Battle of the $100,000 SUVs, and Navigator is Gaining!

[gtnator]

Who would have thought? It's surprising, at least to me, that there is so much competition to sell $100,000 SUVs. But the good news for Ford is that, with the new Navigator, they are now in the game and most say, with a winner.

These are older, but more proof that Ford has a winner:

Eh it’s all good this section is for everyone anyway so not like it’s out of place.

The new GM SUV generation will be here before we know it I’m sure since the pickups are being revamped, let’s we what they fire back.

Unless they drop the solid rear axle for IRS (which they won't) I don't think they'll ever win me over.

Actually rumor is they will with the next redesign for the 2020 model year, out n cut year.

And in this case, Ford can’t deliver a built Navigator: https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2018/04/12/navigator-delivery-delay/508058002/
