I'm digging the 2 tone paint job on this one. Makes it stand out well. Cant go wrong with black and white on any car. Both those colors go hand in hand
I've always done things differently, so yes, I'll take this Navigator over any Escalade, Suburban or Expedition in a heart beat. It looks more premium, more exclusive and luxurious. Great job Lincoln...
@@radiohead2206 Do you need to carry 7 passengers always? If not, the automated seats turn it into an enormous trunk. It's not a fail when you realize the 7 seats are there, but most probably won't need that or they'd get the L version.
this is yout "premium" 13:59 when you say "premium" it means you are a victim, without knowledge, *premium* and *audiophile* is the same thing to cheat zombies.
I still have my Lincoln Navigator and we take it across the country each year for vacation. I have rented plenty of new vehicles and nothing compares to the navigator. It drive’s amazing, the entertainment system is mind blowing especially the surround sound, and the comfort level will make any 13 hour trip seem like a breeze! We even had tons of stuff packed on top, and it still drive like a champ, we took turns sleeping in the third row, which is a complete luxurious third row, where your knees won’t hit your chin……. Full size…… I dk but my 3 kids 2 being babies didn’t even cry at all in this vehicle…… And don’t forget the amount of power in this thing! Some say it’s like a dinosaur bc it’s slow…… and I’m like what? This thing climbs steep hills like nothing, it’s got power like a truck, and I’m Not going to cry if it doesn’t go to 100mph in 20 seconds…… this thing has survived all weather when jeeps were sliding all over the place and new cars….. nope not this thing! It climbed the snowy hill like it was child’s play! My oldest navigator is almost 20 years old, and it has outlasted my friends Chevy, my moms Jeep and many others. I won’t get rid of it even tho it’s got 200k plus miles, it has no rust, and I’m not getting rid of it. (Rocker panels are starting to rust) This year we said it’s time for a new vehicle and we are getting a new navigator. I hope it looks like the thumbnail for a 2024, bc I don’t really like the latest model. I had an Escalade and I don’t like gmc or Chevy. They are cheap on the inside and are way too much money. Navigator is the best and anyone that knows vehicles will agree. Lincoln and ford do not disappoint when it comes to the cabins, where Chevy is laughable. My friends suburban is something I was never jealous of….. cheap plastic, transmission went out around 115k miles, and her blazer had electronic issues and eventually it wouldn’t run….. no thank you! I’ve had jeeps same with my mother, plenty of models, and so many stupid things go wrong like the windows won’t go up, heat stops working, etc….. not the navigator!! My fiancé is a mechanic and can fix anything, he also worked for a construction company and he said chevy trucks are a gimmick. They break. His company switched to fords and never had an issue since…. He does like a dodge for a truck tho. But yeah for our family and my fiancé which is an expert, we only buy fords or some foreign vehicles. The only Chevy I would get is a gmc Yukon. But I had an Escalade for years and hated it.
Agree 💯 with you. We've had 3 Navigators. There's just no comparison to the comfort and beauty of it. I have 4 kids, teenagers. The Navigator has taken us to many states for soccer tournaments. A Navigator NEVER disappoints.❤. We have had 2 Chevy vehicles and inside parts were indeed very cheap!
Sorry if you don't mind I have a Question my family is actually Deciding to get an SUV which is like a 7 seater do you think the Lincoln Navigator is worth it because we need a Family SUV and we just hope that Reliability isn't an Issue in a Lincoln...
You smoking something. Don't be fool , Elon Musk will tell you Ford is right behind him. GM doesn't have sh%% to offer. Why would you pay for a vehicle that cost a little more but don't offer you sh%&?? Gm has a big a& 9.8 liter motor sitting under that hood pushing out a weak a& 349 🐎 power, drinking gas like the neighborhood drunk drinking whiskey getting a measly 14 miles to the gallon, motor crapping out around 170k miles, electric problems, and outdated cheap materials. Why bro?? Did you got drop on your head as a baby?? I'm asking this because I see too many grown people acting like something wrong with their brains. How about asking some of these people in the threads that's owners of these Lincolns, or read the comments. These people don't all just love these Lincolns because they're fans, they love these Lincolns because they're not fools. It's nothing.... ITS NOTHING out there being produce at the moment is better than a Lincoln suv, not even Rolls Royce or Bentley. They're handcrafted and special but Lincoln is ahead of them. Ask Elon Musk, he'll tell you the same
I baby my cars & my Lincoln left me stranded yrs ago, transmission fail @ 33,000 miles. Bought an SRX Cadillac & now an XT5 premium luxury & love it & no problems.
Thanks Joe. After watching your reviews and comparisons of the big three, the Navigator, Escalade, and the Wagoneer I picked up a new Wagoneer with the series three option last week. The Wagoneer seems larger on the inside, floaty controlled ride, material build quality is above the rest, unlimited entertainment features, rear seating is mind-boggling.
JJ ~ I love Lincoln, my late Uncle was a Lincoln Man, he had the newest baddest fully loaded Continentals. it's WAY better than the GMC Caddy Sport. the market is simply saturated with too many different SUV's. I love when you're in the 3rd row & you say I just wanna sit back & chill (reclining seats) ya recline a fifth of a centimeter heeeheeeheee just razin' ya brother, you always bring the good stuff to YT, tony
I just realized that Raiti reminds me of Joey.(Joey Tribianni from "Friends") If Joey was doing car reviews, first thing he would check would be places to carry sandwiches and pizzas in cars and SUVs. 😍
I wouldn't take that either, it's a Suburban with only a unique back end and front end...and with GMC and Chevy , they actually ape the interior from the Caddy and made it even better which is a zonk. So their interiors arent special no longer. To GM, Cadillac is basically a tuner of Cheverolet and GMC trucks.
Gm trash what cause it has a long screen oooooo with all that Chinese trash tech ooooooo unreliable shit box oooooooo. 😂😂😂 good luck with your new transmission every hundred thousand miles boys 😂😂
So in this line up and design I like the clean no exhaust looking back. I would rather that than the fake exhaust or vacuum looking exhaust! Great review as always!
I had the luxurious blessing of riding in this today via Lyfts VIP vehicle option and I was BLOWN AWAY 🤯!!! I literally and I mean literally felt like the freaking president or Queen of England riding in the 2nd row seat and it was very sunny and hot outside today and the lighting was PERFECT it had black shields/curtains pulled up on the back windows to block out the sun and super cool air conditioning!!! It was totally worth the ride! Very smooth ride and felt like a limousine 10.0 inside and looked SUPER professional, posh, exotic and I thought this vehicle was worth $200K! That’s how good it looked, felt and rode! Great review too 😎 love KFC also 🍗
One thing that I am surprised that more suv makers aren't doing that they should for rear passenger monitors is adding bluetooth ear or headphone capability.
My brother and I went to the Cleveland Auto Show. And we went to the door panels. We looked at how many twinkies could fit. We also checked spaces for class rings and how many balls we could protect. We definitely zonked some rear wipers and non functional styling up front. I also set up youtube to play your channel in one car.. my brother quizzed me on some of the prices. he accused me of reading the sticker first. I said hey I've learned from Raiti's Rides. Lol.
I’m recently drove an Escalade Platinum and then a Navigator Black Label L…no comparison, I’m sorry. I’m a GM guy but the Navigator was insane. I drive a Range Rover Sport HSE Dynamic and this is making me think HARD of a trade in. I need something for long trips and the Gator seems perfect
Agree with this. I’m on my 2nd Escalade (2019) and it’s been my favorite ride to own for a daily driver. I had been planning on getting a 24 Escalade this month but I decided I test drive the 24 Lincoln Navigator and I was surprised how much I liked the Navigator over the Escalade. Looks like I’ll be a Lincoln guy for the next 5-6 years.
From my standpoint, Lincoln navigator in town called the best riding luxury cars you can get in plus the navigator has way more power and faster than the Escalade but one thing joe you didn’t mention is they drive by itself assist right on the steering wheel
I’ve owned 2005 Lincoln Navigator in the past…. I sold it in 2013. Over the past 9 years or so I owned different non luxury SUVs and they were all nice. When the redesigned 2018 or 2018 Navigator came out I got excited and was planning to buy one then that new Escalade 21+ model dropped…… I bought it!!! I absolutely love my 21 Escalade Platinum ESV…. Ouuuu it’s nice.. I got the sport white with black onyx package too! I’m in love with it lol…
@@richardmorris7063until I pull up next to you in my black on black, black label Continental, sitting on 22” staggered custom Forgiato’s and you realize…you did it all wrong. 🤔
No black wheels for me, not on a luxury vehicle. I just got 20" chrome for my Cad XT5 & they sparkle. Mine isn't in comparison to this monster though ,apples & oranges! For me I like Lincoln interiors but exterior & motor is all Cadillac. Mine has the V6,310 hp & surprisingly quick. Almost a million subs Joe,,here's one more for ya!
I like this. This is the smaller version not the L. I like the brief history you did at the beginning. I remember reading in Car and Driver that the Cadillac Escalade is the vehicle GM said they would never build because they felt there was no US market for full size Luxury SUV. They could not have been more wrong. Ford/Lincoln said hold my beer. Then the race was on.
I might prefer these seats to the ones in my '21 Escalade Sport (it's ergonomics aren't perfect for me) but the V8 sounds so much better, it's worth the trade-off.
I have owned 2 Navigators, and I'm planning to buy my third very soon. I think it looks classier than the Caddy or the Jeep, and while I haven't driven a 2023 Escalade, I have driven plenty of older "lades, and I prefer the comfort of the seats and the quality of the ride you get with Lincoln. WHile I love classic Wagoneers, the new one is not my cup of tea (No offense to anyone who has one).
Hi I have a Question actually were looking for a Family SUV of 6 people were actually considering a 7 seater with plenty of Cargo space do you think the Lincoln navigator is worth it and did you experience any reliability issues with the navigator?
I think this Lincoln absolutely beautiful If I were to buy one that's the spec and color I would get but I do agree with you on the rear wiper I don't understand why they don't put it at the top of the lift gate I think it would look so much better and I also think they have the perfect balance for of chrome and black trim
I'm going to buy me a 2023 Lincoln navigator Black label two-tone just like that I love the way everything is bright white creme in the inside I'm definitely going to buy that today🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Grand Wagoneer just smashes this, IMO. I’m picking up my “used” GW with 72 miles tomorrow morning and am pumped. Grabbed it for $20k under MSRP at $94k sticker. The I6 is an absolute unit and allows to GW to keep up with an Audi S5 to 60.
@@josephquinto5812 yeah man and i like the wagoneer much more especially that the navigator interior looks so outdated like the 2015 model, the wagoneer interior is a yacht actually
Escalades are dime a dozen. Give me this Beauty right here. The Escalade is performance, the Navigator is pure luxury. Especially the Black Label. Beautiful American luxury
@Redeye Who Dominates The Drag Strip Oh bro honestly, I just like to dream of it! One day......one day.....I got to work on getting a good career first, amd if I could buy I definitely would!!!
Great review Joe. This Navigator is a beauty! Love the interior. Love the massage function. Not sure if I’d spend the extra cash on the Black Label. The Reserve trim would probably be enough for me. Thanks for bringing it to us.
Merci pour ces vidéos qui sont très bien fait et don je suis un abonné . En 2020 j’avais commandé un Cadillac Escalade de nouvelle génération, mais lorsque je suis aller au salon de l’auto et que je me suis assis dans un Lincoln Navigator j’ai été envouté. J’ai annulé la commande Cadillac et j’ai commandé le Navigator noir monochrome.. incroyable ce camion … confort, remorquage, système de son 🫶. Continuez votre beau travail 👍🏻
The Lincoln Navigator it’s very nice and luxurious! 30 way adjustable seats adjustable seats. It’s a lot of adjustability for both driver and passenger.
Great camera work Steven flood and awesome review Joe;although my particular setup would be the black label in Chroma Caviar Dark Gray Metallic with the black accent package. I was going to go blacked out but it didn’t allow me so dark gray it is. 😊😊😊😊
Hey Joe , thank you for the video it’s a beautiful SUV. Any word from Lincoln if and when they will put a hybrid engine in it such as the powerboost engine??,Like in the F-150 ,considering that the F-150 , Expedition and Navigator are all built on the same frame?
I’m surprised the Navigator is faster than the Escalade( Non V of course) but then again, that is a derivative of the engine from the Lemans winning Ford GT so it is a world class engine even if it is a 6 cylinder. This is a super impressive machine. The Lincoln and Escalade are def top 2. I was disappointed with the Grand Wagoneer, I had hoped it would be more aesthetically pleasing. It has super vanilla styling unfortunately but the American full size luxury SUV game is in good hands with this Navi and the Escalade leading the charge both with their own class leading specifications
Its bragging rights I guess but were talking luxury vehicles,0-60 times are not that important,, are they? I have 310 hp. @4000 lbs in my Cad XT5 & its plenty fast & torquey. I passed a semi last week & as a Corvette owner I was surprised.
The Navigator had fallen off so far I thought they were going to discontinue it. They didn't make any good changes for a decade. Now... it's arguably the best lux SUV.
The Navigator is a competent luxury SUV but the 2022 USA sales figures tell the tale: Escalade 40,247 Navigator 13, 206. That kind of sales dominance, 3x as many Escalades and a 52% market share, is not because the Escalade and Navigator are about the same, it's because the Escalade is far better.
The Navigator is just superior and classy compared to the Escalade in my opinion. I also live in a very wealthy neighborhood and majority of the people drive Navigators, Mercedes, Bentleys, etc. I honestly rarely see Escalades. I hate to say it but I just don’t think it’s associated with class.
Exactly correct. The Escalade is associated with the ghetto, gangbanger, and poser crowd. Cadillac is hardly luxury. It's just a Chevy with a few more gizmo's.
After watching the GMC Denali Ultimate video I think I would take this Black Label over it. But like others stated, I’m still taking the Escalade over both.
It’s better in my opinion when we talking about reliability.around me 2 Cadillac replaced engine between 40-50k miles.guys own navigators and no issues at all even 200k miles .Cadillac looks more cool (interior ,exterior) but for long term ownership these suv is the best .
These are all getting so good that it is getting DIFFICULT to figure which is the best of the best of American Luxury SUV! For pure interior and exterior technology and latest features, it looks like the Cadillac Escalade wins. For long distance driving where interior quietness, best long-distance seating comfort and luxury audio counts the most then the Lincoln Navigator wins hands-down. For best interior look and feel with that nice all-American squishy luxo-barge ride that you can take an entire family plus grandma to the local county fair or lakeside cabin, then the Jeep Grand Wagoneer is my choice! The ONLY THINGS MISSING from these are the built-in 120 litre combo-fridge/freezer accessible from the interior AND exterior of the vehicle, the built-in espresso/coffee-maker AND the built-in one cubic foot or larger combo-microwave/convection oven so we can have our crispy toasted Philly Sandwich along with our 20 oz caramel machiatto AND a cup of super-frozen double-chocolate chip ice cream! Once ALL the manufacturers add those features, ONLY THEN will we be in luxury SUV heaven! V
I love this car. But something about the plastic on the 2 front seats (the black) really disturbs me. I have a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. It’s my first car but I have to start looking for a new car in a year from now. The Corsair is one of my options. But idk Lincoln is for sure different than the other brands and I don’t know how..
Close friend of the family has this and we love riding in it! Only thing I wish they would do is make the key fob a little more luxury like. They shouldn't do the same key fob that they make for all the ford's. Looks too tacky for a 105k super luxury SUV.
Somethin tells me they will sell out! It’s amazing the $ some folks have. $100k is the new $50k it seems! Not for me of course but folks got deep pockets out there
The Escalade is wayyyyyy better!!!!!!! The long vertical lights, the rear view mirror, the curved oled, leather stitching, color lighting, V8, air suspension, magnetic ride, more room, night vision, super cruise!!!!! Don’t get me wrong the navigator is nice. But the Escalade blows it out of the water 💯 percent!!!! Oh the Escalade also has the hidden back wiper and soft closing doors☺️ I can go on!!!!!!!
This Lincoln is a masterpiece. It looks really really good and drives great too.
This is so true Omar!
I'm digging the 2 tone paint job on this one. Makes it stand out well. Cant go wrong with black and white on any car. Both those colors go hand in hand

I think this Lincoln absolutely beautiful If I were to buy one that's the spec and color I would get but I do agree with you on the rear wiper I don't understand why they don't put it at the top of the lift gate I think it would look so much better and I also think they have the perfect balance for of chrome and black trim
I'm going to buy me a 2023 Lincoln navigator Black label two-tone just like that I love the way everything is bright white creme in the inside I'm definitely going to buy that today🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Did you buy one ?
Fried chicken in the Navi?? Oh no!!! Doritos, absolutely not!
Ebony and Ivory, together in perfect harmony. Per M. Jackson and Sir Paul McCartney! Very nice boat! I’ll take it!❤
You nailed ity!
Grand Wagoneer just smashes this, IMO. I’m picking up my “used” GW with 72 miles tomorrow morning and am pumped. Grabbed it for $20k under MSRP at $94k sticker. The I6 is an absolute unit and allows to GW to keep up with an Audi S5 to 60.
For 74K thats a great price for a grand wagoneer, congrats 🎉🍾
@@chef7209 I wish lol. It was $94k after the reduction. Was $114k! Should have been more clear.
You stupid as Cuck , you know good n well you can't compare a Jeep to this thang, get your silly && off the internet
@@josephquinto5812 yeah man and i like the wagoneer much more especially that the navigator interior looks so outdated like the 2015 model, the wagoneer interior is a yacht actually
That’s the only way to buy a Jeep, $20k off MSRP. Have you checked the forums? Plenty of people having issues with their wagons.
Great review as always!
Escalades are dime a dozen. Give me this Beauty right here. The Escalade is performance, the Navigator is pure luxury. Especially the Black Label. Beautiful American luxury
This will be my first Lincoln SUV now Joe.
Sounds like a plan Jeremiah!
It’s the best looking vehicle in its class. Inside and out. Everything else is personal preference. But it’s looks are undeniably top of class.
Its all personal preference, I like a 3 yr old Escalade. For me that never gets old, on the short WB model!
I've been waiting for this one Joe! Thanks for always making it happen. I'm guessing live q and A us next month since tomorrow is last day of Feb?
Hey Chris! We are going to have the next one on March 14th. This month travel wise has been so crazy.
@@RaitisRides Sounds great Joe! Just marked my calendar!
@@DarkJediChrisG-1425 sweet I can’t wait bro! Now that you’ve seen this navigator tracked down, you thinking of buying it?
@Redeye Who Dominates The Drag Strip Oh bro honestly, I just like to dream of it! One day......one day.....I got to work on getting a good career first, amd if I could buy I definitely would!!!
@Redeye Who Dominates The Drag Strip What do u do for a living bro? If you would be able to buy it would ya?
Great review Joe. This Navigator is a beauty! Love the interior. Love the massage function. Not sure if I’d spend the extra cash on the Black Label. The Reserve trim would probably be enough for me. Thanks for bringing it to us.
Keyword it's been a classy ride ❤
Looks extremely comfy inside 🙂
Merci pour ces vidéos qui sont très bien fait et don je suis un abonné .
En 2020 j’avais commandé un Cadillac Escalade de nouvelle génération, mais lorsque je suis aller au salon de l’auto et que je me suis assis dans un Lincoln Navigator j’ai été envouté. J’ai annulé la commande Cadillac et j’ai commandé le Navigator noir monochrome.. incroyable ce camion … confort, remorquage, système de son 🫶. Continuez votre beau travail 👍🏻
I like the body style of the escalade the best
Me too, but the interior on the Navigator I think is nicer. The seats are far more comfortable than the Escalade.
Hey Raiti's Rides Can You Make The 2023 Lincoln Aviator Reserve
I will get that together for you.
I second this but instead of Reserve Black Label
@@RaitisRides Thank You Man
The Lincoln Navigator it’s very nice and luxurious! 30 way adjustable seats adjustable seats. It’s a lot of adjustability for both driver and passenger.
My dream ride
Great camera work Steven flood and awesome review Joe;although my particular setup would be the black label in Chroma Caviar Dark Gray Metallic with the black accent package. I was going to go blacked out but it didn’t allow me so dark gray it is. 😊😊😊😊
Lincolns are the very best hands down definitely 💯
Hey Joe , thank you for the video it’s a beautiful SUV. Any word from Lincoln if and when they will put a hybrid engine in it such as the powerboost engine??,Like in the F-150 ,considering that the F-150 , Expedition and Navigator are all built on the same frame?
I went Yukon Denali, but I really like the Navigator’s seats.
Pure elegance
I have the "pre-owned 2020 202A Aviator.
Thanks to you and your review's, you had helped me choose a great ride.
Thanks 💯 😊
I’m surprised the Navigator is faster than the Escalade( Non V of course) but then again, that is a derivative of the engine from the Lemans winning Ford GT so it is a world class engine even if it is a 6 cylinder. This is a super impressive machine. The Lincoln and Escalade are def top 2. I was disappointed with the Grand Wagoneer, I had hoped it would be more aesthetically pleasing. It has super vanilla styling unfortunately but the American full size luxury SUV game is in good hands with this Navi and the Escalade leading the charge both with their own class leading specifications
Its bragging rights I guess but were talking luxury vehicles,0-60 times are not that important,, are they? I have 310 hp. @4000 lbs in my Cad XT5 & its plenty fast & torquey. I passed a semi last week & as a Corvette owner I was surprised.
This is my opinion, but I love Escalade more because it has a more cleaner look and the navigator, looks really boxy
Great job. Very entertaining.
My favorite Lincoln SUV I wanted to buy one.
The Navigator had fallen off so far I thought they were going to discontinue it. They didn't make any good changes for a decade. Now... it's arguably the best lux SUV.
It's really nice and a lot of features and luxury like the caddy but it just needs that big v8 rumble when you crank that big truck up
Love all your references to food and storage.
this is not for me.
I can't install a Pioneer car audio sys, subwoofer, (0o)! the last window does not open, :(
Ahh,I Don't Know What It Is Bout This SUV I Just Love It. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Navigator is a competent luxury SUV but the 2022 USA sales figures tell the tale: Escalade 40,247 Navigator 13, 206. That kind of sales dominance, 3x as many Escalades and a 52% market share, is not because the Escalade and Navigator are about the same, it's because the Escalade is far better.
I gave you a video a thumbs up keep doing your thing on UA-cam❤
The Navigator is just superior and classy compared to the Escalade in my opinion. I also live in a very wealthy neighborhood and majority of the people drive Navigators, Mercedes, Bentleys, etc. I honestly rarely see Escalades. I hate to say it but I just don’t think it’s associated with class.
Exactly correct. The Escalade is associated with the ghetto, gangbanger, and poser crowd. Cadillac is hardly luxury. It's just a Chevy with a few more gizmo's.
After watching the GMC Denali Ultimate video I think I would take this Black Label over it. But like others stated, I’m still taking the Escalade over both.
Omg those seats look amazing
Best third row I've ever seen in a SUV
It’s better in my opinion when we talking about reliability.around me 2 Cadillac replaced engine between 40-50k miles.guys own navigators and no issues at all even 200k miles .Cadillac looks more cool (interior ,exterior) but for long term ownership these suv is the best .
If this had a tan interior this would be god send
How do you disable the touch middle console because my kids love to mess around with them and change the stations constantly
These are all getting so good that it is getting DIFFICULT to figure which is the best of the best of American Luxury SUV!
For pure interior and exterior technology and latest features, it looks like the Cadillac Escalade wins. For long distance driving where interior quietness, best long-distance seating comfort and luxury audio counts the most then the Lincoln Navigator wins hands-down. For best interior look and feel with that nice all-American squishy luxo-barge ride that you can take an entire family plus grandma to the local county fair or lakeside cabin, then the Jeep Grand Wagoneer is my choice!
The ONLY THINGS MISSING from these are the built-in 120 litre combo-fridge/freezer accessible from the interior AND exterior of the vehicle, the built-in espresso/coffee-maker AND the built-in one cubic foot or larger combo-microwave/convection oven so we can have our crispy toasted Philly Sandwich along with our 20 oz caramel machiatto AND a cup of super-frozen double-chocolate chip ice cream!
Once ALL the manufacturers add those features, ONLY THEN will we be in luxury SUV heaven!
V
I would go Lincoln navigator damn right
This dude is permanent-childhood-memory infomercial level good. Shamwow slapchop oxyclean vibe😂 A+
Love me those navigators I want one of these new body styles so bad
I love this car. But something about the plastic on the 2 front seats (the black) really disturbs me. I have a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. It’s my first car but I have to start looking for a new car in a year from now. The Corsair is one of my options. But idk Lincoln is for sure different than the other brands and I don’t know how..
Two of American best LUXURY Brands CADI & LINCOLN ☝️☝️
Close friend of the family has this and we love riding in it! Only thing I wish they would do is make the key fob a little more luxury like. They shouldn't do the same key fob that they make for all the ford's. Looks too tacky for a 105k super luxury SUV.
Sweet ride I wonder how many they'll be able to sell with ~$2k/month payments lol
Somethin tells me they will sell out! It’s amazing the $ some folks have. $100k is the new $50k it seems! Not for me of course but folks got deep pockets out there
The good thing w/ the navigator is exclusivity cause almost everybody has a escalade 🤣🤣
My favorite SUV of all time 💛💜❤️👍👍🥂🍾
I love both of this sqb and Lincoln look very nice and classic the space it a plus I love the. Black and white.
Does the navigator comes with air suspension?
Is the leather with the white black or a tone of brown?
Hey Mr raiti is there a problem if u don't know manual driving but drive automatic
Please 🙏🥺🥺 tell.
Theres nothing wrong with that. Why would you think that's a problem?
@@mattmekhaeil because a mature driver or racer has to know about manual THEY SAY🥺
That isn't a problem but you should learn if you can rick.
@@rick5741 manuals are a lot more fun to drive. You should learn it's not hard
I’ve never been a fan of Lincoln but this is pretty nice
14:08 whoa whoaaaa...tread carefully there 😅
The Escalade is wayyyyyy better!!!!!!! The long vertical lights, the rear view mirror, the curved oled, leather stitching, color lighting, V8, air suspension, magnetic ride, more room, night vision, super cruise!!!!! Don’t get me wrong the navigator is nice. But the Escalade blows it out of the water 💯 percent!!!! Oh the Escalade also has the hidden back wiper and soft closing doors☺️ I can go on!!!!!!!
New viewer here. This is going to help with my next purchase. Absolutely loved your review! Subbed
Thank you
