2008 Lincoln Navigator

The 2008 Lincoln Navigator has been upgraded from the earlier models in terms of comfort and convenience. The Navigator in known to be one of the best and most luxurious SUVs on the market. The 2008 model is available as a standard Navigator model and the Navigator L with increased dimensions and fuselage capacity.

The 2008 Lincoln Navigator is also available in four-wheel and two-wheel drive packages. The 300hp generated by the 5.4-liter V8 engine remains a constant high quality feature of the Navigator. The mileage is a modest 18mpg on highways and 13mpg in the city.

The rear-view back-up assistance camera is introduced in the 2008 Lincoln Navigator, along with the powered rear liftgate. The 4x2 Navigator has the highest towing capacity.

Once fully equipped, the vehicle has a towing capacity of 9050 pounds – 500 pounds more than the 4x4 Navigator L.

2007 Lincoln Navigator

With the 2007 Lincoln Navigator comes a whole new experience in the Navigator series. The HID headlights are now accompanied by an enlarged grille that rises along the front edge of the hood. Needless to say, the fascia has also been modified. The 18” wheels can be optionally replaced by larger 20” wheels.

The 2007 Lincoln Navigator inherits the engine and the 6-speed automatic transmission of the 2005 and 2006 models. 5.4-liter triple-valve V8 keeps the performance at 300hp when the rpm is at 5000. The torque generated at 3750 rpm is still 365lb-ft. The front and rear suspensions are independent, while the chassis has been made slightly stiffer.

Dual-stage front, side-curtain and seat-mounted airbags are safety accessories included in the '07 Navigator. Accident risk is also reduced by the design of the frame. A Roll Stability regulation mechanism complements the degree of safety that the vehicle offers to its driver as well as its passengers.

2006 Lincoln Navigator

The 2006 Lincoln Navigator, like its 2005 counterpart, is available in two separate trim ranges – Luxury and Ultimate. Each range of this four-door luxury SUV offers car buyers the choice between a 4x4 and a 4x2 packages. The 4x4 version of the Ultimate model has better performance.

The 5.4-liter V8 engine is retained in the 2006 Lincoln Navigator,, and so is the six-speed auto transmission. These features are retained from the 2005 model, resulting in continued high performances. The engine still delivers the same 300 horsepower that it did in the previous year’s model.

The '06 Navigator has an optional Elite Package which includes 18” chrome wheels, a heavy-duty hitch for trailers, new HID headlights, a full audio entertainment system for the rear seat and an in-built navigation system.

2005 Lincoln Navigator

The 2005 Lincoln Navigator is an SUV (Sport-Utility Vehicle) that introduced the six-speed automatic transmission to its class of luxury SUVs. The vehicle is tuned to deliver smoother performances at low ranges of power.

A quick glance beneath the hood of the '05 Navigator reveals a few major changes. It comes equipped with 5.4-liter V8 engine with triple-valve cylinders and multiple point fuel injection. At 5000 rpm, the engine generates around 300 horsepower. The torque at 3750 rpm is improved to 365lb-ft.

The 2005 Lincoln Navigator incorporates the Roll Stability Control from Ford for better stability at higher speeds. Side airbags are provided not just for the front row of seats, but also for the row behind it.

Comfortably plush interiors, the suave leather upholstery, the powered mirrors and a CD entertainment system add to the luxury.
