purchased our first ever Ford... 23 Lightning XLT and absolutely LOVE IT! This thing is an absolute beauty! This dolphin-ish gray with the black rims looks SO good. Love the lack of chrome as well!
I have been a Lincoln guy for years, and my favorite was a 1981 Mark VI Givenchy Edition. (should've never sold it!) However, today's Lincolns with small displacement + turbo are no-go for me. If I'm spending $70k+, a powerful NA V8 is mandatory.
Great video, very informative and thorough as always. Appreciate the great work y’all do. Really digging the redesign Lincoln has done. Navigator a bit big for me, but I am taking a big look at the nautilus.
I do agree the fog lights are missing to give it that extra luxury umph also rear fog lights would be a good option espcially in luxury cars and trucks.
Great auto show review, Joe! Looks like Lincoln has sleeked it up a bit, very nice! I will be interested to see all of the other colors and trim options that they bring to market.
Raiti!!! What's up, brother? I was there, I was waiting for you to finish recording to say whats up to you and your wife, but you left so fast. I was the guy setting up the palm trees and orchids at the lincoln display. Great job. I was going to tease you and say, being in Miami, you had to shout out some miami foods in your storage areas!!lol! It was disappointing GM didnt bring any 25' models like escalde, yukon, tahoe etc.. great job. Keep it up
Oh man! So sorry about that! Auto shows are very hectic especially this one since it is only a media half day! I hope next year we can say hello! I appreciate your support and I am also disappointed with what GM had there!
Drove the QX80 last week. Waiting to see this and the 2025 Escalade. Have had a LWB Range Rover on order for a year. Contemplating skipping the RR for one of these. We need a second row bench and a third row. Really tough decision
@ 2025 LWB RR Really happy with the decision. It’s much larger than our 2017 SWB RR. In fact we are on our second road trip this weekend. Happy with the choice.

It's a twin-turbo V6 though & it gives you plenty of performance while giving you slightly better MPG than the GM V8s which helps when you factor in the fluctuating price of premium gas right now
This isn’t a muscle car. The TTV6 is quieter, more efficient, and vs the Escalade more powerful. Low NVH matters a lot more in a luxury car than a muscle car.
I had the 3.5 in my F-150 and I’m not a fan. It had great power, but started having turbo problems so I got rid of it. The 5.0 would be awesome! I’m still holding out hope that they bring back the Excursion and put a 6.7 in it! I have a 2000 with a 7.3 and it’s such a tank!
The Cadillac Escalade and Yukon Denali seats are top-tier you so I don’t know which vehicle you’ve been in but definitely not neither of these luxury SUV’s
I like that split rear door. My big dogs would love jumping up onto that platform instead of clearing the bumper. Ok that doesn't actually matter but I do like it
Raiti I play reviews of the Escalade and Navigator back to back. And Yes the 2025 Escalade is literally pure unfiltered luxury premium with that beautiful elongated Infotainment screen. The back seats look like a first class jet!!....BUTTTT...This Lincoln Navigator definitely has the 1 up🏆 Ford Lincoln literally created a interior that is in no other vehicle. I am woww'd. Exterior and Interior is thee best design of all car brands. And I will say this..The 2025 Cadillac is at a tie with it. It comes down to your liking. But WOWW LINCOLN ITS OVER FOR BENZ AND BMW AND AUDI...American Luxury is back🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
loved everything about the car besides the hood. it looks like that infinity suv. wish they added some muscular angles to it or vents to make it sharper other than that it's perfect.
I wish they would make our Lincoln Navigator app able to open up and view 360 video of live footage. We have the 360 camera why not allow us to view our navigator live. What use is it if it only alerts us that our doors have been yanked on if we can’t prepare ourselves if someone is actually doing so or have proof of footage someone doing so. Better yet have audio so we can let them know we are coming. Work on that app @Lincoln
Astronomical if you can't buy the individual panels and It all contributes to the increased disposability of these newer vehicles. I was able to buy the 8.8 inch sharp LCD panel for my 2017 BMW X3 from China and replace just it when it went bad a couple of years ago. Cost me $140 including shipping instead of $1200-3000 for a used/new computer at the time.
Hey, listen to this wild thought I had! Picture this: a Twinkie, floating up in the clouds, and guess who's riding it like a boss? Joe! Can you imagine that?
Why are SUV’s and cars getting rid of fog lamps in general? I have a navigator 2024 black label, not sure I liked the seat buttons to be removed from the door to the side of the driver and passenger seats. But the redesign is absolutely amazing for sure!!!!
A couple things that stick out for me, #1 I'm seeing a lot of plastic and cheap leather in that interior and it kinda feels like they dialed down the luxury #2 That screen is beautiful, but is it too far away from driver?
Even though the new Navigator has 48 inches of screen on the dash, I can't help but admit that it does somehow look like a comfortable place to be when compared to something like the interior of the BMW X7 or Mercedes GLS where the screens look as if they were just glued onto the dashboard or center console with no effort put into them being integrated well. I don't even know how else to explain it.
Going to need a Raiti cloth for that huge screen. I looked in the store didn't see any. That's a nice ride. A little too big for me though. I like crossovers. But I'll take one if I win the lottery or something.
I appreciate you trying to make this pile look better than the Escalade. But the Escalade is the King. Ford can’t compete with GM other than towing and that’s it.
Joe now the Qx80 have something to think about, now they need to worry about this new Navigator. But compare to the new Escalade 2025 it’s hard choice, But I think I would go with the escEscalade, but I’m still loving this New Redesign for This Lincoln Navigator.
crazy the one review I can’t think of the guy channel said the second row had very low headroom, but I guess that’s not the case then huh? Which obviously is good.

It's between 2025 Navigator and 2025 Escalade that will get my money next year.

Waste of money. Invest that 100K plus and watch it grow, not depreciate.

You are not the first to say that!
I love the color! I work for GM, and it's still Caddy for me. But, this is a beautiful design
That is so awesome that you can appreciate both!
Remember the Navigator from the movie Are We There Yet? That was a funny movie, and I definitely remember the Navigator because of that

Really digging the redesign Lincoln has done.
Navigator a bit big for me, but I am taking a big look at the nautilus.
That means so much Steve! Thank you for letting us share it all with you!
Agreed Joe. Lincoln has laid the Smackdown on the Escalade 100%
On technology, this puts the navigator at the top of the full-size SUV list for me. The 24 models was the Wagoneer.
That is so very true!
Joe is top notch in car review no comparison God bless you sir.
Never thought i would ever like Lincoln. This SUV is pretty dope 😆
Navigators always been my favorite big SUV
I do agree the fog lights are missing to give it that extra luxury umph also rear fog lights would be a good option espcially in luxury cars and trucks.
Daaaaam if I had known you were here in Miami I would’ve gone to the show and said hi…much love from the 305
Oh man! That is really awesome of you Adrian! Always nect year brother!
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real 👏 true and I love the video 👍 💯
We seriously can not do it without you!
Nicest Navigator ever, so many little details ,Beautiful Family vehicle.
A little off topic: What brand of watch are you wearing? Thanks
Is it just me or does the pre-refresh version & the current generation look better inside & out in some ways?
I can definitely see the aftermarket folks making some serious LED lights for that lower front valence panel.
Great auto show review, Joe! Looks like Lincoln has sleeked it up a bit, very nice! I will be interested to see all of the other colors and trim options that they bring to market.
I'm torn between this and the 2025 Aviator for my next ride. Great vid as always entertaining and informative 👍
Navigator =it's possible to make the front one gigantic grill 😂

Amazing review Joe and I loved this vehicle.
Great video and thank you 😊
You are so very welcome!
Yes of course & I can't wait to test drive this.
The V6 kills this. If GM can still have V8 engines I think Ford should not have eliminated them!
It's a twin-turbo V6 though & it gives you plenty of performance while giving you slightly better MPG than the GM V8s which helps when you factor in the fluctuating price of premium gas right now
It's for emissions regulations. Blame our government!
This isn’t a muscle car. The TTV6 is quieter, more efficient, and vs the Escalade more powerful. Low NVH matters a lot more in a luxury car than a muscle car.

Small tip to everyone….if you want to be a luxury alternative…keep a V8….this is what distinguishes you from the rest
That is a good point!
You’re right V8 is the way to go especially the price of these luxury full size SUVs. I hope GMC and Cadillac never get rid of their v8 engines
It shares a motor with the F150 Raptor. That’s a formidable power train
Nobody wants to pay high dollar for gasoline idiot
That would be nice if they put the coyote V8 in this as an alternative motor or a hybrid alternative.
