2004 Lincoln Navigator Review
Big luxury SUV with smooth ride and agile handling.
2004 Navigator Review Summary & Specifications
The 2004 Lincoln Navigator combines the towing and hauling capabilities you'd expect from a full-size SUV with the smooth and pleasant driving experience you'd want in a luxury sedan. Its interior is modern and stylish and, thanks to its independent rear suspension, it has third-row seating space comparable to that of the much longer Chevy Suburban and Cadillac Escalade ESV. That should make Navigator exactly the right choice for a large number of buyers.
