This Year's Model Updates:

The 2003 Navigator may look like the previous year's, but significant changes underneath the sheet metal, such as a new suspension system and sophisticated new technologies, allow the Lincoln to continue to be a popular and respected choice in the luxury SUV market.

Pros:
  • Beautifully rendered interior, four-wheel independent suspension, roomy third row, gee-whiz gadgets like power-deploying running boards.

  • The 03s are made of cheaper materials - 2003 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    Although the seats and ride are much better the earlier models, the interior has been made with cheaper materials. They used a lower quality of leather. The steerinring wheel looks as though it came out of a cheap toyota corolla. You think that for a premium vechile they wouldnt have cheapened the product. They must have made them at the old chicken farm,....cheap, cheap, cheap..

    overall my 03 navigator is a vast improvement over previous models, an 1999 and 2001.. couple issues, but minor, - power mirrors do not function properly - climate control seats seem to have timer, works only 12-14 minutes - arm rests would be nice added feature - black brake dust on rims is never ending since new, very hard to clean

  • Simply the Best! Well, Almost! - 2003 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    This SUV is a hit! I really love what Lincoln has done with this new version. It is miles ahead of the previous years model and far above the competition in certain areas. With that, I do have some gripes, my radio went out on me while we were on vacation. After taking the vehicle to 2 dealerships, the problem still wasnt fixed. But fortunately, the corrective action was simple, the service people told me it appeared that certain early 2003s produced have a problem with the radio units. I had to remove all of the power to the unit by pulling all of the fuses for the radio and DVD unit. But overall all, I certainly highly recommend this new version.

    I fell in love with the new Navigator on my first test drive in August of 2002. My wife began saw it at a car show in February 2003 an she had to have it. The truck is loaded to the gills. I believe my 2 year old loves it more than any of us. This is a truck everyone should have.

  • Editors must be Nutz! - 2003 Lincoln Navigator

    Traded in a 99 Navvy on an 03. Felt like I got a good trade with the incentives etc. Have 3 kids. Boy has the Nav. matured into a high tech killer SUV! Doesnt surprise me that PDiddy likes it enough to put his name on them. The Escalade isnt even close in my opinion. As far as what matters in the real world, the Nav. has it. There are so many advancments, not just gadgetry but real useful innovative stuff! The 99 was very reliable and I hope this one will be too.

  • NIce truck - 2003 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    I traded in my 01 Toyota Sequoia for the Lincoln Navigator 03. To be honest, the Sequoia was smoother, quieter and had better acceleration. The Navigater does has a lot more "bells and whistles" and looks much more luxurious inside and out, but I sometimes wish I had the Toyota back.

  • Im tough on it - 2003 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    I push my truck around alot because Im always hauling around 3K lbs of boat all the time. Ive had some problems. The chrome on the grill was flaking. The back chrome accent the screws started to pop through. The air compressor shocks went out, and the airbag light was coming on too. The silenoid went out.

  • Died already - 2003 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    Ive had this vehicle for about 6 months and its been GREAT!! Until....all of the sudden I was riding down the street, the dash lights went dim and the truck died. Its been in the shop for a week and they still dont know whats wrong. Some sort of electrical problem. Theyve already replaced the battery and alternator. Not what I expected from a 50K vehicle! Thinking about going with Nissans new fullsize SUV when it comes out.

  • Pimpin in my Navi - 2003 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    I owned the older model before switching to the new model, and must I say there is a huge imporvment!! Its very quiet and luxurious. The power could be boosted up a bit, But the fuel economy is bad enough. The front chrome rims get dirty real fast, and are tough to clean, especially over Winter!! But the rest of the car is extremely positive!!! Its deffanitly worth it!!! All in all I am very pleased with my Navi!!!

  • Nav 03To Be or Not To Be... a lemon... - 2003 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    I just purchased this vehicle on 9/29/03 due to Fords 72 months/0% financing. I always wanted to own a Navigator. I have been back to the dealership three times. Excessive wind noise on the passenger door (due to a latch), replaced windshield fluid reservoir (sensor kept coming on),and replaced driver side mirror motor (cracking noise). I dont have a good feeling about this SUV. Any new prospective buyers... DONT DO IT. I was happier with my Tahoe. Dont get sucked in with end of the year deals. Ill keep you posted.
