The navigator concept has been revealed and i must my expectations are pretty high for the next gen of our fav family hauler. Details and information is pretty scant, but here are my takeaways if anyones interested:
1. Though not discussed, its somewhat obvious that the body will be aluminum. Lincoln did not want to talk on the body type, hopefully they do a fusion on bof and unibody thats currently used for the mb gls class.
2. The ugly body on the spied expy mule is just a prototype for an enlarged (range rover copy) of the Explorer body. I have no quarrels with this as i like how the explorer and range looks, and range is already aluminum and full sized so why not copy it.
3. the body actually seems larger, which does match the expy mules larger mule body but smaller windows (disguise the size increase).
4. The interior packaging issue will finally be addressed, please do not change this ford. Also, it looks like the power running board feature could be repackaged into to body of the truck as seen om the concept as well. Though the steps are not real, i can see ford using the concept to make an advanced and repackaged version of the feature they introduced to begin with.
5. Theres alot of design elements taken from other automakers, but if you cant beat em...
In all, this truck looks promising, and pretty much this truck is showing us what we will be getting next year with some tweaks. I hope they make the headlights a bit meaner looking but that may be reserved for the expy. What do you guys think about it, it seems ford is finally takin this truck seriously again.
