@@RestrictedHades The Suburban is an extended version of the Tahoe. The Navigator comes in 2 versions as well, the "Navigator" and "Navigator-L". The Navigator-L is the extended version of the Navigator.
I own the new Navigator black label trim. After 6 months none of the black piano plastic has scratched, and is rather finger print resistant. I keep a micro fiber cloth in the center console and the car looks brand new. Plus Lincoln gives me free interior/exterior professional detail every year. The vehicle is absolutely amazing.
I like how the "Goose" identifies some of the companies who manufacture different components of the vehicle (the radio, infotainment, HUD, etc.). I think people tend to forget that no automaker builds every single part of its vehicles in the same factory, therefore a secondary or third party vendor is often responsible for a specific car brand being labeled as problematic.

And it's good that they are. I'd rather trust an audio company designing my audio system than some generic engineer.
Honda Odyssey's are so extremely underrated. I "inherited" my moms 2003 odyssey in highschool and it was hands down the best car in my friends group. Comfortably could fit 5 friends, best road tripper car ever, and the rear bench folds down, exposing nearly a queen size bed's worth of space
99% sure that all the shiny bits in the Navigtor are real metal. You said they were not. The stuff that looks like wood is real wood. You need to check out the black label if you want to be impressed.
Finally a Lincoln that is beautiful again. It is nice to see such an iconic brand make good decisions. Well done Lincoln. Cant wait for the Aviator. Stunning.
I second what the OP said. The shiny "actual metal" (not plastic), the "actual wood," the seats, the controls... those are what attract me to it. The same stuff that attracts me to the Mark V.
Test drove one and was impressed. Very quite, great interior, smooth, powerful, stoped and cornered very well,,,,,but I bought a Raptor instead plus a Honda Si, got two rides for the same price. If I still had kids I definitely would have the Navigator.
@Just your average Joe bruh we already pay almost 7 here. Luxury SUVs and full size trucks out number cars. It will be 15 years old and sell for 16 000 dollars.
Not one of the seats when folded line up. What do you do with that big center console in the middle of the luggage area when seats are folded? What an electronic nightmare. 👎
US car manufacturers still don't seem to understand luxury interiors. A crap tonne of plasti-chrome and piano gloss black plastic does not equal to a luxurious interior.
driftbro agreed, but I don’t think the Germans are doing interiors much better, personally. Never liked the round vents and flow-y center stack look in the Mercedes, I hate the new Audi interior too with the giant shifter, the Mmi controls in front of the shifter and the infotainment screen that’s stuck front and center on the dash. BMW was clean, if not super boring, but the new 3 looks okay, I can’t really judge it yet. Volvo (as long as they refresh with more physical buttons) would tie for me with Porsche.
@@constructionbootgazer Yeah, I agree. Some of German luxury car manufacturers seem to be trying too hard to make their interior's more luxurious. The current BMW interiors look very boring and IMO the steering wheel of the new 3-series looks kind of strange.
@@jyotiradityaguleria907 The newer Citroen models have really nice interiors too, but they are not a really good choice if you live far away from Europe because getting parts and finding someone who knows how to fix them is going to be really difficult.
A great review. Honestly, This beast is handsome! Eventhough if the Escalade had the upper arm in sales, Lincoln blew it out the park with this one! Quality, Features, Looks, etc. you name it! To me they are back and I can't wait for the Aviator. While they're at it make the new Continental RWD with suicide doors and a v8. Might as well bring back the towncar as the ultimate flagship, Even the Mustang based lux coupe! Other than that, Love ya Lincoln!!
handsome? Wow, think it may be the ugliest car I've seen in a while Edit: Not trying to be mean, seems like it would be a good way to carry 6 adults, comfy etc - just on looks I do not want!
The Escalade is trash compared to the Navigator. GM cheaps out on the interior from the second row on back with crappy plastics and carpet and it looks and hardly feels any different than a run of mill Suburban.
Its simple, but I absolutely love your driving impression intro shot with the camera that swings into the driver seat. Looks awesome and makes me smile every time.
All these infotainment screens are starting to look like an afterthought. Like someone just slapped an iPad on the dash and called it a day. Not attractive at all.
Personally speaking, I think that is much better than the boring in-dashboard design that most manufacturers go with. It adds a bit of depth, in my opinion anyway.
This guy seems like he's kinda upset that he can't find anything really wrong with this beautiful truck. Lol. It's a dream luxury car/truck. Nothing "should" be wrong with it....
At that price range, for this kind of vehicle, I don't think anything would sway me from the almighty Toyota Land Cruiser. It's also overbuilt (likely moreso), with extreme emphasis on 4x4 capability and long term reliability/dependability. Has features like a traditional parking brake handle, gearshift lever, and a N/A V8... because shit like that is proven to still be working in 25 years.
Land Cruiser is a great off road vehicle but it is not as family friendly as Navigator. Land Cruiser in America starts at about $80,000. So you have to make a decision which matters most (comfort, luxury and prestige) Vs (Comfort and off road capabilities). They are both nice but only one of them is an American.
I went on a test drive just this past Saturday and I have to say I'm impressed. It felt good driving it. It roomy quite and smooth. I'm going to try to convince my wife to like this over the Range rover.
I love the idea of this vehicle. I do not love GDI turbos though. All have issues with carbon buildup on the back of the valves, and I haven’t seen any reviewer noting that Lincoln or others have installed catch cans on the oil breathers to reduce crusty carbon that absolutely will cause missing in 20-30k miles. Only those engines with GDI + SPFI will keep crusty under wraps. My dream Navigator would be if they listened to SG, matte the chrome, and then listened to me and installed a NA V8 TIVCT capable of Otto and Atkinson cycles depending on throttle input, added a 100+kw motor in the trans with sufficient battery. I absolutely love the push button shifter, although I do think Lincoln should put it to the left of the driver to prevent idiot passengers from shifting into L. Desoto and Chrysler did it in the 50’s and 60’s with cables, springs, and levers- so life is full circle now. I do lament the loss of a mechanical emergency brake. It’s not just a parking brake Ford... remember?
I had to subscribe. I have loved cars since I was born and you make videos like you’re talking to me and only me. I feel so special. You’re amazing. Thank you for what you do.
i haven't had the chance to drive one yet but we have had a couple come in for service at my shop and i think they are a huge step up compared to the last generation. they do have a TSB out for them that if the a/c is getting intermittently warm at times that we have to replace the whole HVAC system in the truck since it uses R1234yf refrigerant and apparently some of the earlier navigators and expeditions have it contaminated. thankfully we haven't seen any yet and we are in Florida.
This is why I prefer the Escalade. No cheap plastic in the interior. Dash is wrapped in leather, roof is alcantara, all the of the central console is real chrome metal and gloss black touch sensitive buttons.
"No cheap plastic" LMFAO GM will always bake in some cheap plastic somewhere. Doesn't it have the same gear shifter, something you interact with every time you use the car, as a $29,999 silverado?
Drove one of these as a rental in Colorado; went to the top of Pikes Peak with no issue with 4 adults and two children. Everything in this review is on point.
@Russell 747 A part of it is just how overbuilt the cars are. Their mechanics are a lot more robust and higher quality then comparable cars. Hell, Toyota built such a durable car, they can't make money of of repairs because they just won't break, so they have to increase the price to make up for it. I do agree they're still way overpriced though.
Just did a test drive. Didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. There are very few options if you want a car that will carry 6+ people, a giant dog, and still fit luggage and bulky baby gear. Navigator was my favorite, then Expedition, then Yukon/Escalade/Suburban. The GM cars don’t have as many features - less legroom in rows 2/3, no parking assistance, no auto hold braking at red lights, tiny sunroof...the little things add up. It doesn’t look as nice as some other cars, but still way more luxurious than the Expedition or Yukon.
So many people go overboard when reviewing anything and try too hard to be wacky/"hilarious". You're chill and have normal tone. Well done sir. Anyone every tell you that you look a little like Dana White (UFC)?
I drove an expedition at a Ford test drive thing at a car show a while back. I am the furthest from a Ford guy, but it was pretty impressive, lot of power and pretty damn comfortable - auto start stop was horrible however
I took it out for a test drive, and to be honest, it was a great drive like you said but I think you were really harsh on the interior. I thought the interior was beautiful. Thanks for the review!
You don't buy a car like this for fuel erconomy. And you can get 450Hp out of the 5.0 easy without resorting to forced induction. God knows what you can get out of the 5.0 when you start boosting it.
They get to have their own volume nobs in back and their own piano black too. I have only one plasti-chrome trim around center shifter in Ram and it sure blinds me quite often. All other trims are like aluminum look, i wonder how that would look in Durango or this Navigator
I only see ONE thing wrong in this interior: YOU!!!! The chrome is stately. Think rolls Royce and their shiny chrome. The marble on the door is elegant. I’d like to see that marble on the steering wheel rim as well.
I recently rented an Cadillac Escalade EXT for a 4-day trip. The interior comfort ends right at the border of 2nd row. Due to the truck platform a 6 foot tall passenger’s legs in 2nd row are in an awkward position. The knees won’t be rested on the seat unless legs are extended forward. So while there is ton of space in this car, despite that the 2nd row is far from ergonomic for adults for longer trips. The same problem haunts the F-150’s rear bench. A 6-footer’s knees will be levitating above the seat cushion.
You can replace all that gloss black with other trim options like wood or white. That solves the biggest interior problem and makes it look even better.
I wish I could afford the Navigator right now...rather than the 100,000+ miles Honda I have right now(still paying back 6 figure medical school loans). Also, as a physician myself, I have seen people come away from a catastrophic accident unharmed just because they drove a large vehicle like the Navigator. I have friends who work in Emergency Rooms (i.e. not nurses, but ER physicians) who have seen folks who have died from small (& modern vehicles) while they had their seatbelts on, all airbags deployed including side airbags and they were pronounced dead on the scene or on their way to the ER. Sorry to sound morbid, but that's reality and no matter of technology is going to circumvent physics. Bigger and larger cars are the way to go in terms of ultimate safety. Kudos to Ford for building the Navigator. I just wish more people have access to cars like the Navigator or ones like it.
As my first vehicle was a 1976 Lincoln Town Coupe', you have given me a well informed detail of this vehicle. When I first saw this new Navigator, I was at the ready to jump in. Yet, I'll have to wait until they get their act together for the "old school" drivers who can have diamonds cut in the back seat while in motion and "real" effects in the cabin. [Only the old Lincoln driver/owners know what I'm talking about.]
I just bought mine today. I have a 2012 model and am keeping it. I have only had 3 issues in teh lifetime of that vehicle. I love this one even though I have only had it for 3 hours. :-) I have done a ton of research. I thought I wanted the Escalade both in 2012 and this time but still ended up with the Navigator. Especially when comparing the 3rd row seating between the Cadillac and the Lincoln!
Wait two years and buy one for $45,000 with 20,000 miles. Late model used Lincolns are wonderful values; they're decent vehicles and they depreciate terribly.
I'm two videos in to your series, here, and I must say: I love the way you thoroughly review these vehicles from a place of true adoration. Being a gear head myself, I appreciate the depth of your reviews. The direction, the edits, the sound... Everything is executed masterfully. Dankeschoen. God bless, and I pray that your channel makes incredible strides.
We love our 2018. Fingerprinst and other things are minor issues. Ours goes to a detail shop once a week, so if you can afford to buy A Nav., then keeping it and paying for it to look new is not an issue. And you can get the black plastic chrome if the nickle chrome bothers your sensitive eyes lol. We've already ordered our 2020 model. Can't wait !
Well I thoroughly enjoyed your opinions and honesty with this vehicle, it's definitely worth a closer look as it's a huge comfy people mover.... Well done bro! 😎
"..the arm rests you could store probably all the ashes of your dead pets,.." - that's gold. Tonya sounds like a nightmare btw. 90K? I'll take a new Toyota Land Cruiser for that money thank you.
just a thought... while you younger bucks are into the black wheels, black chrome, black out... a large cross section of Lincoln buyers are from the days when Chrome was king...maybe...they will eventually offer a black everything to suit your taste.
I really like it and the fact its a truck not an suv bodes well, however, you get out of this and into a BMW X7 and you’ll never feel the same way about it. Completely different leagues.
i’m not a ford guy for various reasons but that unlimited drivetrain warranty is something worth looking into. I haven’t seen that offered really anywhere else and would very much worth it if i was interested in financing a ford or lincoln
What good is a powertrain warranty if the car falls apart around the powertrain? When the seat motors die, the infotainment crashes, and all the plastic rubs off the buttons so you don't know what they do, then what? Ever price out an electronic shock? Or a new cracked dash? Torn leather, bad shifter, rattly dash panels, door panels, power liftgate, power third row... Yikes man that's a LOT to be responsible for! This truck is filled to the BRIM with gadgetry that has a limited life and you're stuck when all that starts to break.
If you take the front bumper off and get a 4" lift and 44" tyres can it run over a prius? Also can I get it bullet proofed for when I'm driving through the hood with the hud on?
Man...driving into a construction zone in the inner city of munich, no one could drive next to you...this thing is so big, people here would find it obscene
Actually the chrome trimming is real chrome and the wood doesn't look like plastic nor does it feel like plastic. As far as the infotainment system it's one of the most easiest and there is never a need to use the screen for volume or preset satellite radio stations since there are nobs and buttons for that. Although the front seats are comfortable overall there is a seem in the mid back area that does feel uncomfortable regardless of the position. Also this is direct competition with Cadillac Escalade which is outdated. At least you tried.

They get to have their own volume nobs in back and their own piano black too. I have only one plasti-chrome trim around center shifter in Ram and it sure blinds me quite often. All other trims are like aluminum look, i wonder how that would look in Durango or this Navigator
I give you a lot of credit, I wouldn't even want to sit in that thing long enough to do the review.
I only see ONE thing wrong in this interior: YOU!!!!
The chrome is stately. Think rolls Royce and their shiny chrome. The marble on the door is elegant. I’d like to see that marble on the steering wheel rim as well.
I recently rented an Cadillac Escalade EXT for a 4-day trip. The interior comfort ends right at the border of 2nd row.
Due to the truck platform a 6 foot tall passenger’s legs in 2nd row are in an awkward position. The knees won’t be rested on the seat unless legs are extended forward.
So while there is ton of space in this car, despite that the 2nd row is far from ergonomic for adults for longer trips.
The same problem haunts the F-150’s rear bench. A 6-footer’s knees will be levitating above the seat cushion.
You can replace all that gloss black with other trim options like wood or white. That solves the biggest interior problem and makes it look even better.
I wish I could afford the Navigator right now...rather than the 100,000+ miles Honda I have right now(still paying back 6 figure medical school loans). Also, as a physician myself, I have seen people come away from a catastrophic accident unharmed just because they drove a large vehicle like the Navigator. I have friends who work in Emergency Rooms (i.e. not nurses, but ER physicians) who have seen folks who have died from small (& modern vehicles) while they had their seatbelts on, all airbags deployed including side airbags and they were pronounced dead on the scene or on their way to the ER. Sorry to sound morbid, but that's reality and no matter of technology is going to circumvent physics. Bigger and larger cars are the way to go in terms of ultimate safety. Kudos to Ford for building the Navigator. I just wish more people have access to cars like the Navigator or ones like it.
As my first vehicle was a 1976 Lincoln Town Coupe', you have given me a well informed detail of this vehicle. When I first saw this new Navigator, I was at the ready to jump in. Yet, I'll have to wait until they get their act together for the "old school" drivers who can have diamonds cut in the back seat while in motion and "real" effects in the cabin. [Only the old Lincoln driver/owners know what I'm talking about.]
3.5 L ecoboost HP is a great motor, but why not offer it with the 6.7L Power stroke. I mean for 90K. Why not?
I just bought mine today. I have a 2012 model and am keeping it. I have only had 3 issues in teh lifetime of that vehicle. I love this one even though I have only had it for 3 hours. :-) I have done a ton of research. I thought I wanted the Escalade both in 2012 and this time but still ended up with the Navigator. Especially when comparing the 3rd row seating between the Cadillac and the Lincoln!
That title is genius, had to like before the video started
Wait two years and buy one for $45,000 with 20,000 miles. Late model used Lincolns are wonderful values; they're decent vehicles and they depreciate terribly.
I'm two videos in to your series, here, and I must say: I love the way you thoroughly review these vehicles from a place of true adoration. Being a gear head myself, I appreciate the depth of your reviews. The direction, the edits, the sound... Everything is executed masterfully.
Dankeschoen. God bless, and I pray that your channel makes incredible strides.
I hate grey interiors, Ford really likes grey interiors
06acc i hate both gray and beige
Their are different color options buddy
CryTec There*, but when looking at used ones that's all I ever seem to find is either gray or beige interior
ANY interior color NOT black is most welcome!!!
Thomas Welcomer eh, anything but either all gray or all beige
unarguably the only *luxury utility vehicle* out there
By the way, the chrome doesn’t get that dirty. We have a navigator and it is dirty all the time, but you can’t notice it most of the time.
The BRAM FAM has this car!!
6:55 You about killed me w/that "Tonya" joke.
I'm sorry but the title of this video should have been called "Deep Conditions with Savagegeese".
This guy is like the only one saying that the Lincoln navigator looks cheap. I don’t understand his point of view
We love our 2018. Fingerprinst and other things are minor issues. Ours goes to a detail shop once a week, so if you can afford to buy A Nav., then keeping it and paying for it to look new is not an issue. And you can get the black plastic chrome if the nickle chrome bothers your sensitive eyes lol. We've already ordered our 2020 model. Can't wait !
Well I thoroughly enjoyed your opinions and honesty with this vehicle, it's definitely worth a closer look as it's a huge comfy people mover....
Well done bro! 😎
"..the arm rests you could store probably all the ashes of your dead pets,.." - that's gold. Tonya sounds like a nightmare btw. 90K? I'll take a new Toyota Land Cruiser for that money thank you.
just a thought... while you younger bucks are into the black wheels, black chrome, black out... a large cross section of Lincoln buyers are from the days when Chrome was king...maybe...they will eventually offer a black everything to suit your taste.
I really like it and the fact its a truck not an suv bodes well, however, you get out of this and into a BMW X7 and you’ll never feel the same way about it. Completely different leagues.
Thanks for your informative videos. You do an excellent job of helping to educate consumers like me.
As long as it picks up single moms the access interior gloss is forgiven.
Each time I drive by one of these there’s always gotta be soccer moms driving these..
yep! us housewives lol I am currently driving the qx80 infiniti.. trying to get a new one and going between the lincoln or the escalade Cadillac...
the lady who crashed my last car probably was a soccer mom or would be if she was older than 25 years old
This car is a beauty
Great review! I just bought one 2 days ago!! Love this review your an amazing cinematographer!!
I'm from the other side of the globe, and I LOVE IT !!!!
i’m not a ford guy for various reasons but that unlimited drivetrain warranty is something worth looking into. I haven’t seen that offered really anywhere else and would very much worth it if i was interested in financing a ford or lincoln
What good is a powertrain warranty if the car falls apart around the powertrain? When the seat motors die, the infotainment crashes, and all the plastic rubs off the buttons so you don't know what they do, then what? Ever price out an electronic shock? Or a new cracked dash? Torn leather, bad shifter, rattly dash panels, door panels, power liftgate, power third row... Yikes man that's a LOT to be responsible for!
This truck is filled to the BRIM with gadgetry that has a limited life and you're stuck when all that starts to break.
If you take the front bumper off and get a 4" lift and 44" tyres can it run over a prius?
Also can I get it bullet proofed for when I'm driving through the hood with the hud on?
Man...driving into a construction zone in the inner city of munich, no one could drive next to you...this thing is so big, people here would find it obscene
Beautiful content as always and amazing attention to detail. Thanks man
Actually the chrome trimming is real chrome and the wood doesn't look like plastic nor does it feel like plastic. As far as the infotainment system it's one of the most easiest and there is never a need to use the screen for volume or preset satellite radio stations since there are nobs and buttons for that. Although the front seats are comfortable overall there is a seem in the mid back area that does feel uncomfortable regardless of the position. Also this is direct competition with Cadillac Escalade which is outdated.
At least you tried.
WOW!!! $90,000
I'LL WAIT A COUPLE OF YEARS.
A Toyota Land Cruiser is $85,000 and a Bmw X7 comes in at about $75,000 and will not be as good as the Land Cruiser or Navigator off road.
My dad bought one 6 months ago. This thing is a tank. Black Label gets rid of some of the tackiness of the car interior.
I like the interior a lot better than the new Expeditions. But I agree with the glossy part.
Finally a review without the other guy just standing under the car in the garage and doing absolutely NOTHING!
