About the 2011 Lincoln Navigator
2007 redesign generation; 2011 is a late-cycle year before the bigger 2015 update.
Lincoln positions the Navigator as a traditional full-size luxury SUV with real towing strength, a roomy three-row cabin, and upscale comfort features for family travel. The brochure leans on its commanding size, quiet ride, flexible cargo space, heated and cooled seating, and easy-to-use technology like navigation and SYNC. Versus rivals, its appeal is simple: lots of passenger room, lots of chrome, lots of comfort, and truck-based capability in one package.
