2014 Lincoln Navigator 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 6A)
32 of 33 people found this review helpful
This my 3rd Navigator, 1998, 2003 and 2014. I am super pleased with the 2014 model. Comfort for me is priority #1. I tested several other models in the same price range and the Navigator came out on top. For a big unit like this it rides extremenly well. Gas cost at $3.40 a gallon represents a weekly cost of $11.00 in fuel vs 17mpg on any other vehicle. I am willing to pay the extra $11.00 a week for this SUV. The only mechanical problem was the A\C unit that had to be replaced nov 2019. As of today I stand by my review(dec2019). So far so good, Dec 2020. Still no mechanical problems.

2015 Lincoln Navigator 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 6A)

I have a 2015 Select Navigator L. Bought this truck in November of 2014 before the dealer had any on display in the lot and still got a great deal. Service has been very good. A year after buying the car I asked about replacing a seat cover that had a slight factory defect (wrinkle) I noticed when new but not till after purchase and bothered me over time. They did the right thing and replaced the seat cover under warranty ] to the tune of about $1200. Probably I'm lucky to have a good dealer but not all manufacturers would oblige me this way after the sale I'm sure. Like a previous review said this is a very nicely powered great riding and functional suv. I have had no issues and it tows my boat on vacations like it's not even there. Surprisingly easy to maneuver for such a large truck. It's so big I have to park it diagonally in my 3 car garage but bliss alleviates the need for hanging a tennis ball. The main thing is everything works well and I think Lincoln did a good job of updating with mature tried and true 6 speed transmission, ecoboost engine and bug free navigation. Voice command works well and features like nearby movie theatres and show times is really nice. Not super fast and interface is a little complicated but ultimately rewarding Bluetooth and hd radio sound best on the THX audio system.The platform doesn't allow for some of the newer features like adaptive cruise but I find incrementing the speed using the steering wheel buttons works well on trips and I don't have to worry about the car slamming on the brakes when passing a semi like I've read is happening with other manufactures who have bugs in their advanced electronics. Has all the nice luxury features I need like power everything (steering column, pedals, folding seats and heated and cooled seats standard. This truck is exceptionally quick, smooth, and roomy, and CAPABLE. Fit and finish is pretty good but not as good as like and escalade but then this is much less expensive and much nicer looking than the expeditions interior in my opinion. I like to research and am glad I bought this over its domestic rivals due to all the problems they are having with their all new designs which I think are too small inside and not advanced enough in their mechanical engineering which is where I think Ford has a leg up on the competition.

2016 Lincoln Navigator Select 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 6A)

I don’t normally write reviews for vehicles I own, but I have been so impressed with my Navigator I had to share with others that might be interested. I purchased my Lincoln Navigator a year old and 34,000 miles. In all my years of owning vehicles, I have never owned a car with over 120,000 that I felt would be dependable on long trips. Our Navigator is so strong and dependable, I have no worries taking it for 1,000 mile road trips at any hour of the day! I’m confident our Navigator will easily pass the 300,000 mile mark without any major issues. The eco boost engines do require proper care and maintenance. I religiously change the oil and filter every 5k with full synthetic high miles mobile one oil and motorcraft filer. I also have changed the plugs and coil boots every 50-60k. These engines have a tendency to have carbon build up, so staying on top of keeping your engine clean I believe is one of the reasons our Navigator is running so strong! Hope this review helps if your looking at purchasing a used Navigator.

2016 Lincoln Navigator Reserve 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
30 of 32 people found this review helpful
I have owned seven Expeditions and had wonderful experience with all of them. Very capable but unreliable. I test drove a 2016 Expedition and then a Lincoln Navigator. Navigator was superior fit, finish, ride and very quiet in comparison. I own a Lexus LS 460 sedan which is top of line Lexus. My Navigator is actually quieter than the Lexus. I was astounded. Other large SUVs such as Tahoe, Escalade, QX 80 did not have the capacity or the ride that I wanted. Also I had read about reliability issues on other vehicles. I have been driving large SUVs for 19 years and found this car is just easy to drive. So, I bought the 2wd Navigator Reserve. I could not be more afraid of a vehicle. Huge regrets. Since I last posted this review I had a total engine failure due to EGR valve. It was an item subject to a service bulletin. Lincoln should fix all of them before a breakdown. I was put in a dangerous position when it failed. Other than that, vehicle is still a wonder. I am now at about 19000 miles. After 43000 miles had issue of a slight squeak with steering colum cowel which was fixed under warranty. At just 51000 miles and out of warranty the throttle body failed again. It cost $850 to fix it. I am now on my third throttle body. I was told by dealer that the problem is the electronics in the throttle body that failed. Vehicle is dangerously unreliable at this point. Ford and Lincoln have no service bulletin on this but they probably should. As long as I have owned vehicles I have never heard of even one failing and I have two failures. Be wary. Now I have almost 100,000 miles on the car and have had zero other problems. It drives and looks as good as day I purchased it. Long live Navigator~ I now have 160,000 miles on the vehicle. Runs and operates the same reliable way as the day I got it. The interior and exterior are still in great condition. Leather is holding up very well. Everything in the vehicle still functions as it should. It is on third set of tires. I service it regularly and have changed all of the basic fluids more frequently than required to avoid any failure. I drive it gently to avoid stressing any system. Technology works perfectly with no failures. My friends cannot believe the amount of miles on it. I like the body style better than the 2018 to 2024 models as it has cleaner lines. The seats are larger and can accomodate me better than a new model. The engine is still peppy. I have changed plugs twice and replaced one injector. Make certain throttle body is serviced regularly as this is the only weakness in the entire vehicle. I do not know if my Navigator is a freak for condition and reliability but I have no intention of getting a new one until it costs over $20,000 to fix it. I can afford any SUV made and pay cash but will not change vehicles.
