The 1998 Lincoln Navigator Was the First Big Luxury SUV 

If Doug was a rapper, his name would be 2 shirtz

Doug is the Type of guys who review an old Lincoln on his main channel and a Porsche 911 Gt2 on his second channel

I love seeing older vehicles that are well-maintained and in original/near-original condition!

Luxury in 1998: Let’s put the climate control on the wheel so you never have to move to get the perfect temperature. Luxury in 2019: Lets hide the climate control behind 47 screens!

“the comfort is good, not amazing but excellent” nice

Doug reviews a car that goes for like 2k today and i still get excited 😂😂

Am I the only one that noticed the center console Cup holders are designed to hold Mugs with handles... THAT IS LUXURY!!

Normal people: watches Dougs Bugatti Chiron video Me: _Watches 1998 Lincoln navigation Doug video_

"The running board is lit" -Doug DeMuro, 2019

Im glad theres no infotainment system for Doug to get lost in.

The Lincoln NAVIGATOR has no navigation system?!

“Using this vehicle as an ambulance: DO NOT use this vehicle as an ambulance.” I died 😂

Doug: Luxurious fancy lettering on the mirror Everyone else: Written in cursive

When you buy a navigator but then navigation is an option 😂😂

this car is in exceptional condition, props to the owner for taking such good care of it

"It was the star of ever rap video. Everyone wanted one." Right up until the Escalade came out.

1:17 Doug standing in the bushes like he’s reviewing a strangers Navigator. “Hey you, get out of my yard!”

Now review a 1999 Cadillac Escalade to compare them.

You know for a 90s suv that looked really nice.

Actually the engine is very unique. It wasn’t the same 5.4 you got in the Expedition or F-150 at the time. The Intech was rated at 300 horsepower throughout this model’s run. It was a DOHC 4-valve that also served as the basis for the 5.4 in the Cobra R Mustang, the GT500 and Ford GT. Too bad Doug didn’t do a little bit of research before hand.

Doug is the kind of guy to give his wife a signed photo for her birthday

This was apart of the starter rapper/Hip Hop starter package. Big rims, a speaker system and the TV's in the headrest.

Doug:**Doug hits 3 million subscribers** Also Doug:“This is a 1998 Lincoln Navigator”

Almost every big rapper had one of these and the gmc denalis in the late 90s

*Buys a 1998 Navigator in 1998 for Ambulance purposes* Ah this is great, this will work! *Gets to page 3* ...

I can’t tell you how long I’ve waited to see this video after you posted about it on Instagram

5:21 Doug says “Imposter”! Don’t believe me? Watch it again!! 5:21 caught in 4k📸SO SUSSY 😱

Doug score: Practicality 8 + Practicality 7 = Practicality 15 Well that's a record

I feel like I’m studying for a car history class.

Doug the type of guy to talk about an emblem in the headlight, but ignore the keypad in the door handle

Me: watching Lincoln Navigator review Ad: “ Let’s show a Cadillac ad “

"Got a cool car?" Hey Doug, I got a first gen Lincoln Navigator.

EQ presets for the audio system will forever mystify our man Doug

Hard to believe this was top of the line when I was a kid.

We owned a 1997 and a 2002 Ford Expedition XLT for many years. The best feature...turning the ceiling vents so the air would hit you from behind. It was great in the summer! 😁🤩🤣

doug is the type of guy to pick a prostitute in GTA and drop her in a better neighborhood

Thank you Doug for finding a nice clean example, all the ones I see in the wild (if any) all look like beaters.

I remember these were huge 20+ years ago. I remember getting a sound system installed in my car at "Car Sound" off Roswell Rd in Atlanta late 90s and sitting next to my car was a black navigator owned by the Rap R&B singer Keith Sweat. It was top dog only under euro sedans. Expensive or nice 90s cars were mostly good cars and very well made for their time. I can tell Doug liked the ride quality but couldn't show it too much because to most folks its now considered a POS. I'd prefer the way this Navigator drives and works over the new one. Simple and connected. In 20 years the new Navigator will be driving with many issues from infotainment wear to turbos that no longer push air.

The mayor of Detroit went to jail because he embezzled money to buy his wife one

Even the aftermarket wheels are period correct.

15:15 Doug is the type of guy to use a Navigator as an ambulance

I daily drive a 2006 F350 Diesel. The steering wheel, adjustable pedals, and many other things are identical to this. I actually love having the volume, and climate buttons right there! It's a fantastically convenient place for them and I wish more cars did this. Especially the climate controls.

Key point missed - the Navigator got the DOHC 4v 5.4l, everything else of the era with a Ford 5.4l(which the "InTec" is) got a SOHC 2v. Of course, a DOHC V8 was quite exotic back then, which went hand-in-hand with the "luxury" positioning of the Navigator. Frankly, the DOHC Modular V8s are just better too; flow much more air, made more power with a broader power band, just much more drivable engines. The only other DOHC V8 Fords back then were older '90s Lincoln RWD coupes, Mustang Cobras with the 4.6l, and the Mercury Marauder also received one of those NA DOHC Cobra 4.6ls, and the only-300-made 2000 Cobra R got the DOHC 5.4l(WAY different cylinder heads than any previous DOHC Ford, eventually evolved into what went on the GT & GT500). Otherwise, Ford trucks with the 5.4l only received SOHC 2v & 3v(in '05ish+) heads, even the supercharged Lightning(2v heads & garbo rods are its Achilles heal, compared to all other supercharged V8 Ford). Of course, the Coyote 5.0l(& derivatives) is only a DOHC now since we're at the 400HP minimum for medium displacement V8s at this point, and, frankly, I believe that every single other Ford engine today is a DOHC 4v too for that matter(except for the 6.2l SOHC V8, and the 6.7l diesel is a pushrod 4v), now that we're in an era of major focus on maximizing HP/l for the sake of downsizing, and cylinder head flow is the most critical aspect of maximizing power output. Every Ford engine except the new monster 'Godzilla' 7.3l pushrod V8 of course...

I have crossed out "USE LINCOLN NAVIGATOR AS AN AMBULANCE" from my to-do list

Doug the type of guy to use a Lincoln Navigator as an ambulance.

This SUV is GOATED. I still want one from as a little kid.

Doug the type of guy to have people make “doug the type of guy” memes in his comment section

I always see these with collapsed suspension and sounding like they’re running on three cylinders. Thank you Doug for finding a clean one!

Doug the type of guy to sit on the TV and watch the couch

Imagine what a 2039 luxury car will look like

My buddy Nicholas used to have a 2000 Lincoln Navigator which was his first car and when he got it, the paint on it (which was a beige color) was completely messed up so he decided to wrap it in a black color and after that, he added some big rims on it and even added subs in the back and also an aftermarket radio and whenever he would take it to school, he would blast music in it until class started but after he owned it for a couple years, he sold it to his friend and got a first generation Toyota Tundra and after he sold the Tundra, he got a Dodge Dart

The Navigator would make a great Ambulan- oh wait nevermind.

This one is pretty clean, most old navigators look like they reek of menthols.

I just got a Limited Ford Explorer 2007, and it is such an relatable car! So funny. I love controlling temp and fan from the steering wheel. And the glass in the back is AMAZING.

Speaking of badged engineered luxury vehicles, it will be so funny if Doug did a video on the Cadillac Cimarron! I would love to to see Doug's reaction driving that.

Doug, I love you, but I'm not entirely convinced you're not two tweens in a trench coat. I don't care how old you say you are, I'm pretty sure you just popped into existence one day in 2014. Continuous bewilderment over EQ settings, not knowing what the fast-forward/rewind switch is for on a cassette player, etc., etc.... there's no way this dude spent any part of his life in the '90s or even early '00s, there's just no way.

I remember those 3rd row seats, as heavy as they were, would be stolen a lot because they were super expensive.

Had a '98 Eddie Bauer Expedition about 10 years ago. Had the 5.4 with a cold air intake, headers and a tune. Also had the air suspension that raised it when you put it in 4 low. I kind of miss it.

Congratz on 3 mil subscribers Doug, hope you celebrate!

Doug! Would love to see a Ford Excursion!!! Please see if you can get your hands on one (; Diesel preferred.

How about the Lincoln Blackwood, now? As the fallen Luxury truck. Such an irony nowadays.

I remember just how big of a deal these were back in the late 90s and It's already been 20 years since

4:28 "there LIT" -Doug DeMuro, August 1st, 2019

Doug, is the type of guy to review a bicycle and give it an acceleration score of 1...😂

I own and have dailyed this truck (1998) for the past 8 years. love the truck to death. Lincoln/Ford did ALOT before many other auto makers...Glad you made this video.

This is the hood rich starter kit

You need to find a Lincoln Black Wood. The first Luxury full size truck. One year model only I think as well

22:31 "Comfort is good, not amazing but excellent" What? How does this make any sense? Excellent is less than amazing apparently???

10:25 someone should explain to Doug that pre-sets like this just adjust the bass, mid, treble and reverb of the sounds playing. Then they’d probably have to explain to him what bass, mid, treble and reverb are.

Loving this kind of videos - Old luxury vintage SUVs! It reminds me of my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder. Yow Mr. Doug keep on creating something like this old lux. - from Philippines 🇵🇭

12:10 There's actually a hidden ashtray right below the "Soft Cup Only" section! Pretty nifty!

Doug the type of guy to wait for the stop sign to turn green.

The first gen Lincoln Navigator. The official car of the hood

When you watch the video on the 2018 Navigator, it’s truly amazing to see how far the navigator has come in 20 years. Props to you for stepping your game up Ford! I sat in a brand new 2020 Explorer today, and I’ll be honest. I’m not a ford guy, but I was blown away by how nice it has gotten. Ford is stepping their game up fr

Doug, I saw an International Harverster Scout II yesterday. I know you really like boxy four wheel drives, and this one is a beauty. I think your viewers would enjoy it if you could find one in your area to review. The one I saw was white and had the top off, which gave it a striking, clean profile.

I remember when this truck came out. It really was the most amazing suv anyone has every seen. If you owned one you were definitely part of the elite class LoL. If you were lucky enough, just being a passenger was your highlight of the year.

Just here for the "Doug the type of guy" jokes😂😂😂

Your silly Doug I have a 1997 Chevy suburban that's loaded. Heated seats. All red interior. Really nice stereo system. 380000 miles, and runs like a top. I'll let u do a review on it

Wonderful car! Thx Doug for another cool review!

Also every single head unit in the late 90s/early 2000s had those EQ settings Doug. Come on man

It's not just any 5.4 L V8 the Lincoln navigator came with the 32v dual over head cam v8

Wow, this reminds me of my childhood. My mom drove a fully loaded expedition from the same year, I believe, and it was extremely similar to this.

11:00 All Dolby Prologic home receivers at that time had Hall as an option, it was actually pretty common there...on car stereos maybe not but then this is luxury

This brought back my childhood. My mom had the exact same Navigator (color-wise, but a 2000 year model) just with less fake wood, which I highly doubt was a dealer accessory. She loved it so much she traded it in 2005 for a fully loaded black on gray 2006 Navigator Ultimate. We were so blown away by the cooled seats, power liftgate and running boards, and both cars brought many good memories. She was excited for the next generation until the 2007 dropped and came with that hideous face, so she moved on to the 2007 Escalade, and later a 2010. They never did give us that same feeling the Navigators did. My favorite quirk of the 2000 Navi was the "stadium" setting on the radio. So much reverberation 😅

*dougs dogs died* Wife: are you ok? Doug: for more of my thoughts visit aut-

This was based on the Expedition which shared a ton of parts with the f150... A little better than badge engineering this started the upward trend and here we are today

We grew up with a 97 Expedition and it was just as luxurious as this thing, tbh. Really reliable car.

This wood-plated Expedition was baller af back in 99'

Doug the type of guy to start a fight with the clown of his son’s birthday party.

3 million subscribers that’s so dope congrats doug

The running board is LIT🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You know its 1998 when you see curvy chrome rims.

Thanks for doing this one Doug. Lincoln deserves to get a little love for being so forward-thinking. Now to find a Lincoln Blackwood

The stereo 'sound experience' that you where talking about allows you to select a type of reverb and EQ that would be specific to that kind of room or space ie Jazz Club, Hall etc..

My grandma bought one in 2001 I was in elementary safe to say all the kids knew I had the coolest grandma 👵 loved getting dropped off in that thing later drove the truck in high school good times forsure hell of a learning experience.. great review Doug

my 99 eddie bauer edition explorer had that steering wheel climate controls i loved it definitely wish that it was on more cars

You should find & review a late 80's/early 90's Lincoln LSC Mark 7!

🤣✌️👍 Knowing that you are on your wonderful world trip, you're doing well on the video's. I just watched the crazy lexus sports car video from 2017,still the same enthusiasm. Thanks Doug and keep it up, happy holidays dude and the lady.

My grandfathers 98 navigator olny had four seats, and the bench
