Ford pulled out all the stops and has blown the competition including

3.5L twin turbo, 450hp, over 500 lb ft of torque, 10 speed transmission,
Â*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.

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.

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

10 speed transmission helps a lot.

Harry still thinks " if its good enough for Harry it should be
good enough for everyone." ??

I read the one you posted. The ones I read were from Car and Driver,
Motor Trend, Edmunds, etc. They had very little bad to say about it.
In fact, they really think Ford out did themselves on the 2018 model.

Got a kick out of the Car and Driver review. They tried to get a
2018 Cadillac Escalade to do a comparison test with the new Navigator.

When Cadillac found out what the comparison test would be between they
refused to provide an Escalade for the tests.

Cadillacs are not well thought of by CR.
