Not worth the operating cost - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
By Homer Gaines - February 23 - 6:03 amThe gasoline milage of this vehicle is far below what was stated on the sticker. Lincoln says its my driving habits, but whether I use a feather on the accelerator or not, it still gets 8 MPG in normal driving, and the best I have gotten on the highway is 14MPG. And thats with a mighty tailwind!

Great all around SUV - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
By Jackson Brown - June 2 - 9:43 pmSize makes it very versatile, performs more like a luxury car than a truck. Great in snow, yet quite on highway. STONG pulling power.

Edmunds does Underrate it - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
By Jon Levy - January 23 - 5:26 amAfter fixing a moonroof rain leak, the car is perfect. Checked out the Escalade, but did not like its warmed- over 1980s interior and dash. The Lexus 470 was a major disappointment... like a modest car trying to feel expensive and failing. The Gator interior is superb..... very luxurious... and the new features e.g. power liftgate, power running boards (and large, unlike Escalade and 470s much to small running boards), etc, make it by far the best choice. This is my second Gator.... the 1st being a 2002. This new one is even better. Oh, the LX470 has NO sensors on rear bumper for back up. Only a camera which is not nearly as helpful as the warning sounds.

2nd Nav., 05 Best Ever - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
By Oberwerk - October 27 - 8:10 amAfter 53K trouble-free miles on my 02 Nav, I thought an 05 Expedition Limited might be just as nice for 10K less. Test drove the Ford and was disappointed- not as nice as my 02 Nav. Then checked out the 05 Nav and was surprised to see how much theyve improved. Bought it and have been very pleased. Major improvement over my 02, and I was quite happy with that.

Great SUV - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
By Ricardo - June 16 - 5:10 pmI have had my 2005 Lincoln Navigator Ultimate 4x4 for about 10 months now. I bought it top of the line, except I didnt get Sirius Satellite Radio. I have had only one problem with it: the right power-deployable running board stopped working and would not retract. I took it to the dealership and they said that it short-circuited. They ordered a new running board for me and replaced it for free. The Touch Screen Navigation system is very easy to use. The THX-Certified surround sound system is like being in a movie theatre! The power liftgate is a great feature (which, by the way, is not available on the Escalade ESV Platinum which is about $5K more). Xenon headlights make the car stand out.

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
By Rick - May 25 - 12:50 pmI bought a 2005 fully loaded ultimate 4x2 navigator in September 2009. I had two jeeps and a fully loaded dodge ram pickup prior to this navigator and there is no comparison. I love my navi. It drives like a dream the engine is powerful and smooth. Love the air suspension fills like your riding on air. I will drive it until the wheels fall off and then my next car will be a navigator

Driving my Beast! - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
By Linny - April 9 - 3:43 amI have had 3 Jeeps, 1 Honda Pilot and none compare to my 2005 Navi. I bought it recently 20,000 miles. Just awesome all the way around. Black in color with all the trimmings...totally loaded. I actually have gotten a little better mpg than I had imagined. Very comfy even in the third road. I am going to invest in the Catch all brand of floor mats to protect the carpet and who could ask for more??? Love it! loVe iT! LOVE IT!
