Take flight!!
The truck is not great on gas but should a truck that comfortably sits 8, be good on gas? The interior cabin is flawless. You can ask for more, electric folding 3rd row seats heated and air-conditioned seats for the front and back. So much leg room for passengers even in the 3rd row. The power step railing makes it easy to get in out and look really cool doing it. The entertainment system insane. Bluetooth connectivity flawless, USB ports, aux input all put clever places. The pedals and steering adjust to the driver. It's rides like a dream!! I love this truck.

We love our 2010 Navigator
We needed an SUV to replace our minivan. We considered the Infiniti QX56, Yukon Denali, and Ford Expedition. We bought the Navigator because it had every feature we wanted, including fold flat seats, front and rear parking sensors, air conditioned seats, and roomy third row seat. The ownership experience to date has been fabulous. This is definitely the best vehicle we've had. It tows our boat well and the cabin is a quiet comfort zone. My wife and I both want to drive it - that's the only problem so far.

Sweet Ride for my 5 girls.
This is the best large SUV for the money. I'm 6'1", and I can sit comfortably in the 3rd row. Plus the seats fold flat. The competition simply could not measure up to that. Sync is awesome. Bluetooth phone just works and the voice navigation system is very nice. For the most part, the interior is first rate, with nice leather throughout. It's a very nice car slathered in luxury, and the best value in it's class, and I'm glad made the purchase.
A Great Navigator L 4x4
My 2011 Navigator L 4x4 is a Ingot Silver exterior and Charcoal Black interior beauty with 20" wheels and tires. This is my first Navigator L 4x4 after having had 14 Town Cars, an Aviator and a MKS AWD. The interior and exterior design, style, build quality, comfort and convenience are outstanding. I have no problems accessing and using all of the Navi's features with ease. The THX sound system, Navigation system and Sync capabilities are also excellent. The ride, handling, performance, reliability and responsiveness of the Navi are also outstanding. Highway, suburban and city driving is easy, comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the Navigator L 4x4 to everyone.
2011 Navigator 4x4
This is our first Lincoln Navigator after owning 3 Ford Expeditions. Our Navigator is White Platinum Metallic Tri-Coat. The color shows very little dirt. After putting 200,000 miles on our last 2005 Expedition (and it was still going strong), we upgraded to a Navigator. With 4500 miles on our new Navigator, we hope this SUV proves as "Ford tough" as previous Expeditions. We very much enjoy our Navigator, and have absolutely no buyers remorse. However being very pleased with three Expeditions (the last being an Expedition Limited), I am not certain the "Lincoln" brand is worth the additional cost. However, the Lincoln Navigator definitely turns more heads than a Ford Expedition.
Wasn't too bad until the 5.4 "death rattle"
Bought the vehicle certified used in 2012. Wife happy with vehicle until last month. 140,000 miles and engine dropped a cylinder. Apparently the 5.4 triton has a bad reputation for this. After several hundred dollars in palliative attempts, it was recommended by a Ford garage to just replace the engine due to its reputation. Only other issues were the running boards needed serviced at about 80,000 miles, the air blender occasionally makes the rattle related to plastic teeth failure. Headlamps are pricey to replace also plan on several hundred when they fail. Another issue should be the limited illumination of the high beams. Really no better than regular headlamps. Not convinced we would buy another.

Nothing larger or smoother for the dollar
Versus the Cadillac, first you save $20K when optioned out off the dealers lot, that's quite a bit. Second, you can put the Lincoln in 2 wheel drive, giving you better gas mileage and a better ride. Third, you get an independent rear suspension, with the L, long wheel base, nothing rides smoother in this class, period. A Suburban rides like a base pick-up on a gravel road, my previous vehicle. Fourth, the seats don't need to be pulled out (third row). Not only are they roomier, the fold right into the floor. I am a large guy, the third seat is a pain to get out of a GM vehicle. My 5.4 drove over Colorado at 10K feet altitude with plenty of passing power. Love the truck @ 48,000 miles!
Really enjoy it!
This is not a sports car nor is it a hybrid-if that is what you are wanting this is NOT the vehicle for you. It is a luxury, truck-based SUV...Its BIG...very comfortable, hauls a lot of your closest friends and family and 9000 pounds if you need it to. Not as hard to park as Edmunds would lead you to believe, actually has a great turning radius. With the Front and Rear parking sensors and back up cam you should have no issue with parking unless your trying to land in a "compact only" space. We had a 2006 Model and had no major issues with it other than normal wear-Very happy with the choice we made to purchase this one-Lincoln Certified Program is excellent.
Ages like fine wine....expensive fine wine
I still own my 2011 Lincoln Navigator. At 165,000 miles, its aged pretty well. Ebony and chrome exterior and ebony leather interior. I've kept mine very clean and since there aren't a whole lot of them out there, it stands out. It still rides excellent; its quiet, the interior has held up pretty good, and its got enough power to get the job done. I recently took a trip to Chicago with my family and drive 500 miles to get there. Right now, I'm moving into a new house and there's so much space that I have not had to rent a U-Haul truck yet. Since owning it, I've gotten the windows tinted and upgraded the sound system bypassing the factory amp, adding an equalizer, amplifying the speakers, and added another subwoofer. I also like that its Flex Fuel capable which I've used. You get a bit more performance, but AWFUL gas mileage and the flex fuel doesn't start well in cold weather. It also drives extremely well in rain and snow. You will never get suck using the 4X4 The downside is that repairs on this truck are VERY EXPENSIVE. I had a 3rd party warranty that covered my air suspension and one of my running boards. The other running board failed outside of the warranty and it was $1500 to fix. My remote start malfunctioned and it cost me $1000 to fix. My sunroof needed to be replaced and that was $2500. I replaced the seat module myself for about $50. Now granted, I got all of my work done at the Lincoln Dealership so I know the labor was the main expense, but many smaller shops would not touch it. Also, the infotainment system has not aged well. It does have Bluetooth and the navigation has 2019 maps, but no apple car play or android car play, the interface is very bland, and trying to use the voice commands to program an address for my navigation is cumbersome (the Sync 3 system is much better). Also, while the 12 speaker THX system is nice on paper, the factory sub is weak and the volume turns down over time hence me adding an equalizer, bypassed the factory amp to amplify the speakers, and added an additional subwoofer. Finally, like most vehicles in the Midwest, it is very susceptible to rust, especially under the running boards. While most of the frame is in really good shape, there are signs of rust. All in all, this truck is amazing! I still get compliments on it when I go out and people think its a new truck. Its comfortable, luxurious, I can haul people and items, and even though once in a while things will break down and break the bank, keeping up with maintenance and repairs will keep your Navigator running for a long time.
