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.
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.
