Lincoln Navigator Submodels
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.
Buying Tips
- Check the air suspension on first and second-generation models for leaks or sagging; many have been converted to coilovers.
- On 2005-2014 models with the 5.4L V8, listen for a ticking noise at idle, which indicates failing cam phasers.
- Also on the 5.4L V8, be aware that spark plugs can break during removal, making a simple job costly.
- Test all electronic features thoroughly, including the power running boards, infotainment system, and power seats.
- Inspect the frame, rocker panels, and cab corners for rust, particularly on vehicles from the Salt Belt.
