Can't kill it. Great truck

Bought the car from a salvage yard with 325,000 miles. .Did some cosmetic and electrical work and it has been reborn to a nice suv.Its definitely a keeper. I think I can get another 100000 out of it.

Owned 2 of same year and both were Exceptional

Owned 2 of the same model year and went almost 200,000 miles on both when I sold them....and they were both still in excellent condition. Most reliable cars we have owned, other than oil changes, tires and brakes, we never had to take them in....even between 150000-200000 miles. I never loved the look but the comfort and reliable had me hooked!

Been a great experience

I’m currently at 149k miles only repair I’ve had to do was replacing the air suspension with a standard shock and strut. Power door lock button on drivers door stopped working. All and all not bad for a 14 year old truck. Still tows trailers like a champ!

Great vehicle but the air ride wack...

Love the vehicle but lacks one serious mechanical issue. The air ride system is total garbage.. lol... Air springs dry rotted very fast and looked online for recalls and there aren't any..??? This system has failed on every Lincoln ever had it. How can there be no recalls ????

Fix Or Repair Daily

I knew better but my wife wanted one. the air ride went out on me. it was all down hill from there. The fuel economy was the last straw. DO NOT BUY.

I LIKE OWNING A lINCOLN

Bot it at 145k. Immediately replaced brakes and rotors and had air suspension tuned up. Within a few months, seeing that air suspension was going to cost me a small fortune in repairs switched to spring suspension for total of $600 and couldn't be happier with that. Also did brake lines for $1000. Don't know why Ford did not install rustproof lines like I had in my 02 Crown Vic. Got some minor paint issues, the AWD and 4WD work ok but 4WD LOW doesn't seem to go in right now, but I've not needed it, so not a problem yet. I now have a $5500 car that I'm pretty happy with.

What a great SUV.

What a great SUV. We bought our Navigator new in 2004. No problems. Can't kill it. Finally traded it after 126,000 miles just to get something different. Should have kept it! Ended up with a 2008 Escalade. It was nice but has less usable space and a rougher ride than the Navigator.
