Lincoln Navigator - Fully Equipped and Then Some

Big? Big is an understatement. Sure it doesn't take up enough real estate to warrant its own postal code like Ford's titanic Excursion, but the Expedition based Navigator covers a fair patch of pavement just the same. While those in the 'environmental church' find the premise of such a machine blasphemous, most everyone else appreciate them for what they are, simply the best trailer towing, family haulers to ever grace the planet.

The Lincoln takes its hauling duties upscale, with a truly luxurious interior. Standard features include leather seats and trim, wood dash, console and door inserts, power windows and locks with remote access, powered and heated outside mirrors, and electronic climate control separated for front and rear passengers with steering wheel mounted controls. Alternative steering wheel buttons allow adjustment of cruise control, audio and climate control systems. Other standard features include tilt steering, a 9-speaker premium audio system with in-dash CD and console mounted CD changer, heated front seats with 8-way power adjustment and memory settings that adjust not only the seats, but the power pedals and mirrors as well. And that's just getting things started. My test vehicle also featured options such as a power moonroof, air-conditioned seats and GPS navigation system. Other standard features include an auto leveling suspension, 17-inch alloy wheels, skid plates and 4-wheel discs with ABS.
