  New 6peed automatic trans is a great feature. Engine power is excellent. I pull an RV it has plenty of torque. Economy is excellent for its size. Handling is superb.

  Worth the Wait - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
  By Rayw - June 29 - 2:00 pm

  I have waited for a couple of years to finally get a navigator (divorce). It was worth the wait. The ride is amazing, the sound quality of the THX Certified stereo is great. The conveiences abound. I research many vehicles and tried out a number. None came close to the Navigators looks, room or ride.

  Drove many different SUVs, ranging from Lexus 470 to Expedtion. This by far was the best SUV.

  PRACTICAL, SAFE, COMFORTABLE, AND FUN! - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
  By Ted Bliss - May 12 - 12:10 pm

  I spent many months checking out various vehicles before deciding on the Lincoln Navigator. Starting with no limitations on price, make or manufacturer, I initially ruled out many vehicles that did not meet my basic criteria, then proceeded to rank the remaining vehicles on a basis of safety, practicality, comfort, and lastly the "fun" factor. My basic criteria:- minimum seating capacity of 7 or 8, to accomodate family and friends- 4 wheel or all wheel drive available, to visit my in-laws- available safety, comfort and convenience features for long trips The Navigator met or exceeded these basic "requirements" and did it in style. My favorite features are listed in the next section.

  2004 Navigator - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
  By EngrJim - March 21 - 10:00 am

  After 12,134 miles in our Navigator we have had no problems, not even minor mechanical or electrical ones. The seats and ride are both very comfortable and the engine is more than adequate. On a 5,000 mile vacation drive to several areas of the west, we even took it on some 4 X 4 only roads meant for Jeeps and although a little wide in places it performed well and I used low range on it for the first time ever and it got us to some places with spectacular views. Very quiet inside and a comfortable ride!

  Great all around SUV - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
  By Jackson Brown - June 2 - 9:43 pm

  Size 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 am

  After 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 am

  After 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 pm

  I 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.
