This Year's Model Updates:

Auxiliary climate control is standard on both two- and four-wheel-drive models. Both the second- and third-row seats get lower child safety-seat anchors. Lincoln now offers complimentary maintenance at no additional charge for the first three years/36,000 miles in service.

Pros:
  • Good selection of both standard and optional features, updated styling, improved seat leather, huge cabin.
Cons:
  • Drives like a truck, rides like a truck, barely gets double-digit fuel economy, cumbersome to park.

  • Navigator is King - 2001 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    This vehicle has been awesome, my wife and I love it. We have never had to do anything other than regular maintenance, oil changes and tire rotations. I cannot think of better vehicle to take on a long road trip with children, and the size and weight gives me a feeling of security for my wife and children, the only negative of the vehicle is the fuel consumption. We do most in town driving and get around 13.5 miles per gallon, but it is a small price to pay for the luxury, comfort, and ride.

  • Big Beautiful SUV - 2001 Lincoln Navigator

    This has power, style and charm. This is the best SUV value out there if you are looking for a good balance between luxury and utility.

  • Safe, Reliable and BIG - 2001 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    I thought I could never get used to being so high off the ground and never fit into a parking space again. Turns out, the opposite is true. This is an exceptional vehicle. The ride is very smooth, its fantastic in the snow and its luxurious. The only downside is the gas mileage.

  • Great vehicle, bad fuel economy - 2001 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    I have owned my Navigator for 4 years, and bought it with 21000 miles on it and now have 125000 and it runs like the day I bought it. Drives and runs great, this vehicle is tops in every category except fuel economy, but the ride and comfort almost outweigh the frequent, costly trips to the gas station. In 100,000 miles I only have done routine maintenance.

  • Buy it used, get it for 1/2 the money! - 2001 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    I just purchased this creampuff two weeks ago. I cant believe I am going to be paying $500/mo for 5 years for a used vehicle, but compared to the lease on a new one, which would be even higher and leave me with zero equity, this seemed like the way to go. Most people who I know have assumed our Nav is brand new. On the first fill I seem to have gotten about 17 MPG - doesnt seem realistic given other reviews on here. Next fill will tell all. 15 MPG would be OK in my book. The truck seems to run just fine on reg. gas - with these prices thats a big deal. The acid test will come next month when we finally move from NJ to FL.

  • 220,000 miles and still going strong - 2001 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    Just purchased mine the other day from the original owner who drove it daily back and forth from Cinci to Cbus. I couldnt believe how solid this thing is with the miles! Time will tell how long this thing lasts but I wouldnt be afraid to take this thing halfway across the country!

  • Thought it was great till warranty over - 2001 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    I actually thought this was one of the best cars I ever had and never even bothered to check reviews until I started experiencing problems at 75K mi. Sorry, but a drive train should not fail at 75K. Everything imagineable went wrong. Found out I had a defective transmission - sorry warranty up, car would not start then all of a sudden would be OK. Couldnt find a problem until the fuel pump went out solid - after the warranty was up. The car always pulled to the right - could never find anything wrong - got worse as the car aged. It seems as though literally everything started to break just as the warranty was up.

  • New and Happy - 2001 Lincoln Navigator

    Just bought it and loving it. Classy and sophisticated. Fuel economy is to be expected due to large engine and vehicle size.
