[edit] Engine Clarification

In 1998, the Navigator debuted with a 5.4L 2V (16-valve) SOHC V8 sourced from the Expedition/F150.
In 1999, the 5.4L 2V was replaced with the Lincoln specific "Intech" 5.4L 4V (32-valve) DOHC V8.
In 2005, the "Intech" 5.4L 4V was replaced by the 2004 F150's 5.4L 3V (24-valve) SOHC V8.
These are the facts, please refrain from reverting correct information in the future.

FYI the 3v is called "Triton" in all ford literature. CJ DUB 17:37, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Whichever the case, you will need to stop this slow but persistent edit war. Find a solution on the talk page first but do not revert back and forth. Signaturebrendel 18:22, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

You are wrong: [http://www.lincoln.com/navigator/models.asp

http://www.lincoln.com/navigator/models.asp]. Have a look at the features and specs of the vehicle, then change the page, as me and the other guy have suggested. Here is an excerpt "5.4L SOHC Three-Valve V-8 Engine Navigator’s 5.4L Triton® Three-Valve SOHC V-8 engine provides impressive off-the-line acceleration." Please show me how this is called the Intech engine if you can. CJ DUB 13:22, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

WE NEED TO HAVE MORE HORSEPOWER 400+

[edit] Transmission

I believe that the transmission in the 2003-2006 Navigators was a 5-speed not a 6-speed

You would be wrong. 2003 and 2004 Navigators had the Ford 4R100 4-speed, 2005 and newer received the ZF 6-speed. TheBalance 14:54, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

This should have a 400+hp engine like the competitor!!

[edit] $100k Navigators

The Navigator does NOT start at $60k and does NOT range up to $100k in price. PLease make sure your information is correct! Only with heavy customization can a Navigator cost up to $100k. But then again any car, even a Toyota Corrolla, could technically be customized to cost $100k. Signaturebrendel 19:01, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Corrected outlandishly incorrect pricing information and false Aviator information. Aviator is not in any way related to the MKX--it is a Ford Explorer-based vehicle. The MKX might be considered its replacement for the 2007 model year. --KJRehberg 05:04, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] removal of owner's list

I am removing the owner's list at the end of the week as it was discussed in the Maserati MC12 article that came to light in the Ferrari Enzo page, which although referenced, but when submitted for peer review, several people said to remove the list. If there is any objections feel free to mention it here. Willirennen 11:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Enough with the damn image warring

Will you all just cut it out, please? White background is preferable to clutter. --Sable232 17:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Remove 3rd Generation Classification

I believe that this should be labeled as an update to the second generation, because that is all it is. No new chassis, same greenhouse and overall design. Anyone agree?

I don't know what you mean by "greenhouse" but I agree with you. Except for a new front fascia and updated interior it is pretty much the same car and recognizable as such. Regards, Signaturebrendel 05:18, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

When I talk about the "greenhouse" that is the shape of the cabin. If you look, the doors, mirrors, windows, and basic sheetmetal are the same. This said I will now incorporate the "third gen" into the second, and delete the third gen designation.

Thanks for clarifying. The shape of the cabin has definitely remained the same. Signaturebrendel 19:55, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Why was the third generation section restored? There has not been a 3rd generation Navigator yet. The 2007-present Navigator is what is called a refreshening in the auto industry. The chassis and major components are all the same as the 2003-2006 Navigators. A new generation is when there is a new chassis or a significant re-do of the vehicle, the "so called 3rd Gen." Navigator is none of these. Red.66mustang (talk) 11:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Competition with the Escalade

The article says that the first generation Navigator competed only with the Cadillac Escalade, but at first not even this was the case. Cadillac dealers were livid that they had nothing to compete with the Lincoln Navigator. Cadillac's front office remained in denial for a bit, before finally badging-up the GMC Yukon Denali as the first Escalade.

Or at least that's how I remember it from ten years ago. If this is the case, I think that the relevant section of the article should be written to reflect it. TJSwoboda (talk) 01:01, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
