    I saved a blue '03 4 × 2 from some SoundCloud rapper looking kid a couple years ago. Glad I decided to make the move, this thing is a complete joy. Since it is old, I have plans to replace all the worn down suspension bushings, and perhaps the inner/outer tie rods. I've driven this thing in the snow, on the coast, in the mountains, and such. Everything but the city lol

      I love mine. It's not fast like a sports car but when you floor it it makes you smile because a daily truck shouldn't move like that. The cornering agility feels comically good too.

    These were a blast to drive, such a great engine, too bad that they were a money pit. It was crazy that the Aviator with the 4v 4.6 engine put out 2 more hp than the bigger 5.4 4v that was in the Navigator.

    • @madmod
      @madmod Рік тому

      Peak Hp came in at 5750 for the Aviator, and 5250 for the Navigator. That means from idle to 5200, the Navigator is making more power and torque. The only rev to 6k as well.

    The irony that ford had a dohc 4v 5.4, but chose to shove the 3v into the biggest seller with that engine. How much money could that saved, especially when they angered people with the 3v?

    193.3 inches length, 113.7 inches wheelbase...that's on the large size of the "midsized" luxury SUV segment. For comparison, the Lexus GX470 of the time had a total length of 188.1 inches and a wheelbase of 109.8 inches.
