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.
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.
It does 0-60 in a little over 6 seconds. That doesn't seem to be
underpowered. I doubt Mrs E will keep it long enough to wear out the
engine.
I wasn’t questioning the horsepower output, but the wisdom of powering a
three ton car with a small engine.
Now you sound like those 60s-70s guys who said big block V-8s were the
only way to go.
If this thing performs well and lasts as long as he plans on keeping
it, why not.
My FIL went from a Northstar V-8 to a 2 liter turbo in his "always
red" CTsumpin Cadillac and he says he barely noticed the difference
Have you ever witnessed Harry *not* put down something someone else was buying?
Rarely, unless it's his dumb friend Donnie. He got a pass for buying a
Bayliner from Krause.
