While no longer the icon it was in the late 1990s, the Lincoln Navigator carries the distinction of being the first full-size SUV to be offered by a domestic luxury brand. Born at a time when SUVs were becoming ever more popular, the Navigator -- big, imposing and flashy -- was initially seen by some as the ultimate rolling status symbol.
Sold in two generations, the Lincoln Navigator is a traditional body-on-frame SUV with standard Lincoln Navigator Accessories. In either generation, the Navigator offers seating for seven to eight, well over 100 cubic feet of cargo capacity and a tow rating of over 8,000 pounds. As such, it often appeals to large families with a boat or travel trailer. The availability of a dual-range four-wheel-drive system means that the biggest Lincoln has some off-road capability as well. Most Navigators, though, are fitted with running boards and aftermarket wheels, and rarely see trail duty.
Drawbacks to the early Navigators included subpar fuel economy, sluggish acceleration and sloppy handling. Fortunately, Lincoln has refined the formula over the years, and the result is a full-size SUV that offers a reasonably pleasant driving experience, along with one of the most accommodating third-row seats in the heavyweight class. We're not ready to call the Navigator the best of the large, luxury-brand sport-utilities, but it's still worth a look, especially for buyers who carry more than five adults on a regular basis.
