No replacement for displacement
We’re a Ford family, a new Superduty every 3-4 years for towing and still have my 2003 F-150 for routine ranch duties. I can count on one hand the number of check engine lights in >15 years and hundreds of thousands of miles (and tons), on multiple trucks. That being said there was a lot of gripes for my last Navigator (‘08), wallowing with every breeze or rut, gutlessly, down the highway. Grudgingly we stuck with the always-something-wrong but more planted and fun to drive Escalade ESV’s—just never past the end of the warranty. Lincoln finally did it right and this is easily the most comfortable vehicle I’ve ever owned: the seats are unparalleled, ergonomics are perfect, great storage and it drives like a crossover. My only gripe is I miss the Caddy’s V8 punch. Although the speedometer climbs faster it just doesn’t feel as fast or confident during 2-lane highway passing. It linearly hurdles into, and calmly/quietly handles, speeds which get you one free phone call and maybe that’s why it doesn’t feel as fast but I really wish the turbos were blowing into two banks of 4 cylinders. Well and the rear TV’s can only be figured out by the kids. Of note we’ve averaged 16.6 MPG over ~8,300 miles of mixed driving, albeit we live in rural Texas so not much city and higher-speed highway.

Lipstick on a Pig - Junk
After 15 months, nine times in the shop and 45 days without my car, my brand new 2019 Navigator has FINALLY been deemed a lemon. The transmission was slipping and the engine was burning oil. Lincoln told the dealership to put oil in the car and give it back to me!!! Lincoln refused to replace the engine as well as the transmission. Sadly, I absolutely loved my Navigator. It had all the bells and whistles you could ever want but mechanically the car was junk. Please don’t fall into the same trap we did. These are beautiful luxury cars but they are horrible and Lincoln’s customer service is by far worse than the vehicle they built. There is no customer service whatsoever! It was a horrible experience and I’m glad it is finally over. We are one and done for any Lincoln product in the future. As we went through this process we have discovered several other people that have had the same problem.

Love! Love! Love it!!!
I moved from the Cadillac Escalade to the Lincoln Navigator and I am so happy I did. The seats are so amazingly comfortable, I feel like we all have more room (even though I went from extended version of Cadillac to the smaller sized navigator) and the technology is amazing! It drives so smooth and has so many wonderful features! Couldn’t be happier!
Dealer crashed the vehicle due to computer problem
UPDATE!!! I FILED FOR LEMON LAW AND FORD HAD TO BUY THE NAVIGATOR BACK FROM ME!!! Three months ago, my dealer picked up my 2019 Navigator L Black Label for service. While in their possession they crashed it due to an ongoing technical problem and backed it into their building causing over $44,000 in damage to the vehicle. Now, three months later, Ford is unable to provide some of the parts. In particular, the glass for the rear tailgate; the sensors for the cross vehicle detection system, and others. The crash was caused because when one of their employees went to put the car in reverse, it lunged backward apparently at full throttle and crashed through a wall in the dealership, causing over $44,000 in damage to the Navigator. While the dealership has been very helpful, getting the parts from Ford is a problem. Also, since I have had ongoing issues with the vehicle's computers, I am now scared to drive it.

Have owned for a year now... here’s the take on it
I traded my 2015 Cadillac Escalade for the Navigator L. After one year, here are the facts... Hate and I mean hate the rear seat entertainment system - DO NOT opt for it - it was a $2000 con (it can’t be controlled from the front so toddlers can’t use it) - Lincoln just shrugged its shoulders. After a year, mine still has the plastic on the screens - useless. Love the seats and the ride compared to the Escalade. Hate the piano key shift - thought it was cool until doing 3 point turns. Getting any parts for the car is a nightmare right now (COVID). Safety features like the backup cameras are much better on the Escalade (camera does not auto switch to front camera when put in drive after backing up - the Escalade does this automatically). If Cadillac upgrades their seats and reliability, I will be returning my business to them.

The luxury SUV you’ll ever want to drive.
I went from luxury sedans all of my life to a Black Label Navigator. By far the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven. Just drive one first to see if if the size to too difficult to maneuver. It took me a couple of days but piece of cake now. At stop lights on lookers stare. It an awesome ride. Brosky

Beautiful suv
I've had this SUV for a year now and I drive it up and down steep, curvy mountains in PA often and drive 8+ hrs straight on trips. I love it. I've only had one issue so far, and it seems like it was a freak thing...the driver side door would not close during a cold winter day right after I got it. But Lincoln sent a tow truck (for free) to pick it up and they replaced the latch just in case. The seal must have froze, which has never happened to any of my cars without rain, ice or snow involved. It was a dry day, so not sure how it happened; faulty seal? I love driving this thing, you sit very high up, like a typical large truck and the seats are SOOO comfy. The front seats massage and are heated, with soft leather. So nice. And the controls are intuitive, easy to change settings, and just very nicely organized. We use the back seat row all the time...it's good for constant use for adults. They're not "just in case" seats to use occasionally like other SUVs. The rear could use better suspension, I think they improved this on the newer models. You feel the motion in the back more than middle or front seats. Not a place to be if you get car sick. A big down side of having a Lincoln is the service department was terrible at my dealer. Was NOT luxury treatment. For a car this expensive, I expected better service. On the physical side, the storage is limited...the trunk size in this non-L version is tight. I have to put back seats down constantly to haul ANYTHING. I went from a Honda Odyssey to this, and I miss that trunk space. But this SUV is powerful and very pretty. Great safety features, fun to drive, very fast, nice sound system, good tow capacity. Love it.

Engine noise
This a review of a 2019. The engine has a loud noise when starting it. I have found one other person experiencing this same issue. I am now experiencing a vibration under the gas pedal. When I am coming to a stop the vehicle jerks a little.

Great truck but sometimes not so great.
First off it’s a love hate relationship. I love the truck most of the time. Big, roomy, the most comfortable truck I’ve ever owned. Love the styling, the retro yet modern interior. The stereo, revel ultimate, is fantastic. The massage seats are great. The performance is outstanding. Plenty of power and handles much smaller then it’s size. Gas mileage sucks but to be expected from a truck this size. The cons however is that the truck is not super reliable. I’ve had issues with my 18 that were so bad I had to trade it in on the 19 I have. This one is much better but still had to have the cam phasers replaced, heater hoses replaced, and little stuff like the lights for the seat control. Overall I still love the truck but wish the little things would stop breaking.

Move over GM - Lincoln stole my heart
I have been a life long GM SUV driver... from Cadillac to Denali, I bleed GM and have enjoyed those vehicles for many years. I never even considered changing to a Ford badge until I drove the Navigator... and it is no Ford. Quite ride, fantastic seats, refinement, technology and head turning beauty. Hats off to Lincoln on the Navigator - it quickly swayed this GM junkie to become a hard core Lincoln Navigator fan. You will not find a better luxury to the dollar value than this vehicle. Can't wait to see what they do next!

Don’t Let the Bells & Whistles Fool You - LEMON!
2019 Lincoln Navigator is known to have issues, just one goggle search will show you them. I’ve experienced them firsthand. What was a $120k car is now KBB valued at $32k just 4 years later. I’ve spent most of that time taking it into the shop. The twin turbo engine blows through oil, so you have to put in oil in between changes. Additionally the computer system goes on the fritz, and causing all sorts or malfunctions. Ford and Lincoln have been unable to resolve no matter how many times I go in. They also would not honor the lemon law, so I have to get a lawyer involved. Please don’t make the same mistake I did. I’ve never had a more high maintenance, unreliable car and a very poor investment. It’s a beautiful car, but don’t let that fool you. I’d look elsewhere and save yourself time and money.

Great ride and performance! Usually trade every 2years, car so trouble free I can’t let it go!
Love the ca with a lot of troubles
Very comfortable and high class SUV. At 110k miles the problem are heater hose blow a few times, transmission issues and timing chain. Since I reached 100 k pretty much every month have to pay a visit to my Mechanic.
