2012 Lincoln Navigator: Any bigger and it would bite you!

2012 Lincoln Navigator

Load up!

The window opens separately from the hatch. Very practical for transporting very long objects like 2x4s or quite simply to put bags in without having to open the hatch.

Wood finish and leather are very nice, but don’t get too close: if you do, you’ll notice the poor assembly immediately.

This square style is rather outdated. It’s a long way away from the Lincoln MKT’s gauges.

The clock at the centre of the dashboard remains one of the most stylish features of the Navigator.

The second row seats are really comfortable but they’re very flat and none too supportive in turns. In any case, no one wants to go fast in a Navigator!

Welcome aboard!

While the sides of the vehicle aren’t as wide, the space in the third row is a lot better. Notice the headrest on the right side of the screen that lowers for improved rear visibility.

With all the seatbacks up, the trunk space is nothing to write home about. For more room, you’ll have to opt for the Navigator L

Now we’re starting to be impressed.

There’s a 5.4-litre V8 producing 310 horses and 365 lbs-ft of torque hiding under the plastic cover

The power-deployable running boards are practical

To get to the hitch, you just have to take off this small panel. It’s held on by two, easily detachable screws.

Maximum towing capacity: 8,700 pounds (3,946 kilos)
