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.

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.

Oh, look... it's the jingle writer that thinks he's a mechanical engineer.



There's a bit of a difference between Harry's Tacoma 3.5L V6 and the
Navigator's 3.5L V6. The most important is torque. Harry has about 260
lb ft. The Navigator has over 500. That's as much and in some cases
*more* torque than many of the six cylinder diesels used in some pickups.

Until she can see out the back of one.



She only worries about what's in front of her and often doesn't take
that too seriously.

Base curb weight, 5,926 pounds. I guessed three tons. Damned close. The
"L" model is more than three tons. Crikey. It weighs more than a new
Rolls-Royce, which has a Twin Turbo Premium Unleaded V-12 engine with
twice the displacement. The Rolls puts out 624 bhp.

Why would someone who can't afford one be concerned about the
weight and engine longevity.

Coming out of a small displacement engine for a vehicle that weighs
three tons. I'm surprised Lincoln didn't go with four turbos.

Put things in perspective Harry. The best Lincoln costs less than a 3rd of the cheapest Of today’s Rolls offerings.

Only found one model with that hp rating ... the Rolls-Royce Wraith.
Pricing *starts* at $312K.

10 speed transmission helps a lot.

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.
