This year, after GM, introduced the mastodons: Escalade, Suburban, etc. Ford presented in Detroit its giant F150; behold the Lincoln Navigator monstrous, a model dating from 2007 receives the deserved substitute.

The most it has to be admired is the front of the new Navigator, not because it would be too beautiful, but because it manages to conceal the massive machine, something that the old version could not really to do.

From the side, things are a little bit different.  The first part of the machine, taking it from front to back, there is absolutely normal, with some aesthetic details, two doors and some windows relatively proportionate.

Beyond the back door, the car looks as if the designers have not worried too much and overlooked even the back's car. However, designers are not absolutely guilty, because to be honest, it's very hard to fill as much space as a Navigator offers. That feels very good in the interior, where the huge extent of the dashboard makes the screen (eight-inch) seem paltry while controlling cooling buttons are so big that if you've put on a normal car, it reminds me of mobile phones for people with special needs. Otherwise, the quality seems to be at a high level, at least that the officials tell us and the pictures prove. Lincoln Navigator now comes yet with a bold change: the biggest engine that will provide (at least for now, at launch) is a 3.4-liter V6 EcoBoost that will generate at least 370 hp and 580 Nm. Lincoln officials ensure the audience that power will be felt at the moment when the accelerator is pushed.

According to information provided by Lincoln, the car's power is enough to tow loads of over four tons (compared to 3.7 tones Escalade, V8). Also something very important: In the state, the new Navigator will go into production this summer following the first deliveries to take place a few months later.
