2025 Navigator

I feel like they're pushing it a bit to call this "all new" but I do like the changes. My only worry is the ride with the 24" wheels.

It rides very well on most roads. I was surprised how good the expy on 24s drove, especially on the highway. On bad roads i can see it getting somewhat uncomfy. We drove an expy on bad backroads yesterday with the 22in wheels and ccd and though it wasn't nearly as bad as the last gen, the body did drum a bit but still very good.

The overwhelming majority of reviews I have seen that compliment the ride quality with the 24s obviously do not drive on the roads I do. :LOL:
 
Finally!!!! The day that I have been waiting for is right around the corner. After six months, I got the call from the dealer telling me I can pick up my new Navigator tomorrow! Holly Shit. I can’t wait to get in it and just drive it like crazy. I look forward to figuring out all the new systems this vehicle has to offer, and that great ride Lincoln is known for! The last lincoln I owned was a 1997 Golden Bear Town car....I’m already planning a trip to Las Vegas from the Chicago area. I just love to drive and this vehicle is going to spoil me!!!!

I know you will love it MPerk !!!!
 
Got it home last night.. This vehicle is so nice! The attention to detail is out of this world. Lincolns efforts to eliminating buttons and knobs have really simplified the overall look of the interior but yet keeps all the functionality by moving things to center the touch screen. You will either like it or if you’re a button and knobs person you might hate it. I like it, it cleans up the entire cabin. The touchpads on the steering wheel used to adjust the pedals and positioning of the steering wheel are actually not bad at all, they are very easy to use, and with the memory drivers positions how often will you use them. I just can’t get over how well this vehicle handles for being such a large SUV, and I went with the long wheelbase. I really appreciate the blind spot cameras when using the turn signals! We’ve had them on fire trucks for many years, they just offer that little bit of added security. The ride is just out of this world! Nice job on this one Lincoln. I love everything about it.

Thanks for posting pics. I really like the looks of the Special Edition package.
 
I went over 1,000 miles this week on mine. Love it more each day. Good to see ya''ll getting the "L" models. There is more than just space you get with the "L" models, you also get the larger fuel tank.
Getting 17.4 mpg average on trip meter. Mostly city but a few 30 mile trips. was hoping for a little better, but still not bad for a big vehicle.

On the other side of the fence here. I have had a 19 BL and currently have a 23 BL Special edition and am stoked for the refresh and cannot wait for my new one (Build date set for 5/19). To me the current design was getting a bit long in the tooth. But to each their own! As long as you're happy with whatever you have then more power to you.
yes i`m very happy with my new navigator,i`m an old guy and prefer the old styling!

As one who has been on the other side of your situation, the one ordering and selling, I sometimes forget how special it is for people. Your comment as well as similar remarks recently from another buyer made me remember to keep it in mind.

Congrats and enjoy it
 
Hey, I'm hoping someone can answer my question.

I've ordered a 2025 Lincoln Navigator Reserve L, I did not get the Jet Appearance Package, so I don't have the full LED Light Bar across my grille.

I'm curious to know if the Lincoln Emblem in my front grille on my Navigator will be illuminated or not. I've seen some reviews say that it is, and somethings online say it's a part of the Lincoln Embrace. I've also read things that say it's not illuminated, that it's only available with the LED light bar across the grille.

My online tracking status is this so far:

Order Confirmed: 03/01/2025
Scheduled Week Of: 05/05/2025

Currently listed as In Production, the last update was on 05/01/2025, hopping it will move to Built any day now.
 
I picked mine up last Saturday and got home last night after visiting friends and completing a 850 mile trip. Rides great, handles well and has good pick-up. Last leg of the trip went over a couple of 7,000 foot passes and we got 22.1 mpg average. It was mostly 65 mph roads, I went 70, and some 85+ speeds to pass some slow cars. Very happy. The touchscreen took some getting used to, and a couple of times when I used the controls on the wheel and didn't look at them, I pressed the wrong control, but I am getting used to it and like it. I have an Android phone and it set up really easy. I prefer to use Sirius over my phones music, and at first, every time I started the vehicle it went to my phone. But after a couple of days it did stay on Sirius, so maybe it learned I wanted that. I have mixed feelings on the tailgate. I know the lower part is to keep things from rolling out, but when it is down, it is a long reach to anything in the compartment. At this point, I would rather have one big tailgate opening up, but I will get used to it. Having it Ceramic coated on Monday and windows and windshield ceramic tinted the next Monday.
 
Got mine on Tuesday, after six months. Delivery went well. Went on a little 1500 mile drive, auto drive much better, it helped that i picked up a neck brace and blinders on amazon, a lesson learned from my 2022 navigator black label, keeps the lane keeping from alarming every five minutes. Spent a couple hours setting up the back video, setting up an account from a company i never heard of, almost paying for a subscription until i looked at some old setup videos to find that there is three years complementery access to this company i still haven't heard of. Then entered six sets of logins per monitor to access our video apps (nobody has learned from apple). After having rear seat video, several generations, how does it become more and more difficult, puzzling, but i blame myself for tolerating it. After update to the monitors i found the ATT 4G not 5G had expended its unlimited 3 GiG of data requiring a $200 data purchase if we want to use the rear seat video. Lincoln, this is how you sour an experience. Still enjoy the car, but holy crap, the devil really is in the details, of course these aren't even details.

No dont do facebook, or really anything other than the lincoln forum. Yes i like the wheels also, didn't get the 24s as there arnt many or other than one tire option. You can imagine needing a tire somewhere and having to wait a few days in a hotel for a tire to come in.
