Lincoln Navigator

The Lincoln Navigator launched for the 1998 model year, beating its main rival, the Cadillac Escalade, to showrooms by a year. Based on the Ford Expedition, it offered a higher level of luxury and features, defining the American full-size luxury SUV segment. Its immediate success proved there was a strong market for truck-based SUVs with premium appointments.

Collector interest is split between two distinct groups. Early first-generation (U228) Navigators are now viewed as nostalgic icons of late-90s excess, with clean, low-mileage examples becoming harder to find. In contrast, the fourth-generation models (U554), introduced in 2018, are sought after for their modern twin-turbo V6 performance and opulent Black Label interiors. The market reflects this split, with an average price of $41,912 skewed by expensive late-model sales, while older models represent an affordable entry point.

Prices range from $580 for project vehicles to $88,817 for top-spec examples.
