What Our Members Are Saying about the Reliability And Durability of the Lincoln Navigator
| Lincoln Navigator Reliability And Durability: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.4L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Transmission is very fragile. Google ZF6HP26 problems. This is the german trans ford put in this truck. Very expensive to repair. full 2006 Lincoln Navigator review |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.4L V8 6-speed automatic RWD |
I came to the Navigator after having owned (in no particular order) 2 BMWs, a 964-series Porsche, an MKIII Golf, and a 1st gen Jeep GC. Being something of a Euro-snob at the time, I approached the Navigator with some contempt. To my surprise, the Navigator has been almost trouble free, with only a single repair ($500) in the 50K miles I have driven it. I bought it because the price was right and I needed a full size SUV. The previous owner and his kids had abused the interior and it smelled awful, so I expected a lot of problems. I have been pleasantly surprised with the low operating costs. full 2005 Lincoln Navigator review |
