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- A few low-grade interior materials, V8 runs out of steam too quickly, some confusing controls, outdated navigation system.

newer may not be better - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
By cape codder - May 1 - 6:13 amMy 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 John Neilson - January 21 - 10:00 amI 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 slchan - December 14 - 2:00 amThe 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
By beachgoer - November 10 - 4:13 pmI like the way the car rides on the open freeway. It rides smoothly and provides enough power when I need it.

Buy One if You Dont Mind Being Gased - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
By Shqipo - September 26 - 10:00 amThis large SUV is plain gorgeous. The seats are roomy, visibility is excellent, the ride is almost car-like, the third row seating is gracious. I would have appreciated a nicer material to be used on the inside door panels.

Decent Luxury SUV - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
By TVGiant - September 15 - 10:00 amI like the Navigator but having an 04 Escalade also lets me compare easily. The Navigator is tighter and steers better than Escalade but Escalade rides smoother and has more power.

I wanted to like it - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
By Bill Glass - June 20 - 2:00 amI turned in my 2001 for the 2004. I want my 2001 back. Ride is far superior to 2001, brakes are far superior to 2001 and stability is much improved, but. ......... there is too much wind noise, and the new transmission has very weird shift points, and you find yourself always up at 2200/2600 rpm until it finally upsifts. The navigation system is not what I expected. Plus you cannot alter your route or preferences once you pass 9 mph.The funny thing is that the two cup holders up front will not hold the travel mugs Lincoln give you, the handles collide. The new sound system is not as good as the 2001 where you could adjust acoustics

You have to drive one to believe it!!! - 2004 Lincoln Navigator
By TM1 - December 1 - 10:00 amThis is something that I recently picked up for my wife. We are expecting our first child shortly and I wanted to get her something that was safe, practical, elegant, rugged, and could perform. Needless to say, all of my avenues led me to my local Lincoln dealership in Clifton, NJ where I purchased the "Ultimate SUV". We love our Navigator. I would highly reccomend this car to anyone.
