2007 Lincoln Navigator User Reviews

Excellent Full-sized Family Luxury — The Lincoln Navigator L is not the car for everyone. It is a perfect car however, for large families looking for a comfortable, luxury SUV. The "L" label stands for Long and places this Navigator in the same size category as The Cadillac Escalade ESV and Yukon XL Denali. For most buyers the extended wheel base, and cavernous storage capacity that comes with it, are largely extraneous, and not worth the hassle of constant 3-point turns and nerve-wracking parking garage maneuverability, but for large families that need a third row and room behind it for luggage, these drawbacks are easy to forgive. When it comes to fit and finish, luxury accessories, and comfort, the Lincoln goes toe-to-toe with the Cadillac and simply outshines the Yukon Denali. Unfortunately, theres only one available engine option, and its a rather underpowered 5.4 liter V8. Towing won't be a problem here, as the Navigator is rated to tow over 9000 lbs, but off the line you'll find yourself at a disadvantage when trying to pull ahead of traffic. Fortunately for Lincoln no one buys a full size luxury SUV to take to the drag strip, and what truly separates the Navigator L from its competitors has less to do with whats under the hood and more to do with whats behind the front seats. Passenger comfort, roominess, and overall functionality in the Navigator L is unrivaled. Even in the 3rd row, full sized, McDonalds loving, Gym hating, Americans will have no problem riding for extended periods of time. Standard power deployable running boards make exit and entry simple, while fold flat 3rd row seats make the conversion from passenger capacity to cargo capacity as simple as pushing a bottom (two buttons actually as the third row is split 60/40). For those people with several children, maybe some car seats and strollers, or just a lot of oversized luggage and a taste for Luxury, the comfort and usability of the Navigator trump the nimbleness of the Escalade and make it a near perfect option for families too stubborn to stoop for a minivan.

Primary Use: Family transportation

All Around Great, But Lacking "get Up And Go" — Great car. Kinda sluggish. Built like the F-150 its based on. A beastly yet fancy truck. Loved my previous Navigator that was a 2001. It seemed much faster. Even though this car is a little sluggish I would still remcommend it, but you tell people to look at the Ford Expedition first.
