What about features? Standard dual-zone electronic climate control and an auxiliary climate control system for second and third row passengers are nice touches while heated and cooled, driver and front seat passenger seats offer more direct temperature control. The power adjustable, folding side view mirrors include built in approach lamps while the one on the passenger side tilts down when placing the transmission in reverse. The Navigator's AM/FM audio system includes a 6-disc dash-mounted CD changer while secondary controls are mounted on the steering wheel. Like all premium vehicles, and many more modestly priced, the Lincoln comes with remote keyless entry, but just in case you've forgotten your keys on the way to the carport and want to get inside, an entry keypad is situated just below the side window on the outside of the driver's door. Such a feature has been a Lincoln mainstay since before remote keyless fobs were even imagined.
What's not to like? Well there were a few substandard plastic pieces but nothing to be too concerned about. The 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat with power lumbar support is comfortable but better suited to a wider girth than mine, and in order to reach the power adjustment buttons I had to open up the door, as my skinny wrists wouldn't fit between the lower cushion and the door panel. Fortunately Lincoln includes a seat memory system that also adjusts the side mirrors and power-adjustable pedals so you'll only need to do this once.
All its luxuries would be wasted if the new truck had a rough ride, but this is not a concern. The Navigator not only is softer over speed bumps and road surface irregularities but tracks better at high speed and performs emergency lane changes with an athleticism that belies its massive tonnage - 300 ft skid pad tests result in 0.76gs of lateral acceleration. Even when the road starts to twist and turn the big Lincoln makes the miles seem effortless, unless pushed beyond reasonable limits.
