2003 Lincoln Navigator, Kelley Blue Book Retail $14,700–$15,300, Available Engines, 300-hp, 5.4-liter V-8 (premium), Transmissions, 4-speed automatic w/OD, , Driving Impressions, Lincoln has made some significant improvements in the Navigator’s driving experience, just asFord has moved ahead with the 2003 Expedition, which is a close relative to Lincoln’s SUV. The Navigator’s ride is pleasantly satisfying overall, and the suspension responds quickly to bumps without overreacting. This SUV does a fine job of keeping its tires on the pavement., , The 2003 Navigator’s handling is unquestionably more refined than its predecessor’s, but a short run with the previous model demonstrated — on the highway, at least — that it wasn’t a bad vehicle at all. The revised model performs capably on twisting two-lane roads, but it’s still a tad unsure of itself at times. It’s not seriously carlike in personality, which could be a good thing, because making an SUV too carlike might detract from its other virtues., Under the Hood, Lincoln’s 5.4-liter V-8 engine develops 300 horsepower and 355 pounds-feet of torque, and it mates with a four-speed-automatic transmission. The Navigator is rated as an Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV) under California standards. The 4x4 model can tow as much as 8,300 pounds., , Interior, Depending on the second-row seating configuration, the Navigator carries either seven or eight occupants and includes a standard, 60/40-split third-row seat. Lincoln claims it is the only manufacturer to offer either a bench seat or twin buckets for the second row. A power-operated third-row seat that folds into the floor is optional, but even the manual version folds flat., , A new interior blends walnut burl with premium leather trim. The doors feature large map pockets, and the automaker says the glove box is 16 percent larger., , Standard equipment includes dual-zone automatic climate control, an auxiliary climate system for rear occupants, heated power mirrors, a six-CD changer, and a memory system for the driver’s seat, mirrors, and brake and accelerator pedals. The Premium edition comes with heated and cooled seats and Lincoln’s AdvanceTrac electronic stability system, and the Ultimate has the power third-row seat. A navigation system is optional for $1,995. A DVD rear-seat entertainment system is also available, , Safety, All-disc antilock brakes and dual-stage front airbags are standard. A curtain-type airbag Safety Canopy system enhances occupant protection in side impacts and rollovers. The revised rear park-assist system uses ultrasonic sensors and radar, taking into account both vehicle speed and distance. The newly optional AdvanceTrac system can help control skidding. A tire-pressure monitor will be available later. , , GORGEOUS TRUCK, FULLY LOADED SO MANY OPTIONS, RUNS AND DRIVES PERFECT, BEAUTIFUL WITH BLACK ON WHITE LEATHER, FRONT AND REAR BUCKET SEATS, TV W.
