Overview & Reviews

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.

• Lots of room for passengers and cargo, handles well for its size, stylish interior, smooth drivetrain, extensive list of luxury features.

• A few low-grade interior materials, V8 runs out of steam too quickly, some confusing controls, outdated navigation system.

  Poorly built and noisy - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
  By Fresno - June 25 - 10:00 am

  Looks nice and handles well, but fairly noisy. The decorative panels on the doors just fell off when the vehicle was only 9 months old!

  Second time around - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
  By nvbanker - April 5 - 10:00 am

  My first Navigator was a 99. After 5 totally trouble free years and 65,000 miles, I had to have the new 03 with the schnazzy interior. This truck is a much nicer design, with the 4 wheel independent suspension, the power folding flat 3rd row seats, and the unique interior. Its not as bulletproof as the 99 was for total trouble free ownership, but all the little glitches are minor, not functional. The 04s are a bit better I hear. I am very satisfied still, and havent seen anything Id rather have for the money, or size, yet.

  My First Lincoln - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
  By KSnav - December 27 - 12:20 am

  This is my 1st Lincoln & I really like it so far. Great ride & roomy for a big guy, my wife & 3 boys. The dealer has really been impressive & I will be trying out the service deptartment soon.

  I like it. - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
  By Monochrome Ultimate - January 28 - 10:00 am

  We bought our 04 ultimate after looking at the competitors such as Cadillac and the Denali. We settled on the Navigator because although it had less power than the others, the overall style, especially the interior was far above the Cadillac or Denali. We had traded in a 00 Expidetion on it and what a differance between the two. The new Lincoln is much more stable and does not wallow as like the Expy did. It would be nice if it had 400hp, but it does cruise very well and I have (dont tell my wife) triple digits on a deserted road quite easily.

  Change for the sake of change, 2004 Nava - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
  By alanmc - September 27 - 2:00 am

  I love my Navigator except the interior. The predcessors interior was perfect; but it is as if it was redesigned purely for the sake of change! The driver windows controls on the center console; on a bright day, you cant see the information readouts [the white lettering is virtually invisible,even at night without taking your focus off the road]; the console lid makes access to the console contents very difficult; the power outlet is out of reach of the driver; and what idiot assumed that just because you want to play CDs that you dont need a tape player? Since the interior is where I spend my time, my next SUV will be an Esclade!

  Lincoln for All - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
  By Doug Blair - September 16 - 10:00 am

  Interior; Fit & Finish very good - equal to any other Lincoln on the market. Adjustable to multi-driver families. Holds up well with children, safety beyond compare. Exterior; Fit & Finish best in class. Ease of use (towing, entry, exit), drivability with small turning radius, great ride, best in class all around.

  Doing ok so far - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
  By tennisdoc - August 7 - 2:10 pm

  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.

  navi review - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
  By davidt - July 4 - 10:00 am

  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.
