Dlcorbett Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Its weird the ok to buy has been given to the expedition and not the nav. The factory vids show the nav bein built alongside the expy, and media had been able to drive the nav(and ironically not the expy as of yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe wishful thinking though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Lincolns in general are more complicated to build than their Ford counterparts. I was at FRAP during the buildup to the Continental launch, the parts fit tighter, and there's more of them in relation to their Ford counterparts. Even though KTP already built the old Navigator, there's still going to be growing pains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard is also a lot higher than for the Ford counterparts, as it rightfully should be for a luxury brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
