Dequindre Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I'm a fan of the horizontal screen alignment. It was kind of surprising to see the new S-Class ditch their horizontal screen for a more vertical alignment; the S-Class was one of the earlier vehicles to adopt the horizontal screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 And that's the benefit of the tablet approach to screens. You can just slap a bigger one on at a refresh and "keep up with the Jones' " without having to redesign the whole dash. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zgxtreme Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 In what would be a weird trickle down, I hope this (the form factor) makes its way down to the Computer Screen option on the Interceptor. Vertical alignment for a screen linked to a laptop is idiotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slemke Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Powerboost hybrid available also. On Feb. 3 we should know more details on whether it will be a high output version. Current navigator uses the Raptor 3.5EB, I expect the ‘22 to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlcorbett Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I wonder if ford will put the new v8 thats to be used for the raptor in the nav is an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would allow navigator to one up the Germans and sell a 100k+ premium vehicle. All depends on cafe and how many predator v8s the plant can crank out. I think Ford should be investing in a small (4.0-4.5l) twin turbo v8 for their top performance models. In the meantime, use the predator and recoup the development cost.

I doubt it. I had that thought at first but they will most likely keep the 3.5 and offer a hybrid of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about a powerboost hybrid, but I doubt the floor pan was designed to accommodate a battery pack like the aviator. Changing the floor pan may be too much cost for a refresh.

Uh the Navi has a frame like the F-150, so they can fit it there no issues and most likely not affect any sheetmetal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlcorbett Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 The current frame was already modified for hybrid batteries if I recall correctly. The hybrid was supposed to be due by 2023 with a pure electric version due 2026, which may have an entirely new frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like a regression to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the expedition and navigator sat lower on the frame than the f150 super crew with the flat floor in the rear. It’s been a while since I was in a Navigator to remember. The f150 got a different gas tank and who knows what else to accommodate it. The battery looks like it sits slightly above the frame on the f150, but then the frame rises up behind it and they appear fairly flush at the rear of the pack. Wheelbase is the same between the super cab and super crew, yet only the super crew got the hybrid. There could be some other packaging issues.
