The '''Lincoln Navigator''' serves as [[Lincoln]]'s full-sized [[Luxury Cars|luxury]] [[SUVs|SUV]]. The Navigator shares the same platform with the lesser [[Ford Expedition]] full-size [[SUV]]. Introduced in 1998, the Navigator has proven extremely popular, comprising 40% of the American [[Luxury Cars|luxury]] [[SUVs|SUV]] market in 2001. It is the larger of the two truck-based [[SUVs]] produced by [[Lincoln]] in the early 2000s, the smaller being the [[Lincoln Aviator|Aviator]] (which becomes the [[Lincoln MKX|MKX]] for 2007). While the current 2006 [[Lincoln]] Navigator ranges in price from roughly $50,140 to $62,645, the new 2007 [[Lincoln]] Navigator will feature a larger price range with prices ranging from $46,990 to $65,545.

==Generations==
Bad on gas.

==Third generation (2007—present)==
The 2007 Navigator was unveiled at the [[Chicago Auto Show]] in February 2006. It is joined by a long wheelbase '''Navigator L''' based on the [[Ford Expedition|Expedition EL]] and shares the new [[Ford T1 platform]] with that vehicle. The L model is 14.7 in (373 mm) longer than the standard Navigator.

The new Navigator sports a large chromed grille and "power dome" hood to emphasize its size and power. An [[independent suspension]] debuted in the second generation Navigator. However, the 2007 model has a greatly improved design that will cause the new Navigator to ride even better than the vehicle it replaces. The 5.4 L [[Ford Triton engine#3-valve|24-valve InTech]] engine remains unchanged, however, and is now surpassed in size by the 6.2 L unit in the competing Cadillac Escalade.

Although most other Lincolns will adopt a three-letter name for 2007, the Navigator name (as well as the [[Town Car]]) will remain unchanged.

==Second generation (2003–2006)==
[[Image:Lincnavigator.JPG|thumb|right|250px|2003 Lincoln Navigator]]

The Navigator was updated in 2003, along with the [[Ford Expedition]], on the new [[Ford U platform]]. The interior was also substantially revised to bring it up to the level expected by luxury buyers. Some ingenious features debuted with this redesign, including power-deployable running boards that deploy when a side door is opened, a power liftgate, and a power folding third row seat.

Tire-pressure monitoring was made standard for 2004, with [[stability control|Roll Stability Control]] an option, and the mid-level ''Premium'' trim line was deleted. Along with a light facelift the powertrain was revised for 2005, with the [[DOHC]] 5.4 L [[V8]] being replaced by a new [[SOHC]] [[Ford Triton engine#3-valve|3-valve]] design borrowed from the [[Ford F-150|F-150]], driving the wheels through a new ZF Friedrichshafen AG-sourced 6-speed [[automatic transmission]]. The stability system was now standard on all models. An ''Elite'' package for the ''Ultimate'' trim includes a [[THX]] audio system, rear-seat entertainment, and [[high-intensity discharge|HID headlights]] for 2006, the last year of this generation.

==First generation (1998–2002)==
[[Image:2001_Lincoln_Navigator.jpg|thumb|right|250px|2001 Lincoln Navigator]]

The 1998 Navigator introduced the concept of the American luxury SUV, competing at first with only the [[Land Rover Range Rover]]. It was trimmed with leather, wood, and fine carpeting, but its humble pickup truck roots could be easily spotted. This didn't slow sales, though, upon introduction of the Lincoln Navigator for the 1998 model year waiting lines for the Navigator formed. Competitors from [[Cadillac]] and [[GMC|GMC]] with the [[GMC Denali|Denali Series]] quickly followed. Much like the [[Cadillac Escalade]], the Navigator found a spot with celebrities and the customized truck scene.

Upgrades came just one year later with a more powerful [[DOHC]] ''[[Ford Triton engine#4-valve InTech|InTech]]'' engine and power-operated pedals. More luxury features appeared in 2000, including a satellite [[Navigation System|navigation system]] and reverse sensing system as well as side impact airbags. No more major changes were made in 2001, and the Navigator was redesigned after 2002.

==Worldwide==
If the [[automobile|vehicle]] is sold in other markets worldwide, then this is the section to mention that information. Also, mention if the <MODEL> goes by another name in these other markets.

==Design quirks and oddities==
Refer to any pop-culture tidbits about the [[Automobile|vehicle]] in this section.
