Review | Lincoln Navigator | $90,000 Condo on Wheels 

this is the american car market in one car.

*People: I miss big old American cars* *Lincoln: **_hold my beer_*

I like how the "Goose" identifies some of the companies who manufacture different components of the vehicle (the radio, infotainment, HUD, etc.). I think people tend to forget that no automaker builds every single part of its vehicles in the same factory, therefore a secondary or third party vendor is often responsible for a specific car brand being labeled as problematic.

I own the new Navigator black label trim. After 6 months none of the black piano plastic has scratched, and is rather finger print resistant. I keep a micro fiber cloth in the center console and the car looks brand new. Plus Lincoln gives me free interior/exterior professional detail every year. The vehicle is absolutely amazing.

"this thing can do pretty much what a mini van can do without the stigma". Wow, what a loaded statement.

Finally a Lincoln that is beautiful again. It is nice to see such an iconic brand make good decisions. Well done Lincoln. Cant wait for the Aviator. Stunning.

Everything this guy doesn’t like about the interior is the reason I bought one.,

99% sure that all the shiny bits in the Navigtor are real metal. You said they were not. The stuff that looks like wood is real wood. You need to check out the black label if you want to be impressed.

Test drove one and was impressed. Very quite, great interior, smooth, powerful, stoped and cornered very well,,,,,but I bought a Raptor instead plus a Honda Si, got two rides for the same price. If I still had kids I definitely would have the Navigator.

My soul is telling me I need this, so I must have one of these.

Love the adult finger action when pressing the seat fold down buttons

ive been looking at this car ever since last year and im convinced its the best of its kind

I've driven one today and I have to say it is amazing, all the comments below have not ever been in this truck to truly judge it.

Its simple, but I absolutely love your driving impression intro shot with the camera that swings into the driver seat. Looks awesome and makes me smile every time.

Thanks for finally reviewing this car, Mark! Your videos are amazing! Keep up the great work! ;)

"Back massager." I laughed so hard I almost spilled my gluten free organic soy mocha latte.

I had to subscribe. I have loved cars since I was born and you make videos like you’re talking to me and only me. I feel so special. You’re amazing. Thank you for what you do.

A great review. Honestly, This beast is handsome! Eventhough if the Escalade had the upper arm in sales, Lincoln blew it out the park with this one! Quality, Features, Looks, etc. you name it! To me they are back and I can't wait for the Aviator. While they're at it make the new Continental RWD with suicide doors and a v8. Might as well bring back the towncar as the ultimate flagship, Even the Mustang based lux coupe! Other than that, Love ya Lincoln!!

I'm two videos in to your series, here, and I must say: I love the way you thoroughly review these vehicles from a place of true adoration. Being a gear head myself, I appreciate the depth of your reviews. The direction, the edits, the sound... Everything is executed masterfully. Dankeschoen. God bless, and I pray that your channel makes incredible strides.

Your the only review, I’ve heard gripe about the interior look. Looks great to me.

What a wonderful strong thorough presentation presented in a soft way. Excellent editing with great commentary. Thanks for posting

Driven a few at my job and it really does put the Escalade on notice! Drives much smaller than it is.

This destroys an Escalade inside and out. Thank you for the informative review

This is the greatest channel on RU-vid

Tonya sounds ratchet af

Thumbs up for the good filming and videography 👍🏻

Great review! I just bought one 2 days ago!! Love this review your an amazing cinematographer!!

Beautiful content as always and amazing attention to detail. Thanks man

Thanks for your informative videos. You do an excellent job of helping to educate consumers like me.

all these full of quality reviews.. this man is something more than doug

Well I thoroughly enjoyed your opinions and honesty with this vehicle, it's definitely worth a closer look as it's a huge comfy people mover.... Well done bro! 😎

This is the perfect vehicle for going through a Wendy’s drive thru.

I love this suv! Definitely need this for my transportation business for my High in clients!!💯✊🏽❤️

Loving the camera work!

It looks 90s era huge.

Excellent review. Thank you.

Man they should have given him a Black Label Navi. It’s leather is on another level.

Cant wait when these are 5,000$ in two years

Just purchased a brand new one and I love it

Always excellent content

Between the Buried and Me? Whoah! Not something I'd every expect to see in a car review. Excellent taste in metal.

Second.. Great review Mark.

This guy seems like he's kinda upset that he can't find anything really wrong with this beautiful truck. Lol. It's a dream luxury car/truck. Nothing "should" be wrong with it....

US car manufacturers still don't seem to understand luxury interiors. A crap tonne of plasti-chrome and piano gloss black plastic does not equal to a luxurious interior.

I went on a test drive just this past Saturday and I have to say I'm impressed. It felt good driving it. It roomy quite and smooth. I'm going to try to convince my wife to like this over the Range rover.

I love the idea of this vehicle. I do not love GDI turbos though. All have issues with carbon buildup on the back of the valves, and I haven’t seen any reviewer noting that Lincoln or others have installed catch cans on the oil breathers to reduce crusty carbon that absolutely will cause missing in 20-30k miles. Only those engines with GDI + SPFI will keep crusty under wraps. My dream Navigator would be if they listened to SG, matte the chrome, and then listened to me and installed a NA V8 TIVCT capable of Otto and Atkinson cycles depending on throttle input, added a 100+kw motor in the trans with sufficient battery. I absolutely love the push button shifter, although I do think Lincoln should put it to the left of the driver to prevent idiot passengers from shifting into L. Desoto and Chrysler did it in the 50’s and 60’s with cables, springs, and levers- so life is full circle now. I do lament the loss of a mechanical emergency brake. It’s not just a parking brake Ford... remember?

Another great review Goose, I live in the UK so will never see one of these unless I watch the US Ambassador ‘s motorcade!

At that price range, for this kind of vehicle, I don't think anything would sway me from the almighty Toyota Land Cruiser. It's also overbuilt (likely moreso), with extreme emphasis on 4x4 capability and long term reliability/dependability. Has features like a traditional parking brake handle, gearshift lever, and a N/A V8... because shit like that is proven to still be working in 25 years.

Awesome review.

I'm from the other side of the globe, and I LOVE IT !!!!

That title is genius, had to like before the video started

I like that chrome trim. Kinda giving you that Range Rover or rolls feel on the interior with it. I don’t care about the sun bouncing off it.

Drove one of these as a rental in Colorado; went to the top of Pikes Peak with no issue with 4 adults and two children. Everything in this review is on point.

So many people go overboard when reviewing anything and try too hard to be wacky/"hilarious". You're chill and have normal tone. Well done sir. Anyone every tell you that you look a little like Dana White (UFC)?

Personally I really like all the chrome trims. It really adds a nice upscale and elegance to it.

Single Moms...

TY Mr. Goose, Very cool

i haven't had the chance to drive one yet but we have had a couple come in for service at my shop and i think they are a huge step up compared to the last generation. they do have a TSB out for them that if the a/c is getting intermittently warm at times that we have to replace the whole HVAC system in the truck since it uses R1234yf refrigerant and apparently some of the earlier navigators and expeditions have it contaminated. thankfully we haven't seen any yet and we are in Florida.

“Back massager”… This guy is low key hilarious in every review. Love it.

love the jackets you are wearing! We are deciding from this lincoln or the Cadillac escalade..

All these infotainment screens are starting to look like an afterthought. Like someone just slapped an iPad on the dash and called it a day. Not attractive at all.

I drove an expedition at a Ford test drive thing at a car show a while back. I am the furthest from a Ford guy, but it was pretty impressive, lot of power and pretty damn comfortable - auto start stop was horrible however

6:55 You about killed me w/that "Tonya" joke.

I just bought mine today. I have a 2012 model and am keeping it. I have only had 3 issues in teh lifetime of that vehicle. I love this one even though I have only had it for 3 hours. :-) I have done a ton of research. I thought I wanted the Escalade both in 2012 and this time but still ended up with the Navigator. Especially when comparing the 3rd row seating between the Cadillac and the Lincoln!

I took it out for a test drive, and to be honest, it was a great drive like you said but I think you were really harsh on the interior. I thought the interior was beautiful. Thanks for the review!

I'm surprised they don't have a flip down tailgate with a seat. Nice dealership. That warrantee would be the kicker for me.

thanks mr. goose. that warranty is pretty awesome. probably sick of losing sales to 100k warranty carmakers

They get to have their own volume nobs in back and their own piano black too. I have only one plasti-chrome trim around center shifter in Ram and it sure blinds me quite often. All other trims are like aluminum look, i wonder how that would look in Durango or this Navigator

LOL!!! “All the ashes of your dead pets...”

As my first vehicle was a 1976 Lincoln Town Coupe', you have given me a well informed detail of this vehicle. When I first saw this new Navigator, I was at the ready to jump in. Yet, I'll have to wait until they get their act together for the "old school" drivers who can have diamonds cut in the back seat while in motion and "real" effects in the cabin. [Only the old Lincoln driver/owners know what I'm talking about.]

Hey man! Didn't know you were from the Ames area! I've got some great hookups at the dealerships in the area!

If you take the front bumper off and get a 4" lift and 44" tyres can it run over a prius? Also can I get it bullet proofed for when I'm driving through the hood with the hud on?

Just did a test drive. Didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. There are very few options if you want a car that will carry 6+ people, a giant dog, and still fit luggage and bulky baby gear. Navigator was my favorite, then Expedition, then Yukon/Escalade/Suburban. The GM cars don’t have as many features - less legroom in rows 2/3, no parking assistance, no auto hold braking at red lights, tiny sunroof...the little things add up. It doesn’t look as nice as some other cars, but still way more luxurious than the Expedition or Yukon.

That price is savage

This is why I prefer the Escalade. No cheap plastic in the interior. Dash is wrapped in leather, roof is alcantara, all the of the central console is real chrome metal and gloss black touch sensitive buttons.

I love this car.

I am not a fan of Lincoln but I still liked your video just because you are the best reviewer.

That vid screen behind you makes you look like you’re walking super fast. 😂😂

I give you a lot of credit, I wouldn't even want to sit in that thing long enough to do the review.

We love our 2018. Fingerprinst and other things are minor issues. Ours goes to a detail shop once a week, so if you can afford to buy A Nav., then keeping it and paying for it to look new is not an issue. And you can get the black plastic chrome if the nickle chrome bothers your sensitive eyes lol. We've already ordered our 2020 model. Can't wait !

My compliments - Very well done video. A nice vehicle, but way beyond my budget and needs. Actually, I purchased a new 2018 Elantra Value Edition a week ago; I'm delighted with the thing...

By far the best suv out there is truly a family entertainment on wheels

I’m only commenting on the awesomeness of the Between the Buried And Me song that was playing on the audio screen. 🤘🤘

Best moment of the video is when he mentions charging a "back massager" and puts it in air quotes 😂😂

Had it for a month, cried after returning.

You buy it because you CAN. Simply, it's a luxury car.

Yo, I saw that BTBAM Voice of Trespass on the radio, fuck yeah dude!

Thanks for the info. Im now going to buy a chev 2500 top of line

This car is a beauty

Good job

Good ol Ames! I miss it.

“Back massager” killed me

First time watching your review. Well done. Lots of good points. Would have liked to hear you go over the features (e.g. Does it have a 360 camera, front/rear, auto park assist 2.0--Ford Explorer 2020's...etc.). Mentioning "...put the ashes of dead pets" could have been left out... The "chrome plastic" in the interior...WOULD be a deal breaker for ME spending almost $100k on a domestic brand SUV. Don't know if t here isn't already some aftermarket companies putting out kits to cover up the chrome bits or even remove them/replace (w/ actual metal, carbon fibre--real and not faux carbon)...to cover the plastic "piano black"...how about some real wood? Maybe you could look into this and do a follow-up video.... Like your honesty.

You can replace all that gloss black with other trim options like wood or white. That solves the biggest interior problem and makes it look even better.

I like the interior a lot better than the new Expeditions. But I agree with the glossy part.

I wish I could afford the Navigator right now...rather than the 100,000+ miles Honda I have right now(still paying back 6 figure medical school loans). Also, as a physician myself, I have seen people come away from a catastrophic accident unharmed just because they drove a large vehicle like the Navigator. I have friends who work in Emergency Rooms (i.e. not nurses, but ER physicians) who have seen folks who have died from small (& modern vehicles) while they had their seatbelts on, all airbags deployed including side airbags and they were pronounced dead on the scene or on their way to the ER. Sorry to sound morbid, but that's reality and no matter of technology is going to circumvent physics. Bigger and larger cars are the way to go in terms of ultimate safety. Kudos to Ford for building the Navigator. I just wish more people have access to cars like the Navigator or ones like it.

Thanks.

I got that same warranty with my new Accord. Turbo, direct injection, CVT. I think it'll be a good car but I have a little piece of mind if it's not. I don't want an SUV but if I did and was going to spend that much money on it, there's no doubt it would be a Land Cruiser. It may not be as fancy, but I'd happily sacrifice that for indestructibility and more capability. They are much different vehicles but as far as I can tell the same type of people drive them (in the USA, anyway).

I'm sorry but the title of this video should have been called "Deep Conditions with Savagegeese".

Badass navigator.
