thanks for the replies. YES, you can get a Navigator 'Reserve' with a bench seat. I have looked at two but............... The first one was a 'Buy Back' and even tho it was supposedly 'fixed' I was a tad hesitant to purchase it. The Second one, just yesterday, is a 'Loaner'. It has 7K miles on it. My complaint was the Lincoln dealer did not make any effort to 'spruce' it up knowing I was coming to look at!!! The 'detail' folks at that place don't seem to put any effort in doing a good cleaning and polishing. I walked away; it still looked the part of a 'Loaner'.
I am not looking to have someone sit on the 'pillow' or whatever. I just need something to take up the space so on our frequent trips I or my wife can take a respite and lay down for a short while.
years ago one had to pay extra for 'captain' seating and bench was the common arrangement. Seems to be just the opposite now......'captain' the norm and bench the rare.
