-I got a Reserve and it came with an amazon echo with the Lincoln star on it. I would think with a Black Label you should get something cooler than an echo for sure.
We got nothing with our Black Label ... unless you count the nice little black leather strip with brushed metal wrap around with Lincoln star on one side and dealer name on the other with the key fob ...
UPDATE: took 6 months but .....

Just took delivery of our 2018 Navigator on Saturday and started getting an error message on the digital dashboard "Drive Control Malfunction Service Required" the next day.
Can't figure out what this means but it looks like we have to take it in!
Kinda sucks...loving the truck otherwise...
So NYGFan1, has this issue been resolved? What was the problem?

Large black SUVs look like a hearse to my wife & I. .... not ready for that (yet). ?
I have, over many years had many black cars, a couple white, a burgundy Miata M Edition, a dark brown metallic 72 Thunderbird, a light green 64 Thunderbird, a couple light blue, several (more recently) red. Black is one of the most difficult to keep looking well, but is very good looking when kept looking well ... it is very, very hot (surface and interior) in sun.
Weve now moved into 2018 Navigator Burgandy Velvet. ... looks GREAT, the rest is to be determined.

Very nice now but this winter (I use the term loosly) it actually dusted us with some snowflakes which stuck for a few hours in the shade.I can't help but notice how significantly different your climate looks compared to the gray bareness we still have here, haha.
We also had couple days with temps in high teens ... didnt get above freezing for 2 days (very unusual)! ... but having grown up in Illinois I know what you mean ?.

Wow, that is one gorgeous Nav! Love the burgundy color and even the insides. Wow!!
The interior is pretty much the only reason we went all the way to Black Label.

LBH,Thanks for sharing this pictures. We have the same color ordered and are trying to wait patiently. We have only seen it in glossy advertisements and it great to see it on someone's production vehicle. Of course it making the wait more difficult. Shouldn't be too long with Fuzzys help we found it should be built on the 13th.
Good luck with it.
Worth the wait ... good luck.

Unfortunately NTTA, according to my conversation with them yeasterday no longer has external toll tags; only the inside stick-on.
-
Owners manual 2nd printing page 104 shows to position Toll Tag to the driver side of rear view mirror .... I do not (as yet) know if it works (My dealer Tech Guy says he is unaware of any issues and to mount on passenger side of mirror; so we have conflicting indications.
-
I do have the heads-up display. I don't see any hash marks. Just some frit dots next to the block behind the mirror, but transponder doesn't work there either.
SunPass is sending me an external transponder - now I need to find somewhere to hide it. Don't want it ruining the beautiful lines on the vehicle.
EDIT:
Here's the message sent to dealers: http://mdev.fordtechservice.dealerconnection.com/Oasis/BroadCastMessages(accessed on 2/8/18)
2/5/2018 5952 - 2017-2018 Lincoln Continental/Navigator - Advanced Heads-Up Display (AHUD) - Highway Toll Responder No Signal/Poor Performance.
Some 2017-2018 Lincoln Continental and Navigator vehicles may experience a concern with poor reception of highway toll transponders if the vehicle is equipped with AHUD. If this condition occurs, make sure that the location of the transponder on the windshield is within the hash marked sunscreen area of the windshieldand against the rearview mirror mount trim. Positioning of a transponder outside the hash marked area of the windshield will degrade reception.
I do not see the referenced hash marked area ... but then I am not sure what they mean by ‘hash marked’.
What exactly am I looking for?
Has anyone been able to find the ‘ ... hash marked area ...’ referenced???

After going over my agents numbers more closely and checking back on what I've paid last found the the 'current' $ the agents program showed was not correct but much lower than what I had actually been paying .... so, the difference it gave was way off. Turns out that covering the 2018 Navigator will cost me $19 and some change (6 months) more than I had been paying for the two vehicles. Still a bunch o' dollars, but not as much an increase as originally told.

Planning to trade 2007 MX-5 Grand Touring PRH and a 2015 F150 Platinum on 2018 Navigator; checked with my insurance agent .... Insurance premium to MORE THAN DOUBLE (like 2.2 times) what it was to cover both the current cars. That smarts!

Fuzzymoomoo,fuzzymoomoo, Could we check status on VIN 5LMJJ2TT6JEL08998 again? I noticed a date change at the bottom of the window sticker this morning. Thanks.
On Friday 3/30/18 the date at the bottom of my window sticker changed to 3/30 then again on 3/31 it changed to 3/31. No change on 4/1 or today (4/2).
Could you check the current whereabouts of VIN 5LMJJ2TT6JEL08998 ?
Thanks,

So ... order production scheduling is by 1-dealer allocation 2- order priority 3-orderdate within (I assume) assembly resource?

January Production, Kentucky Truck Plant
Ford F series Super Duty .............................29,672 (29,924)
Ford Expedition ..............................................6,816 (6,355)
Lincoln Navigator ...........................................1,816 (854)
Kentucky Truck (Louisville) (T) .....................38,304 (37,133)
I am confused; was Jan production 38,304 or 37,133? And what is the other number?
-
The rims are unique to BL vehicles only.
Also, the side "Navigator" badge is in black with the word Navigator in chrome. Otherwise, that's about it as far as I know.
The difference is on the inside! :-)
AND ... the ‘LINCOLN’ letters across the back are black ...

fuzzymoomoo,
Could you check status on
VIN 5LMJJ2TT6JEL08998
again? Found a window sticker at ' www.windowsticker.forddirect.com' this morning but not sure exactly what that says about where we are at.
Thanks

You are correct. Sales code is the Dealer code, and Order code is the order number
that said:
VIN 5LMJJ2TT6JEL08998
Scheduled to Day (2018-03-23)
ETA April 16-22
You only need your VIN from here on out

I believe the side mirrors on the Black Labels are bright and the others are dark. AND ... the LINCOLN letters across the back are black ...
There is not much to distinguish the Black Labels from the outside and what there is is only noticed if you know what to look for.

Cograts ozymandias. Mine ordered 2/2 schedule. Build 3/22, eta 4/16-22.
If you are interested ...
I’ve spent considerable time researching on internet trying to become informed on scheduling, production times and processing.
Best i’ve found on scheduling is on Ford trucks but i’m guessing it is pretty much same on Lincoln ...

How many Navigators are produced in a day? Does the plant alternate days producing the other vehicles? Just wondering how long until I will get my new truck.
Looks like we are running 35 Navigators a shift. This equals out to roughly 420 Navigators a week. I was able to look a few days of production to get these numbers. The numbers could go up or down depending on stock issues and how the plant is running. Hope this helps you out.

Does it typically only take a day to be built? First time ordering a vehicle vs. buying on the lot.
I'm not sure if every plant is the same, but at MAP where I work its about 24 hours start to finish.

Looks to me like your dealership make-ready department is doing their job well.
