2025 Navigator

@MPerk video was posted before deliveries & the giveaway, all the preproduction models have Michigan plates on them.

No word on production for me ... told dealer I was assuming late May at best ... mid June. He said maybe a touch earlier but who knows?

The video of that Special Edition makes me wonder if I should've ordered the Enlighten theme ... looks good. But I went with Invitation again like my last Black Label.

I was thinking the same thing about that enlighten interior. The more I see of it the better it looks, but you can't go wrong with the black interior on the white exterior. Both look sharp! Lincoln did a nice job on all the options....

I keep wondering if I made a mistake not going for the hot chocolate in my Reserve, but when I see real life photos of the black interior I really like it. The stock photos really don't do the black interior justice.

Were still waiting for a review on your beauty @Grizz lol. I see youtube journalists are starting to go to dealers and drive them instead of waiting for a drive event. Weird that they aren't doing this for the expy though. From what i can tell, the 24s seem to ride a tad sharper, ut both ride somewhat firm. Hard to tell if it's an improvement from the 24s, but they mainly only needed to fix the body structure and rough road ride.

 
I got the "vehicle built" email today, but the tracker is down, so I can't get the window sticker.

Just checked the tracker and it says mine has been delivered! No word from the dealership yet though.

Dang, I've been on the Lincoln Tracker website trying to login since last night and it shows my Vin and/or Order number isn't valid... even though I am typing them in with the numbers from my email.

The website has worked pretty much daily until yesterday... not a funny $100k+ April Fool's Day joke if you ask me!

This happened to me last week, and then finally the next day it was back to working again. I hope it's back up and running for you soon! But it is incredibly frusting, you'd think with how $$$$ these vehicles are their' tracking system would be a bit better.

Agreed @Daysie ... and my cousin that I ordered it through, has about the same issue from his end of all things... LOL
With what these things cost, you would think we could connect it to the Lincoln Way App now... but have to have the car physically by the phone to do it.

I’m getting the same error. Fingers crossed that my car’s status is updated to Built when it is back working.
 
I did change my order from Invitation to the Enlighten this morning. The bad news was I was still able to because I’ve not been scheduled for production yet. :(

Then my dealer received 4 Navigators on a truck and I ran down to see the Enlighten in person and was happy I chose to change it. It’s more tan than light and the wood trim looked nice. The best color I can compare it to is macchiato in Mercedes Benz.

Gonna be a long wait … my dealer has one coming in just like I want but they won’t do Xplan on it. If no one buys it, my impatience might get the best of me.

Forgive me … the enlighten interior is more Catalana beige than Macchiato/Cappucino. More of a rich tan than a light tan.
 
BAKER'S DOZEN
1. blue cruise works great but disengage before exiting from the freeway, warning also in OM
2 lane keeping is great, sensitive if both hands not on wheel. too hard to turn off, then engage regular cruise control.
3. have to turn APPLE CAR PAY off on iPhone, PITA sometimes.
4. 0-60 in 5 sec is correct, in excite mode. really a growler.
5. tire pressure displays what is in the tire AND what tire pressure is suppose to be.
6. ride is really good imo.
7. easy to turn off start/stop switch, but only for 1 switch cycle. ok for me.
8. HVAC system works great in all modes.
9. rejuvenate works great, but doubt if i will use it much.
10. massage is a bit harsh, even on low setting.
11. NO TACHOMETER. owners manual says it is next to the fuel gage on forward display. dealer has no idea if it even exists. all u-tube video's don't show it when they are driving also. Dealer still checking on that. maybe a software update will make it appear.
12 I love all the camera's, very helpful and useful, especially helpful when using turn signals, and parking.
13. very glad I got the L model, that extra foot does make a difference.
14. ELECTRIC PARKING brake is nice, i use it a lot.

will evaluate more in time. Thanks. Hope this helps.

Can I get your opinion on the backup camera size? Some internet comments on it being small, but that's only from them seeing in on a videos, but in a live view it could be great... What do you think about the placement of the camera view when using it? It looks like a great place being high and not down low.... I dont think I need or want something really humongous, like in other vehicles. Thanks may man.... Enjoy!!!
 
That atmospheric theme in @7.62Kolectr's post looks very nice. Not sold on those wheels yet, but sometimes you have to see things in person.

Great review ... thank you @Grizzz1 !
I'm curious about Ford's Blue Cruise, as I have been driving my wife's Caddy and some work vehicles with GM's latest SuperCruise... and I really enjoy it and more importantly, enjoy the fact that it's available in my area of Wisconsin. Ford's BC just simply doesn't offer much up here, which greatly disappoints me as a "Ford Guy" and keeps my company buying GM stuff. :(

The tach thing is very boggling to my mind... especially since I'm a "hyper-miler" and use it a lot on my current Explorer, to get the best fuel economy I can. Now, I know getting a Navi pretty much makes me "not care" about MPG.. and the fact Ford still does not and likely won't do the "PowerBoost" hybrid for at least a few more years.. but I'm like a lot of people.. I expect a tach.. esp. on a $100k+ vehicle! Guessing you're right with the fact a software update will make that happen.

@Grizzz1 ... how easy/hard is it to customize the screen layout for the 48" pano? GM's is very easy, but I also haven't experienced their new 55" OLED pano screen yet either.

Thanks again for the early review... can't wait to hear/see more... as mine is stuck awaiting shipment another 3 to 4 weeks...
