Just been reading the various reviews on the 2018 Lincoln Navigator.
Ford pulled out all the stops and has blown the competition including
theÂ* Cadillac Escalade and Infiniti QX80Â* away with this one.
3.5L twin turbo, 450hp, over 500 lb ft of torque, 10 speed
transmission,
6 adaptive performance settings, premier seating for all and an
interior fit and finish that is superior to any of it's competition.
Quite a price tag though.Â* Starts at $76K.Â* $96K typical.
Mrs.E. loves Navigators.Â* She has had three of them in the past.
Gotta keep her away from this one.
Heheh...what does that barge weigh, three tons?, and with a 3.5 liter
engine, the same size as in my little truck and a Toyota with V6? With
twin turbos? Not an engine that is going to last long, pushing an
aircraft carrier.
Why would someone who can't afford one be concerned about the
Â* weight and engine longevity.
Why would I want a whale of a car?
I don't.Â* Mrs.E. is the one who likes them.
Even with the visual aids, it must be a bitch to park that aircraft
carrier. I watched a video review of it, though...has a really nice
interior. It would be a nice car for a long trip on the Interstate...but
I really despise those sorts of long drives. Hell, five to five and a
half hours to New Haven or nine and a half hours to Hilton Head is the
limit of my tolerance for that sort of driving.
