Thanks, I found a 2015 navigator for sale. It's overpriced but I'm convinced after this video, it's the SUV for me. I love the color and condition. I'm buying My Lincoln Navigator.❤😊😊

No matter what people say the THIRD ROW SEAT has beaten GM and will continue forever

[@AutoAcademics]

So far, we can't argue with that, Travon Turner. Thanks for watching!

How the Yukon xl has plenty of run.

i can't get enough of these reviews thumbs up. awesome

[@LuisMartinez-yn1st]

Just saw one yesterday & I had to come check out a review of it , it stood out a lot when I first saw it !

[@thomasm4076]

I like the styling of an escalade but I like the amount of room the navigator has. especially in the third row and the cargo space

[@AutoAcademics]

+thomas m Yes, thomas m, the 2015 #Lincoln #Navigator has a wonderfully useful 3rd row, as you saw in our video. And that is one attribute that helps to differentiate it from some of the other high profile players in that class of vehicle. We appreciate your comments and thanks for watching!

[@capt.mike73ahoy14]

I bought mine used with 26K miles on it. It's been an excellent rig and is way beyond my old F-150 I traded in. Good review! Thanks!

Thanks for watching, capt. mike73 AHOY!

Hows the ride quality and are the seats really comfortable????

Very informative review! I just purchased a Magnetic Grey Reserve L. Your review pretty much sold me on it. Well done! Thanks

Happy we could help, Thomas Carroll. Enjoy your new truck and thanks for watching!

Great review

[@AutoAcademics]

Thank you, The DeCampers!

[@thehomeplatespecial597]

Hi, Chris, good analysis. The L version is attractive for more cargo space. Can you tell me if the back lift gate window opens separately on any of these Navigators?

[@AutoAcademics]

Unfortunately, we can't remember, The Home Plate Special. That little notch under the rear windshield wiper makes us think that it does, but Chris is usually pretty good at demonstrating stuff like that if it does. Sorry we can't help more, but thanks for watching!

[@joecool9739]

Yes it does

waiting for that 2020/2021 Navigator review

[@AutoAcademics]

So are we! LOL We were supposed to get one a couple of months ago the ran into scheduling conflicts. Hopefully, they'll send us one soon, though. Thanks for watching, D-R J!

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

Instead of OL SKOOL I'd say Lincoln is a more conservative looking vehicle than some other SUVs,how was the ride quality,was it smooth and comfortable and how do the seats feel????

[@AutoAcademics]

Definitely a smooth and comfortable ride, MERCEDESBENZS600 BASH. Unfortunately, we can't remember exactly how the seats felt, but if we didn't mention them, they were fine. Thanks for watching!

[@jasonl753]

Does it have heated steering wheel? I know he new escalade isn't reliable,

[@AutoAcademics]

+Jason Lee While we know some Lincoln vehicles have heated steering wheels that can be accessed via the MyLincoln Touch dashboard, we honestly can't remember if our Navigator tester had that feature. If we obtain any other info, we'll post back on here. Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching, too!

Love this suv. Only thing I hate is the thx sound system. The fully loaded expedition has a better system 🙄

[@maniac32145]

Does it have RPM gauge?

[@AutoAcademics]

It does, maniac32145. It's one of the digital screens on the instrument cluster. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

[@mikebergman4802]

Put an aftermarket tach-ometer on it. A speed shop can put on one. I put one on mine.

[@Toyota4Life]

Not a bad SUV but other trucks has surpassed it in terms on being modern inside and out.

[@AutoAcademics]

+Toyota4Life As we alluded to in this video, the 2015 Navigator is pretty old school, but there are some other full-size luxury SUVs that we've tested over the past year or so that have suffered from some of the same issues, so there seems to be a trend with this category of vehicle. The primary difference being that the 2015 Navigator price comes in lower than those other makes and comes across as fair, in our opinion, for what you are getting. This is relatively speaking, of course, as none of the full-size luxury SUVs are inexpensive. We are also well aware that the top players in the field have evolved, but we guess that's why they are the top players. We appreciate your comments and thanks for watching, too!

[@yagnation649]

Look at the 2020 Navigator compared to this model, it came so far.

[@AutoAcademics]

Sure did, YagNation. Hopefully, Lincoln will send us one for review soon. Thanks for watching!

[@MrTblackmon]

It is a very nice SUV especially compared to the previous models. I know, I know some people will say, oh -- it is too dated or is riding on a dated platform or it is outmatched by its rivals; nevertheless, the vehicle hasn't been all-new since 2007 but Lincoln did acknowledge it was time for a redesign and I think the luxury brand rectified the vehicle with a solution: more tech, better design approach and a handsome look packed with a lot of performance.

[@grandizer4531]

I loved my 07 Navigator... until the engine started sounding like a helicopter with just 90k miles. Lincoln wont get me twice! Escalade all the way!!!

[@AutoAcademics]

Sorry to hear that, Grandizer 45. We appreciate your comments, though. Thanks for watching!

[@FarhanAli-gt9no]

The interior sucks compared to Cadillac Escalade

[@jgueroz71]

I still think my GMC Yukon SLE is much better compared to the "luxurious" Lincoln Navigator

+George Wallace Ha! A BIG Ford Explorer with A LOT of makeup. Thanks for watching, George Wallace!

[@psychedelicnihilism5427]

It's just an overpriced expedition

[@coureurdebois]

we dont rent out many of these and i can see why every time i drive one.... cheap plastic surrounding the buttons and center dash, rebaged ford, lack of clean styling looks frumpy, sub par noise isolation, suspension that is disappointing for being IRS all around, average build quality, hmmmm list goes on and on. its basically only able to compete against the GMC yukon (not the denali) ... in terms of quality, design, and build quality. and i did not eve mention the fact that under load for towing the TTV6 simply fails, the 5.0 and 6.2 both get better fuel economy under load as well as not having to work as hard under load....
