Just been reading the various reviews on the 2018 Lincoln Navigator.

Ford pulled out all the stops and has blown the competition including
the Cadillac Escalade and Infiniti QX80 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. Starts at $76K. $96K typical.

Mrs.E. loves Navigators. She has had three of them in the past.
Gotta keep her away from this one.

They must be really boosting the heck out of that thing with the
turbos to get that kind of power and torque from a 210 cubic inch
engine. I wouldn't want to be towing up a lot of hills with it but I
suppose most people will not use it that way. It will be interesting
to see if head gasket failures start showing up as a weak link in the
reliability reports. My wife's E320 has a slightly smaller V6 turbo
diesel which is rated at much less horsepower but 400 ft-lbs of
torque. It really launches when the turbo kicks in.
