This Year's Model Updates:

The Navigator is now available in just two trim levels -- Luxury and Ultimate. Vehicles equipped with the Audiophile stereo now include separate tweeters for better sound quality. New safety features include a tire-pressure monitoring system as standard equipment and a Roll Stability Control feature (to help prevent rollover incidents) for the Advance Trac system. Sirius Satellite Radio is a new dealer-installed option.

Pros:
  • Lots of room for passengers and cargo, handles well for its size, stylish interior, smooth drivetrain, extensive list of luxury features.
Cons:
  • A few low-grade interior materials, V8 runs out of steam too quickly, some confusing controls, outdated navigation system.

  • Doing ok so far - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    Had my Navigator 1.5 years now. Was an impulse purchase for my now ex wife. Usually do research but wife loved her friends. Was real scared after purchase when I read the horror reviews. So far, few problems. Seats, what were they thinking? Like parchment, but still holding up. Ive had none of the electrical problems that have plagued reviews. Biggest complaint, dealership serves Lincoln, and Mercury. Service area is like the waiting room for a middle school. Infiniti and Lexus have comfortable waiting areas, and give loaners in a snap. After spending this type of money, service experience is like a Ford.

    Smoothest riding SUV on the market, Great seat space for families. Gas mileage better than expected. Downside-terrible quality interior materials for a vehicle this expensive. Leather is paper thin, interior trim parts that look like platinum has a sprayed paint look. We looked at all other SUVs and this one rides great, has alot of space, and good performance but interior is so cheaply made we will probably have to have interior redone in 4-years.

  • Best Ride Ive Ever Had - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    The ride is ultra smooth. The vehicle is totally responsive and surprisingly easy to maneuver. The load leveling feature is remarkable. The comfort is the best Ive had in 40 years of driving. It has more features than I imagined and a CD to show off the vehicle.

  • newer may not be better - 2004 Lincoln Navigator

    My 99 Navigator went 45K mile with only a seat heater repair. This (04) baby now with 40K has issues more often. Head light repairs (3) which is not just a bulb. My local dealer has to order parts which means multiple trips for something that used to be a 5 minute job. Air compressor for front suspension replaced. Both front door glass windows are scratched vertically for which the dealer says I dont keep the car clean. The car went back for bad spark plugs when new. Has a whining drivetrain bearing noise dealer says is the tires. Tomorrow shes going in for ABS and Advanced Trac warning lights. Finding power window switches while driving is a challenge. When its off warranty its gone

  • The true meaning of luxury... - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    I love this SUV much better than the unsafe Escalade. With so many more advantages over the big rival, the Navigator should be favored as much as it was before the 2002 Escalade.

  • Past the Honeymoon - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    The Navigator was our choice given our criteria of a few specifics such as a "real" third row seat, luxury appointments, and car-like ride. Lincoln did well with the overall exterior/interior design. Quality, on the other hand, is a whole different story. In this area, Lincoln can learn a few things from Toyota. At the end of the day, I like the Navigator. But my next purchase will most likely be a foreign car (read: Toyota).

  • I am very happy - 2004 Lincoln Navigator

    I like the way the car rides on the open freeway. It rides smoothly and provides enough power when I need it.
