I was shipped this same video before I took possesion of my 98 Navi back in 1998. I was first in the Baltimore area to have it . It got stares every where I went. It was so new the insurance company didn't know how to insure it at first!
My uncle use this as a luxury SUV The he sold it to us and we started using it as a family SUV. Then we got a 2013 navigator and the 2000 one ended up as a very abused cargo truck...
He also narrated 2 Mercedes Benz based info tapes. One about the history of Mercedes on a salesmen training program and an owner’s manual supplement tape on the early Mercedes SL 500.
My mom had a 2001and 2002 navigator and I loved them both as a kid this car rode like a dream she now has a second gen 2005 that paid for and she just got a new 2019 she loves Lincoln and so do i
I have a 2000 Navigator, the best SUV I have ever owned I still have it to this day with almost 300,000 miles on it and still runs strong. Looking to buy another one.
Proud owner of a 1998 Oxford white Lincoln Navigator . Originally purchased in 2000. It's got 149,000 miles and is in mint shape. Never any major work done to the truck. The 5.4 was meant to push , tow and carry. Mine was used for around town shopping and long trips. You feel so safe ridding in it. I'm going to keep my 1998 Navigator forever. It holds so many great memories. This truck has never disappointed me or my family. It is a very easy truck to work on. Just reaching that right rear sparkplug and coil is tedious. I'm definitely going to eventually purchase a newer model, but I will never get rid of my great 98.
@Droster D You’re stupid, these older suvs look much better than the shitty crossovers that have taken over the suv market of today, and perform better too. New suvs are basically just minivans, round ugly v6 minivans... The older suvs were essentially still trucks, with actual 4 wheel drive and a v8 option not hardly given now. They are much hardier and reliable vehicles then the plastic garbage cans made now.
I just got a 1998 Lincoln Navigator.. It needs some restoration, but I love it! Planning to restore it as much as possible to look like the one featured in this video.
my cousins used to have a 2000 one when i first saw their car back in 01 i was like wowww this car is fancy i wanted my parents to get that car it had a dvd player man you were rich as hell if you had one of these back then i want an old one!!
I have a 98 navigator, I keep it around for towing all my toys & use it for work alot. I rutinely tow 10,000 lbs with it. I tow a 14' dump trailer, a 16' trailer & Kubota L35 backhoe, my boat & a 7500 lb camper. Even at 13 years old, it's still comfy to drive & when I get her detailed she still looks good. Having been in the towing biz, I knew Fords are tough, that's why just about all light duty wreckers are Fords. That's why I went with the Navigator.
Ford definitely didn’t skimp out on the engines they put into the Lincoln Navigators and Aviators. That was a big reason I got an ‘04 Aviator, it’s got even more hp than the Navigator of that year. And it used the same engine as the Mach 1 Mustang, Dohc v8 that puts out 302 hp. I’ve had on several occasions some idiot pull up beside me in another suv or truck, usually a v6 acting ballsy, and I mean I just blow them away in this thing. Lincoln honestly was just into making sleepers at the time I think. With a few mods I’m sure I could probably make my car stupid powerful for what it is.
I’m buying a ‘98 Navigator from my grandfather I’m excited to get her back on the road I need to do some basic maintenance on it like new tires oil change etc but I love this car lol
Lol. I still have mine! Not much I can do with the VHS tape anymore, sadly. The brochure is still in great shape, and I love the actual color chips and not printed reproductions.
mishafle Yep. Pretty well done though. Most lux brands are rebadged or gussied up common nameplates. You can hate on it, but as an owner I love it because most mechanical parts are easy to come by being the same as Expedition, F-150, etc. The 4R100 transmission is a beast as is the 5.4L V8, and those are normally found in the F-250s which are a pretty hardcore light duty truck.
Yes, they were and kept it under wraps until they were delivered to dealers . It had Cadillac Seriously Scrambling to create their first Escalade in response, which IMO paled in comparison... I just wish I could have seen the Cadillac executives' faces when they saw the first Navigators rolling out.. 😄 I wasn't able to buy a Navigator till the 2003 model which had over 100,000 miles on it when I traded it for a 2007 which I still have. I nicknamed my 2007 Navigator "007".. I just took the 2 off .😀 I'm still driving it and it has over 134,000 miles. It is my oasis. ❤
Manny Diaz Me too Manny. I remember my dad had this exact Navigator from when I was 5 and my brother was born until 2004. So many memories in that truck. He recently got the latest Navigator and while he loves it too, he still missed his '98. So for his birthday last year, my mom, my aunt (my dad's sister) and I tracked it down and bought it back for him. His face just lit up when he saw it again after 10 years. And he appreciated that so much, he gave it to me as my car. Feels the exact same to me now as it did when I was 5. I'm never letting it go again.
@@MichaelD8393 My father bought it from my uncle, and it was used as the whole family hauler. nowdays we have a more recent navigator and this one started decaying a bit for being unused... now that i'm older, i'm working on repairing it so i can use it as my first car!

@@ixcutamp8059 Good on ya, Eduardo. I feel any older car still deserves to be on the road, creating memories for its owner. A good example of that is my friend's brother's old Honda Prelude. My friend and I snuck out of high school one day in October of 2008 and his brother took us to the mall in the Prelude to buy CDs and have lunch in the food court. His brother had the Prelude until he & his wife had their first baby when he sold it to get a Honda Pilot. I got hold of the VIN number once and learned the Prelude went through two more owners, the second of which sold it for scrap after the alternator died. That was such a shame; a new alternator wasn't so hard to find and put on. All the memories of that October day flooded back to me and I vowed to myself I would have my own Prelude before I got married.
Honestly i really want to see Doug review this car because he was talking about it in his “cars i want to review” video, i really wanna see what 90s luxury was like
I believe those are for the two side window vents. In the rear window panes, there are electric motors that open and close them, so those are the switches you see. Models with a sunroof will have a third in the middle. Mine has the sunroof, so a third middle switch is there, but no rear A/C controls like the one showed in the video.
I have a beautiful 98 navigator I have fully restored. absolutely wonderful in horrible winter ice and snow, a silent dream cruising down the r oad. Much more into it than what its worth I suppose, but its like new in and out and I don't pay 900 or a month for a new one.
Than in 1999 This Navigator got the 5.4L DOHC 32V V8 making 300 HP and 355 Ibs of torque. This engine would be a good swap for an old hot rod or a muscle car.
I have the same one they used in this video after 250,000 miles doesn't run needs a new fuel rail and spark plugs. $1,500 it's yours😉 baby momma's father took them off then had a stroke. Master mechanic he said, master panic he's almost dead lol 😅
Excelente camioneta muy fuerte y cómoda para la familia se maneja muy agusto, la gasolina apesta de que es muy cara no importa para un vehículo con motor 5.4 es muy poco lo que consume , hasta más una cherokke de 6 en línea
i've loved these and expeditions since i was young, but now i look at them and almost throw up, the current gen navigator is totally awesome, the crapillac escalade doesn't come close
No. They have three rows. Second-row was standard with bucket seats and a center console, but optional was the 60/40 split-fold bench seat and the third-row seat was a 3-passenger single-folding and removable seat.
Josh Dollins, My dad owned a 99 Navigator, my mom a 99 Expedition Eddie Bauer, she got it as a present for “Hey, thanks for having my kids” haha In 2004, she purchased a Navigator Ultimate and we still have them, just recently she bought a 18’ Navigator L Black Label, amazing vehicles
My mother used to have one of these too when I was a kid, it was beautiful pearl white with a beige interior and watching this brings back so many memories of road trips and stuff we had in it. Sadly, she felt that it was just too big for just the two of us and we ended up replacing it in 2003 with a blue Mercedes C240 station wagon which she regretted as it was cramped and unreliable, she sold it after 7 years though, now every we see one of these Navigators on the road she feels instant regret for selling hers as most of them are in horrible condition with huge wheels and window tint and it is just too hard to find one for sale in good condition :(
Dirrty Waterz i got a 02 navigator 175,000 miles on had it for 4 yrs its about to be black a new attitude the same color of my Cadillac Escalade these are my big bitches.
just came here because i just got this truck less than 2000 running strong i hear this truck is tha same as ford i hate ford every time i go the junkyard is full of ford

We're you or are you rich?
The narrator in this video is Peter Thomas, the narrator of Forensic Files. Cool bit of trivia I thought I'd share.
That's where I heard it
My uncle use this as a luxury SUV
The he sold it to us and we started using it as a family SUV.
Then we got a 2013 navigator and the 2000 one ended up as a very abused cargo truck...
I knew I heard his voice before! Lmao
He also narrated 2 Mercedes Benz based info tapes. One about the history of Mercedes on a salesmen training program and an owner’s manual supplement tape on the early Mercedes SL 500.
RIP
This was so much better than the first Escalade back then
My mom had a 2001and 2002 navigator and I loved them both as a kid this car rode like a dream she now has a second gen 2005 that paid for and she just got a new 2019 she loves Lincoln and so do i

Ive noticed these like working!
Use it a lot, and it will last a lot!
I love these first generation navigators
Maximiliano Luera this car is ugly asf seriously
first gen is unique and awesome, second gen interior is kinda ugly in my opinion
Maximiliano Luera the truck Lincoln navigator in 98 at $ 48'000
I like the first gen but the late 99 model year one that got the 4 valve 5.4 engine instead of the Triton 5.4

Still here watching in 2019✊🏿 im getting one
I just got mine exceeded my expectations!! Super torquey then I thought very smooth ride bro I love mine ! I’m 16 and a 97’ Navigator was my first car
My dad had this Navigator promo vid when I was a kid. As a car nut, I watched it till the tapes stretched. Still a beautiful car tho

Joseph Alvarado that's exactly what i thought I've seen so many forensic files i wouldn't watch them if he wasn't the voice
These were the first true full size luxury SUVs.
Yes, they were and kept it under wraps until they were delivered to dealers .
It had Cadillac Seriously Scrambling to create their first Escalade in response, which IMO paled in comparison... I just wish I could have seen the Cadillac executives' faces when they saw the first Navigators rolling out.. 😄
I wasn't able to buy a Navigator till the 2003 model which had over 100,000 miles on it when I traded it for a 2007 which I still have.

I'm still driving it and it has over 134,000 miles.
It is my oasis. ❤
Four grown up white Americans in Lincoln, bought wood ships and paintings and then drove deep into woods
Living their best life! 👀🤷🏿♂️
It's basically a dressed up Ford Expedition.
Detailed Obscurity And it still doesn't look better than the 92-96 Ford Bronco.
I agree, but I prefer the 80-91.
Looting By Appointment Only no it’s not. They share the same chassis however.
No shitt mr.haucki gs
And here I’m buying a 2000 Lincoln Navigator 24 years later
Love this truck

@@MichaelD8393 My father bought it from my uncle, and it was used as the whole family hauler.

now that i'm older, i'm working on repairing it so i can use it as my first car!

@Astro Birb only works in california though
I have the exact same truck, same color and all. This is what you call a truck hands down.
This video is corny as sh*t but now I want a Navigator. lol
Rick Flores Lincoln Navigator is the best, I’m getting a 2003
I own a 2004 and absolutely love it
Honestly i really want to see Doug review this car because he was talking about it in his “cars i want to review” video, i really wanna see what 90s luxury was like
He just did a video on a 98 Lincoln Navigator
My mom has had her navigator since 2000 and know its mine lol
Mat Cardoso that's a long ass time to own a car. 4 years later, do you still have it?
Hayes Riviere mine is a 98 runs smooth still got some electronic problems I fixing now but it's solid
this stunned gm, they had to sramble to do something, hense, escalade and denali!
we had 2 of these Bad Boys back in 1998 and 99
I believe those are for the two side window vents. In the rear window panes, there are electric motors that open and close them, so those are the switches you see. Models with a sunroof will have a third in the middle. Mine has the sunroof, so a third middle switch is there, but no rear A/C controls like the one showed in the video.
Yup, had one of these from 1999 to 2010.
Im a 100% escalade but i like the 2nd generation of navigator especially the limited edition!!!
@quirpco well mine dosnt get 5.5mpg, i get 15.8 right now but maby the kept dogging it out or somthing?

i ride seit 4 years 98 navigator with out any trouble..love the v8 sound..
Which music did they use????
Than in 1999 This Navigator got the 5.4L DOHC 32V V8 making 300 HP and 355 Ibs of torque. This engine would be a good swap for an old hot rod or a muscle car.
I love that engine, I have it in my '04 Nav. It responds really well to mods, i added an intake, exhaust and had it tuned, it pulls really hard
Yes love 5.4 dohc
Thankeee
Where can I find the music library that was used for this video??
It's probably original.
seems very comfortable vehicle
Like riding on air my father had a 98 gold with pearl flake flip back in 2000 & kept it till 2010 at 100kmiles
Never getting rid of my 99 navigator!

5:08... Someone sees the brand new 1998 Navigator, pushes those people off the cliff, not before stealing the keys, and BAM. Afterlife of regret.
A ranch goes well with this truck.
What a luxury SUV should be.
I wish the kept the option for choosing 2 High on the 4x4's instead of full time All Wheel Drive.
It basically does that by itself
6 people cant afford this truck even though its old
Bought mine for $2000 . Black with tan guts. 2 years ago.

This is the voiceover guy from Forensic Files.
1:58 the guys right bout it won’t feel like a journey cross country
This sounds like Peter Thomas who narrates the show Forensic Files
"what a luxury should be" ... a repackaged ford expedition?
Well basically, both Navigator and Expedition are in the same platform
this is the same guys voice that does Nature on PBS
also forensic files
Love the way the boast that they have Independent FRONT suspension but dont say nothing about the rear suspension
We have this since 1999 and its at 120000kms not miles kms. Wow thats so neww..
Random---->The voiceover guy sounds like the same one that narrates the show "Snapped"
They probably refinanced their house :P
Is this Dawson’s Creek? Lol
did anybody notice the 5.5mpg?
just looked at 1 today 7k mint
Range Rovers are good in everything but relibility. Great off roader and every day driving car.

bboy22 it's a tie both of them are lURUXY vehicles
The New Ones is Already Out But I like these Expeditions and Navaigtors that First Came Out You Cannot Forget About these Throwback SUVS
Just 4 seats???
No. They have three rows. Second-row was standard with bucket seats and a center console, but optional was the 60/40 split-fold bench seat and the third-row seat was a 3-passenger single-folding and removable seat.

This SUV was designed so strange. From the front it looks bold, commanding, tall, and agile. From the rear it looks ugly, sagging, low, and just fat.
I couldn't agree more. But I kinda like it like that
Just like the current navigator!
just like a white woman lol

@Nadyancux was, now it sucks
oh NOOO,,,
what is wrong with this vehicle,,,
why this SUV do not have 2 amber yellow lights on the taillights for turning sign,,,
it is a poor design
That is for cars that get sold in Europe.
I think all-red lights look better, but ambar ones are safer.

Just like the first generation Escalade the first generation navigator was atrociously ugly
scrap yard queen. now sits in the mud waiting to be crushed. costs to much on fuel and parts are expensive
No its lincoln navigator sucks so does the ford expedition
