We traded in our 2022 Ford Expedition for a brand new 2025 Navigator Reserve. While there are many similarities in the drivetrain and capacity, there are many upgrades that set it apart from not only the Expedition but also other similar large SUV’s. This version of the Navigator has a much improved ride over the previous model years but still not as good as the Escalade or the Grand Wagoneer. In my opinion however, that is the only area where the Navigator does not surpass the competition. The interior is modern and plush. You immediately know you are in a luxury vehicle. The massive dashboard is functional and impressive! Admittedly, the tech is at first confusing but once you become familiar with it, it is actually quite easy to navigate. Thee steering wheel controls are not labeled but once you get accustomed to their functions, it is an excellent system! A lot of people complain about the shape of the steering wheel. Personally, I love it! It is unique and makes handling incredibly easy! I’m not sure what all the fuss is about but I consider it an asset. As for handling, this vehicle is in the neighborhood of 6,000 lbs. Any critic of the handling of this vehicle seems to be oblivious to that standard law of physics. Whether you are driving a Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade or Jeep Grand Wagoneer, you will never get the handling performance of a Corvette. For a vehicle of this size, the handling is excellent! There is no body roll or swaying in high speed curves. Lincoln does a great job in these areas. The interior is plush with most surfaces covered in soft leather or wood. The driving experience is amazing and this vehicle will impress anyone who rides in it. It has great power and performance and in the 5,000 miles I’ve driven it at this point, it gets about 20 mpg on the highway and considerably less in town. I only have two other complaints overall. First, it would be nice for a vehicle of this caliber to have a cooling armrest box. It would be a nice addition! Second, the Bluecruise works extremely well! However, when it is sunny and there is some glare in the cabin, the safety interlock doesn’t always see your eyes watching the road and the system disengages. I will have the dealer look at this during my first service visit. Lincoln offers vehicle pick up and a loaner to use while service is being done. This is an included benefit when buying this vehicle. Overall, we purchased this vehicle with 7 miles on it for the price of $93,000 plus tax and tags. I thought it was high at first but we are incredibly happy with this purchase. A great vehicle!

We traded in our 2022 Ford Expedition to upgrade to the 2025 Lincoln Navigator. It was an excellent choice! We considered the Escalade, Grand Wagoneer and the GX 550. We decided on the Lincoln as we have had great experiences with the (Ford) brand. In virtually every category but one, the Lincoln is superior. For a vehicle that weighs around 6,000 lbs, it handles like a much smaller vehicle. While no vehicle this size should ever be expected to handle like a Corvette, the Lincoln surprises in that category. The steering is responsive and there is no body roll usually associated with such a large vehicle. The only area where the Navigator is not above the competition is the ride quality. Cadillac and The Grand Wagoneer have a superior ride but the Navigator handles a little better in my opinion. Also, there is a lot of attention being paid to the shape of the Navigator’s steering wheel. While it is unique, I personally find it a plus. It allows the driver to feel more connected to the vehicle and makes the SUV feel a little less intimidating. Next is the interior. The dashboard is impressive and the interface is among the best in any vehicle I’ve driven. The interior feels more refined than the Escalade or Grand Wagoneer. It is clearly a luxury model and there is no doubt for the driver or the passengers. There is ample room for 7 adults to ride comfortably with plenty of head and leg room and getting in and out is a breeze! While the ride is not as refined as the competition, it is however much improved over the 2024 model. This is clear when driving down the road and rough road conditions are more subdued than in the past. Driving the Navigator is not only fun but extremely comfortable. The Bluecruise works flawlessly! While it is a little strange at first, once you get used to it, long trips become much easier and less stressful! Performance is not usually a topic synonymous with a large SUV but the Navigator has plenty of power and merging onto any freeway is a breeze! Overall the Navigator is a relatively good value compared to other SUV’s in this class. While it is expensive, you get a great luxury vehicle for the price. You also get a large vehicle that get surprisingly good gas mileage at about 20 mpg on the highway. Anyone interested in a vehicle such as this, should take a look at the Navigator. A premium luxury SUV.
