so much fuel wasted...

[amorgan93]

lol. yeah, my grandmothers 1998 navigator has a 5.4L V8 and 4WD (4H, 4L, and A4WD). the little computer on the top says its getting an average of 9.7 MPG. lol

[CarboyX]

Maybe you haven't reset it yet? We get 12.2-14MPG average, depending on highway conditions.

[amorgan93]

It used to get around 13 but them she had some work done to it because it wouldnt pass inspection because of some sensor i think. now its at 9.7.

[VETTEFREAK101]

BEAST!! Damn the roaring of the engine is crazy. I love Navigators. Forget about Escalades, Range Rovers, Lexus LX570s, etc... the Navigator is where it's at!

[ghost1103]

hell yeah!

[SailorVenus91]

and people say 65k cars dont do well off road

[whotswrall]

i agree, it does have fords 4 wheel drive system to

it would get the job done lol

[rangerover06sc]

no i thinks its something new to lincoln

[1984SVOstang]

No, it hase the same trans, transfer case, front & rear diffs as the Expedition.. Better motor (in my opinion) & full air ride that teh Expedition lacks..

[1984SVOstang]

I actutlly took it to a real off-road trail park & it did fairly well.. No lockers & limited suspension travel make hard to get some places.. You should have seen the look on peoples faces when they see a Lincoln on a trail getting all muddy & dusty..

[rangerover06sc]

for 2003 the navigator had the 3 valve engine the expedition only has a three valve,plus air suspension is optional them as well,but this is pretty good for a suv with three open diffs!!

[1984SVOstang]

Incorrect, the 03-04 Navi's have a DOHC 32V (4 per cylinder) V-8.. Not the 3V motor that is used now.. The air suspension is standard on all 03-06 Navi's.. I'm thinking about putting in a front locker for some real off-road traction.. That should help a bit in the mud..

[rangerover06sc]

yah you right,i meant to say the air suspension is optional on the expedition,and that the expedition has a 2 valve engine.But in my opinion you would be better off with a rear locker,because theres more weight the back,causing more wheel resitance
