May 19, 2008 - For 2008 the award-winning Lincoln Navigator raises the standard by offering many desirable comfort and convenience options as standard equipment.
Engine power is provided by Lincoln Navigator's 5.4-liter, 3-valve V-8 engine, producing 300 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque. The engine is coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 6-speed transmission has smaller steps between gears than a typical 4-speed automatic and thus provides better shift quality and quicker acceleration. With a wide 6.02:1 gear ratio and two overdrive gears (fifth and sixth), the Lincoln Navigator's 6-speed offers up to a 7 percent increase in fuel economy on the highway over a typical 4-speed automatic.
The newly available Rearview Camera System adds even more appeal for full-size SUV owners to help reversing and parking manouveurs. The new standard features include:-
a power liftgate, heated and cooled seats, THX® II- Certified audio system, and power folding third row seat.
