1999 Lincoln Navigator Review (continued)
Add your own review or comments

Summary

For little more than the price of a fully loaded Ford Expedition, the Lincoln Navigator carries more dramatic styling and a longer-running warranty. Navigator has a slightly softer ride as well, without sacrificing decent handling or much in the way of off-road capability. Fuel economy isn't a strong point, however.

A new 300-horsepower engine is expected later in the model year that will give the Navigator a performance edge as well.
