New 2009 Lincoln Navigator

One of the most popular full-size luxury SUVs, the 2009 Lincoln Navigator sets the bar with distinctive exterior styling, versatility, towing power, and a swath of luxury features.

Available as a standard Navigator, or the stretched Navigator L, both trim levels offer roomy interiors and lots of cargo room. The latter adds nearly 25 more cubic feet of space behind the third-row seats. Either trim level is available in a two-wheel drive (4x2) or four-wheel drive (4x4) configuration.

The Navigator is powered by a 5.4-liter, 300-horsepower SOHC V-8 engine creating a prodigious 365 pounds-feet of torque, mated exclusively to a six-speed automatic transmission for quick acceleration and buttery-smooth shifts. With a properly-equipped tow package, the 4x2 models can tow up to 9,000 lbs. while 4x4 models can handle up to 8,800 lbs.

Every Navigator model comes equipped with first-in-class AdvanceTrac® with class-exclusive Roll Stability Control. Combined with Control Trac® 4WD, you can conquer everything from extreme off-road conditions and low-speed towing, to extreme weather conditions in your everyday commute.  HID headlamps, power moonroof, and power rear liftgate come standard.

The only vehicle in its class to earn the government’s highest five-star front crash-test rating nine years in a row, the Navigator offers unparalleled protection for all occupants. Advanced protection features include the Personal Safety System® with dual-stage, dual front airbags, first-row seat-mounted side airbags, and advanced safety belts and energy-absorbing steering column. The Safety Canopy™ System includes side curtain airbags in the first, second, and third rows for optimal passenger safety. Of course, a four-wheel Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is also standard equipment.  The Reverse Sensing System allows you to back up with confidence, alerting you to objects behind the vehicle.  Front Park Assist, capless fuel system and rain-sensing wipers are standard for 2009.

Interior appointments are vast, with driver and front passenger heated/cooled seats in the Navigator L, standard leather trimmed front seats with 10-way power adjustment, and PowerFold™ Third-Row Seats, adding flexibility and volume to the cargo area. The new innovative SYNC system allows you to control your cell phone and MP3 player with simple voice commands, giving you complete control over in-cabin communications and entertainment Dual zone electronic automatic temperature control with auxiliary climate control is standard, and a DVD-based navigation system with voice activation, touch screen, and six-disc in-dash CD changer is optional on all models.

When it comes to power, cargo/passenger space, cutting-edge technology and luxurious appointments in a full-size SUV, the 2009 Lincoln Navigator is at the head of the class.
