438-601: A name from the Mark VIII). Due to the increase in power, towing capacity would increase to over 8,500 lb (3,900 kg). Although the Lincoln Navigator shares the same bodyshell as the Ford Expedition, giving it a similar exterior appearance, Lincoln stylists would make many design changes to differentiate the two vehicles. Forward of the windshield, the Lincoln Navigator shares no body panels with its Ford counterpart, with its own front fascia (a grille design shared with

The Lincoln Navigator was also developed under the Ford program code name UN173, with the Expedition developed under the UN93 program code name. A full-size body-on-frame vehicle,

803-572: A significant shift in the exterior styling of the Navigator, as it adopted styling features of the 2017 Lincoln Continental.

The Lincoln Navigator was launched on July 1, 1997, for the 1998 model year, with the first vehicle rolling off

1679-560: The Washington Auto Show the following day (January 23, 2014).

1898-547: The 1998 Lincoln Navigator came with a towing capacity of 7,700 lb (3,493 kg).

The interior of the two vehicles shared more commonality, with the dashboard common to both vehicles (with greater use of wood trim); the Navigator was given its own seat design. To make for a quieter interior over the Expedition and Ford F-Series, the Navigator made greater use of sound deadening materials and higher-quality carpeting. The Lincoln Navigator included standard features available or optional on

2044-494: The 1999 model year was replaced by the same 5.4 L 3-valve SOHC V8 that had been available in the F-150 since the 2004 model year.
