@@donertv5303 Sorry guy. After further reading the Oldsmobile navigation system was offered in 1992 for rental cars in Florida through Avis. Also the 1981 Honda Gyro Nav system was technically the first anyway. There was one in the early 1900s too but I am not sure it is typical.
Right? He says he does new and expensive cars because that's what the most people watch, but I subbed to this channel because of the cool old/normal every day cars
Actually the engine is very unique. It wasn’t the same 5.4 you got in the Expedition or F-150 at the time. The Intech was rated at 300 horsepower throughout this model’s run. It was a DOHC 4-valve that also served as the basis for the 5.4 in the Cobra R Mustang, the GT500 and Ford GT. Too bad Doug didn’t do a little bit of research before hand.
He spoke about in modern f250 i think BUT if he has repeated himself on luxuru cars many times... he realky shoukd have gone to town about how this is not common even in modern cars yet this tging is 20 years old. He may have edited out but sma quick voice over edit should have been done.

Key point missed - the Navigator got the DOHC 4v 5.4l, everything else of the era with a Ford 5.4l(which the "InTec" is) got a SOHC 2v. Of course, a DOHC V8 was quite exotic back then, which went hand-in-hand with the "luxury" positioning of the Navigator. Frankly, the DOHC Modular V8s are just better too; flow much more air, made more power with a broader power band, just much more drivable engines. The only other DOHC V8 Fords back then were older '90s Lincoln RWD coupes, Mustang Cobras with the 4.6l, and the Mercury Marauder also received one of those NA DOHC Cobra 4.6ls, and the only-300-made 2000 Cobra R got the DOHC 5.4l(WAY different cylinder heads than any previous DOHC Ford, eventually evolved into what went on the GT & GT500). Otherwise, Ford trucks with the 5.4l only received SOHC 2v & 3v(in '05ish+) heads, even the supercharged Lightning(2v heads & garbo rods are its Achilles heal, compared to all other supercharged V8 Ford). Of course, the Coyote 5.0l(& derivatives) is only a DOHC now since we're at the 400HP minimum for medium displacement V8s at this point, and, frankly, I believe that every single other Ford engine today is a DOHC 4v too for that matter(except for the 6.2l SOHC V8, and the 6.7l diesel is a pushrod 4v), now that we're in an era of major focus on maximizing HP/l for the sake of downsizing, and cylinder head flow is the most critical aspect of maximizing power output. Every Ford engine except the new monster 'Godzilla' 7.3l pushrod V8 of course...
I own and have dailyed this truck (1998) for the past 8 years. love the truck to death. Lincoln/Ford did ALOT before many other auto makers...Glad you made this video.
doesn't driving a beast like that eat up a bunch of money in gas dailying it? I know how much gas my 04 Silverado with the small 4.8l v8 drinks so i know a heavy luxury suv with a 5.4 has got to absolutely drink it

10:25 someone should explain to Doug that pre-sets like this just adjust the bass, mid, treble and reverb of the sounds playing. Then they’d probably have to explain to him what bass, mid, treble and reverb are.
@@JoeJohnson-xd8id I didn't know the 3-valve was that old, I'm pretty sure the 4-valve, which this and most first-gen Navigators of the era, predates the 3-valve by a few years.
I daily drive a 2006 F350 Diesel. The steering wheel, adjustable pedals, and many other things are identical to this. I actually love having the volume, and climate buttons right there! It's a fantastically convenient place for them and I wish more cars did this. Especially the climate controls.
This brought back my childhood. My mom had the exact same Navigator (color-wise, but a 2000 year model) just with less fake wood, which I highly doubt was a dealer accessory. She loved it so much she traded it in 2005 for a fully loaded black on gray 2006 Navigator Ultimate. We were so blown away by the cooled seats, power liftgate and running boards, and both cars brought many good memories. She was excited for the next generation until the 2007 dropped and came with that hideous face, so she moved on to the 2007 Escalade, and later a 2010. They never did give us that same feeling the Navigators did. My favorite quirk of the 2000 Navi was the "stadium" setting on the radio. So much reverberation 😅
I remember these were huge 20+ years ago. I remember getting a sound system installed in my car at "Car Sound" off Roswell Rd in Atlanta late 90s and sitting next to my car was a black navigator owned by the Rap R&B singer Keith Sweat. It was top dog only under euro sedans. Expensive or nice 90s cars were mostly good cars and very well made for their time. I can tell Doug liked the ride quality but couldn't show it too much because to most folks its now considered a POS. I'd prefer the way this Navigator drives and works over the new one. Simple and connected. In 20 years the new Navigator will be driving with many issues from infotainment wear to turbos that no longer push air.
I remember when this truck came out. It really was the most amazing suv anyone has every seen. If you owned one you were definitely part of the elite class LoL. If you were lucky enough, just being a passenger was your highlight of the year.
We owned a 1997 and a 2002 Ford Expedition XLT for many years. The best feature...turning the ceiling vents so the air would hit you from behind. It was great in the summer! 😁🤩🤣
well it first came out in 1998, so the title is correct - the 1998 Navigator was the first big luxury SUV, but the description is correct, too, because he is reviewing a 1999 model. the title isn't referring to this one specifically
@@anthonygoodrich1256 Yeah it's funny the way this all started. Lincoln really did beat Cadillac to market. But then by the second gen, the Escalade was off and running and there was pretty much no looking back. The other factor is, GM was ahead of Ford on the non-luxury fullsize SUV. They had the 4 door Tahoe in 1996 which was actually very popular.
Doug, big time congrats on the 3 million subscribers. Noticed you just surpassed it after this video was released. Been watching since you had just a couple hundred thousand and really enjoy what you do. Wish you the best of continued success! Cheers!
Had a '98 Eddie Bauer Expedition about 10 years ago. Had the 5.4 with a cold air intake, headers and a tune. Also had the air suspension that raised it when you put it in 4 low. I kind of miss it.
I just got a Limited Ford Explorer 2007, and it is such an relatable car! So funny. I love controlling temp and fan from the steering wheel. And the glass in the back is AMAZING.
My dad worked at Lincoln and I loved this when he brought one home the first day they came in. The 3rd tow was just bolted to the back section. As a kid I didn't have enough headroom. Alot of people removed them because they were useless.
Imagine how I feel when I see that Doug rates every vehicle under 300HP at a 1 out of 10 for acceleration. I've been daily driving a car with 103HP for years, and I always arrive at my destination faster than the satnav thinks I will before the journey.
@@Fritz___ a lot of European cars, even brand new ones. I learned to drive stick on a 2002 Skoda Fabia, 68hp when new. You could still get up to 100MPH with four people in the car, so yes it was slow, but adequate.
I’m guessing the dougscore has become his rev up your engines catch phrase . Nobody I know enjoys his scoring and it’s not the same kind of cute saying. Obviously plenty of viewers like it but the rev up your engine thing is over in a second and gone. The moronic Doug score goes on and on.
Not even close. The Ford GT engine shares 3 things with this thing; displacement, 8 cylinders in a V arrangement, and 32 valves. That's where the similarities end. The GT engine was a totally different animal.
My buddy Nicholas used to have a 2000 Lincoln Navigator which was his first car and when he got it, the paint on it (which was a beige color) was completely messed up so he decided to wrap it in a black color and after that, he added some big rims on it and even added subs in the back and also an aftermarket radio and whenever he would take it to school, he would blast music in it until class started but after he owned it for a couple years, he sold it to his friend and got a first generation Toyota Tundra and after he sold the Tundra, he got a Dodge Dart
Doug is the type of guy that reviews your SUV in your own front garden but doesn't give a f**k about the flowers he stands on as he speaks about similar type of SUV models of the same era. Press 'F' to pay respect to those flowers.
Doug, the "In-Tech" monicker simply differentiated the 32V DOHC versions of the Triton engines vs the plebian 2-valvers. The engine in that truck is actually highly desirable and can easily knock on the door of 1K horsepower with forced induction. I'd be curious how your driving impressions would change if that were done to it 😆
Speaking of badged engineered luxury vehicles, it will be so funny if Doug did a video on the Cadillac Cimarron! I would love to to see Doug's reaction driving that.
Nathan Benoit amen brother. Couldn’t agree more. I almost get offended sometimes. It’s not gonna be the same. It was a huge deal just to have an alpine stereo, something that wasn’t really mentioned

@@JoeJohnson-xd8id I didn't know the 3-valve was that old, I'm pretty sure the 4-valve, which this and most first-gen Navigators of the era, predates the 3-valve by a few years.
I have crossed out "USE LINCOLN NAVIGATOR AS AN AMBULANCE" from my to-do list
@Andrew Smith you want to know what's better? SEARGENT INSURANCE!!
I daily drive a 2006 F350 Diesel.
The steering wheel, adjustable pedals, and many other things are identical to this.
I actually love having the volume, and climate buttons right there! It's a fantastically convenient place for them and I wish more cars did this.
Especially the climate controls.
Doug the type of guy to use a Lincoln Navigator as an ambulance.
Zubexlol I mean, he could. It sounds like a good idea.
monsterjambrony no.
Doug also the type of guy to resell his fast food ketchup packets.
@Christopher Adams I don't get it. sorry.

I remember those 3rd row seats, as heavy as they were, would be stolen a lot because they were super expensive.
I still have mine...
Guess I'll have to put a GPS tracker on it
22:31 "Comfort is good, not amazing but excellent"
What? How does this make any sense? Excellent is less than amazing apparently???
Doug score is so arbitrary it's silly
Kenneth Ledford I agree.
Doug just kind of talks.
Excellent isn’t as good as amazing lol. Excellent means something is very good, amazing means you’ve never experienced that level of comfort before.

Please Doug, can you review the 1994 Ford Probe GT ? Thank you
mihai0377 I had a white one.
Yass
why would he review a shit car that isnt even made currently
@@EckoHawker That shitty car like you said it's a Mazda Engine and chassis ! So you're saying Japanese Cars are shitty huh ? :))
This brought back my childhood. My mom had the exact same Navigator (color-wise, but a 2000 year model) just with less fake wood, which I highly doubt was a dealer accessory. She loved it so much she traded it in 2005 for a fully loaded black on gray 2006 Navigator Ultimate. We were so blown away by the cooled seats, power liftgate and running boards, and both cars brought many good memories. She was excited for the next generation until the 2007 dropped and came with that hideous face, so she moved on to the 2007 Escalade, and later a 2010. They never did give us that same feeling the Navigators did. My favorite quirk of the 2000 Navi was the "stadium" setting on the radio. So much reverberation 😅
Lincoln navigator has the wood trim in the first gen
my 99 eddie bauer edition explorer had that steering wheel climate controls i loved it definitely wish that it was on more cars
Chris Davis Eddie Bauer gay
My 2005 f250 lariat has it and it’s great
Actually this review is not factual as I bought one of the first Eddie Bauer edition Expeditions which was a 1997 but I bought it in November of '96!
I had the same vehicle and was thinking the same while looking at those steering wheel buttons.
I had a 2000 Explorer EB. I miss having that feature!
I remember these were huge 20+ years ago. I remember getting a sound system installed in my car at "Car Sound" off Roswell Rd in Atlanta late 90s and sitting next to my car was a black navigator owned by the Rap R&B singer Keith Sweat. It was top dog only under euro sedans. Expensive or nice 90s cars were mostly good cars and very well made for their time. I can tell Doug liked the ride quality but couldn't show it too much because to most folks its now considered a POS. I'd prefer the way this Navigator drives and works over the new one. Simple and connected. In 20 years the new Navigator will be driving with many issues from infotainment wear to turbos that no longer push air.
The first gen Lincoln Navigator. The official car of the hood
They didn't age well compared to the gm SUVs, these have been poverty, ghetto rides for over 10 years
Archos Copelin right I bought a 2002 Tahoe that wasn’t abused lol no big rims or big subwoofers
@@TheDirtbikerider14 I have 24's on my Tahoe yuuuur
Basically any third owner 15 year old luxury car.
in the sopranos and gta
You know its 1998 when you see curvy chrome rims.
@@aosorea Since it's USA, they are tires, tyres they are in the Europe... :D
I remember when this truck came out. It really was the most amazing suv anyone has every seen. If you owned one you were definitely part of the elite class LoL. If you were lucky enough, just being a passenger was your highlight of the year.
It's cool they still carry the same prestige with the latest gen but man they are expensive.
@@Powertoolz They do?
Jay Smith The depreciation after a few years makes them such a good value on the pre-owned market.
We owned a 1997 and a 2002 Ford Expedition XLT for many years. The best feature...turning the ceiling vents so the air would hit you from behind. It was great in the summer! 😁🤩🤣
This wood-plated Expedition was baller af back in 99'
My uncle had one. He's a Free Mason....
@@duke45jp *Puke
Let’s not forget the 8,800 lbs towing capacity with the ride height air suspension 😩
That Air Suspension is great until it stops working. It did on my Expedition and now it squats and is rough over bumps.
Jacob Hill same for my navigator but I swapped it out for f150 springs
You should find & review a late 80's/early 90's Lincoln LSC Mark 7!
Or mark Viii!
The mayor of Detroit went to jail because he embezzled money to buy his wife one
lmao thats the funniest thing ive heard(read) all day
Thats the most detroit shit ive ever heard
What a good man
Was he black?
@@thatebutuoyguy788 yes, but that doesn't matter bro
Thanks for doing this one Doug. Lincoln deserves to get a little love for being so forward-thinking. Now to find a Lincoln Blackwood
1998 in the title
1999 in the description
🤦🏻♂️
well it first came out in 1998, so the title is correct - the 1998 Navigator was the first big luxury SUV, but the description is correct, too, because he is reviewing a 1999 model. the title isn't referring to this one specifically
VIN states that it’s a 1999.
Thanks for all your replies I get it now 😁👍
Doug the type of guy to wear a suit when calling his bank.
Blue Skies underrated comment.
Are you kidding? Doug doesn't even wear a suit when reviewing the Bugatti Chiron.
Hard to believe this was top of the line when I was a kid.
Doug the type of guy to ride around in this Lincoln like Matthew McConaughey waxing philosophically about quirks and features.
Except Matthew McConaughey can sit in the back seat AND drive at the same time!
I’d like to see a video on a 1999 Escalade or a First Gen Yukon Denali. That’d be cool @doug
That first gen Escalade was just a rebadged Denali I hated it so much but that 2nd gen Escalade with the huge grill loved it
Anthony Goodrich Denali didnt come out till 00 or 01. 99 Escalade was a rebadged Tahoe
Joel B
Tahoe/Yukon Same thing🤣 (almost)
Shit interior and a 3rd row perfect for paraplegics
@@anthonygoodrich1256 Yeah it's funny the way this all started. Lincoln really did beat Cadillac to market. But then by the second gen, the Escalade was off and running and there was pretty much no looking back. The other factor is, GM was ahead of Ford on the non-luxury fullsize SUV. They had the 4 door Tahoe in 1996 which was actually very popular.
Doug, big time congrats on the 3 million subscribers. Noticed you just surpassed it after this video was released. Been watching since you had just a couple hundred thousand and really enjoy what you do. Wish you the best of continued success! Cheers!

Had a '98 Eddie Bauer Expedition about 10 years ago. Had the 5.4 with a cold air intake, headers and a tune. Also had the air suspension that raised it when you put it in 4 low. I kind of miss it.

Ever since I saw you post this I’ve been eager to see this video!
I just got a Limited Ford Explorer 2007, and it is such an relatable car! So funny. I love controlling temp and fan from the steering wheel. And the glass in the back is AMAZING.

Lmaoooo
My dad worked at Lincoln and I loved this when he brought one home the first day they came in. The 3rd tow was just bolted to the back section. As a kid I didn't have enough headroom. Alot of people removed them because they were useless.
Were you a 3 meters tall?
Imagine how I feel when I see that Doug rates every vehicle under 300HP at a 1 out of 10 for acceleration. I've been daily driving a car with 103HP for years, and I always arrive at my destination faster than the satnav thinks I will before the journey.
Rafterman Howard What has 103 HP?
@@Fritz___ My '92 Jetta GL had 98hp and a 5-speed manual. ;)
@@Fritz___ My '92 Sentra makes like 110hp
@@Fritz___ a lot of European cars, even brand new ones. I learned to drive stick on a 2002 Skoda Fabia, 68hp when new. You could still get up to 100MPH with four people in the car, so yes it was slow, but adequate.
I’m guessing the dougscore has become his rev up your engines catch phrase . Nobody I know enjoys his scoring and it’s not the same kind of cute saying. Obviously plenty of viewers like it but the rev up your engine thing is over in a second and gone. The moronic Doug score goes on and on.
5:21 Doug says “Imposter”! Don’t believe me? Watch it again!! 5:21 caught in 4k📸SO SUSSY 😱
MAKE IT STOP
I used to own a Lightning, I also used to jack a lot of interior parts from these Navigators at junk yards for my lightning
I have a side-by-side comparison of the 1998 Navigator and the 2018 Navigator on my channel. Pretty interesting to see them sitting together.
Intech meant it was DOHC. Throw a supercharger on it and it is the same engine in your Ford GT.
Not even close. The Ford GT engine shares 3 things with this thing; displacement, 8 cylinders in a V arrangement, and 32 valves. That's where the similarities end.
The GT engine was a totally different animal.
its bore and stroke length are different and material also different.
My buddy Nicholas used to have a 2000 Lincoln Navigator which was his first car and when he got it, the paint on it (which was a beige color) was completely messed up so he decided to wrap it in a black color and after that, he added some big rims on it and even added subs in the back and also an aftermarket radio and whenever he would take it to school, he would blast music in it until class started but after he owned it for a couple years, he sold it to his friend and got a first generation Toyota Tundra and after he sold the Tundra, he got a Dodge Dart
Doug is the type of guy that reviews your SUV in your own front garden but doesn't give a f**k about the flowers he stands on as he speaks about similar type of SUV models of the same era.
Press 'F' to pay respect to those flowers.
Doug, the "In-Tech" monicker simply differentiated the 32V DOHC versions of the Triton engines vs the plebian 2-valvers.
The engine in that truck is actually highly desirable and can easily knock on the door of 1K horsepower with forced induction.
I'd be curious how your driving impressions would change if that were done to it 😆
Mine has been super reliable!
So far the only problem on the engine has been a leaky oil pan gasket!
Just here for the "Doug the type of guy" jokes😂😂😂
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Doug's the type of guy that washes his eating utensils between bites!
Me to Who wants to see a review of a shitt$ old Lincoln
Speaking of badged engineered luxury vehicles, it will be so funny if Doug did a video on the Cadillac Cimarron! I would love to to see Doug's reaction driving that.
I love you channel Doug but you need to stop comparing the old car designs to the modern designs
Nathan Benoit amen brother. Couldn’t agree more. I almost get offended sometimes. It’s not gonna be the same. It was a huge deal just to have an alpine stereo, something that wasn’t really mentioned
I love the climate controls on the steering wheel
My Town Car from that era had it too. Loved it.
Doug, I'll buy your personalized autograph picture, but only in front of the new C8 Corvette.
When you watch the video on the 2018 Navigator, it’s truly amazing to see how far the navigator has come in 20 years. Props to you for stepping your game up Ford! I sat in a brand new 2020 Explorer today, and I’ll be honest. I’m not a ford guy, but I was blown away by how nice it has gotten. Ford is stepping their game up fr
Doug the type of guy who NEVER skips ads on RUclips.
doug the type of guy that thinks the 5.4 is a good motor
1 for fun factor? that engine note should give it atleast a 2 or maybe even a 3
Seven when intimidating drivers of small cars!
I think driving it off a cliff would be pretty exciting
Doug the type of guy to show up to court wearing shorts and a tee.
In Sidious not just A tee. At least two
Well, yeh, would anyone say anything to him... He's dougy D.
jk...
Well two tees😂
You need to find a Lincoln Black Wood. The first Luxury full size truck. One year model only I think as well
