2024 Expedition vs. 2024 Navigator
A Comparison of Ford and Lincoln’s Largest SUVs
When it comes to full-size SUVs, the Ford Expedition and the Lincoln Navigator often come up in conversation. Both vehicles offer spacious interiors, powerful performance, and a range of features that cater to families and professionals alike. However, despite their similarities, there are distinct differences that set them apart.
Brand Positioning and Pricing
The Ford Expedition is marketed as a versatile and reliable SUV suitable for everyday use and long road trips. It’s designed to be a more affordable option without sacrificing quality or performance. On the other hand, the Lincoln Navigator represents luxury and sophistication. It’s positioned as a premium SUV with a higher price tag, reflecting its upscale amenities and branding.
Performance and Engine Specifications
Both SUVs are equipped with robust engines, but the Navigator typically offers more power. For instance, the 2024 Lincoln Navigator boasts an engine power of 440 hp at 5,850 rpm, while the 2024 Ford Expedition has an engine power of 380 hp at 5,000 rpm. This difference in horsepower is indicative of the Navigator’s focus on a more powerful driving experience.
Interior and Comfort
The interior is where the Navigator truly shines. It offers a more luxurious cabin with high-end materials and advanced features. The Navigator comes standard with leatherette upholstery, heated and cooled/ventilated seats, and a suite of advanced technology features. The Expedition, while comfortable, typically features cloth upholstery and heated seats as available options on other styles rather than standard.
Technology and Safety
Both vehicles come equipped with a range of safety and technology features, including standard Bluetooth, navigation, and satellite radio. However, the Navigator often includes additional high-tech options and driver-assist features that may not be available on the base models of the Expedition.
Warranty and Ownership Costs
The Navigator usually offers a longer warranty period, which can be a significant factor for buyers looking for long-term reliability and peace of mind. For example, the Navigator comes with a basic warranty of 4 years/50,000 miles and a drivetrain warranty of 6 years/70,000 miles, compared to the Expedition’s basic warranty of 3 years/36,000 miles and drivetrain warranty of 5 years/60,000 miles.
Conclusion
Choosing between the Ford Expedition and the Lincoln Navigator ultimately depends on individual preferences and priorities. If luxury, performance, and advanced features are top priorities, the Navigator may be the better choice. However, for those seeking a reliable, family-friendly SUV with a more accessible price point, the Expedition could be the ideal fit.

You get that at Johnson Sewell Ford Lincoln in Marble Falls, TX. We have the right parts, tools, and technicians to help ensure that your service is performed correctly the first time.
Why are oil changes so important?
Some people question the necessity of oil changes. They think that as long as they keep the oil up to the fill line, like their washer fluid, then they will be fine and won’t have to take their vehicle in for a full change. What they don’t understand is that the oil in the vehicle exists in an environment that subject it to extreme heat which causes the oil to break down, thickening and turning into chemicals that could harm their vehicle. This causes the vehicle to become less efficient, raises the pollution level due to gases formed during breakdown, and lowers the life of the engine, which is extremely expensive to replace.
What are the benefits of an oil change?
Engine Efficiency
Fresh oil and new filters keep your engine clean, allow more dirt and debris to be carried to the filter, and allow the engine to run at the correct temperature. Changing your oil regularly allow can increase the mileage of your vehicle because it doesn’t have to work so hard to use its fuel more efficiently.
Engine Protection
Fresh oil and oil filters allow for smoother running of the engine components by lowering the amount of friction within the engine. Through this lubrication, all the moving parts of the engine stay cool and preserve their integrity. In the long run, by keeping up with your oil maintenance you lower your stress when it comes to emission testing as there are less harmful gases released into the atmosphere.
How often should I change my oil?
Many newer-model vehicles come equipped with an Oil-Life Monitor® that determines when you should change the oil based on how the vehicle is used. This means you do not have to remember to change the oil on a mileage-based schedule. Your vehicle lets you know when an oil change is due by displaying a message in the information display.
Paying close attention to your vehicle’s owner’s manual and its recommended scheduled maintenance intervals will help ensure that oil changes are done before any engine damage can occur.
