But, Mercedes obviously has a winning formula there so probably best to use that as a starting point and go from there Oh for sure. I just mean you can't slap a Lincoln badge on the G-wagen and call it a day, nor can you charge what Mercedes does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere between Aviator and Navigator is probably the sweet spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 This is a perfect example of why Lincoln has never pushed onto greater things, this should be a LR MB BMW moment for Lincoln but is this just imaging? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcartwright99 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Am I the only one thinking this will be a Lincoln Everest? Much easier to design a luxury truck when the doors and roof don't come off. All the off road goodies that the Bronco has but more refinement, potential air suspension or adjustable fox suspension. The question is .....can the 3.5 Ecoboost fit? Bronco Raptor base engine and F150 Raptor optional engine. 80-120k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the comments about the Bronco and Ranger Raptors, I'd say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, some crazy bastard managed to squeeze a coyote into an old Focus SVT. Do they want to spent the time and effort to rework the packaging for such a limited number? Probably not.

I’d guess they’ll look into hybridization before trying that approach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Base Bronco Raptor engine and hybrid option with more hp/tq. Mercedes makes a mild hybrid and electric G wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it had Navigator Pricing it still would be much cheaper than a G-wagon. The G-Wagon pricing is ludicrous. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet a lot less King Ranches & Platinums would be sold if there wasn't the ability for every hobby-farm to claim it as a business expense.

HRG It’s the same the world over, self employed people with a decent income buy themselves nice vehicles and then proceed to write down most of the costs on their business by claiming tax deductions. Amazing what you can do with a properly set up lease that also covers maintenance costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainp4 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 On the fixed roof vs removal top... how about a power retractable hard top? Not sure how workable that'd be on a suv sized roof, but that would really set it apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be much different than manually putting your roof panels back there. I didn't spend much time thinking about it, was just a thought that popped in my head lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would just be a body-on-frame Aviator then. Has it been determined that there will be another generation of the CD6 Aviator? I recall there were rumors of the Explorer moving to C2.....

The Explorer isn't going anywhere anytime soon platform wise-not till 2032 or so I'm going with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Explorer and Pathfinder....I find it interesting how they both have evolved throughout the years... Unibody, BOF, FWD, RWD, its like Pathfinder follows what Ford tries to do, yet never is loyal to it's initial birth or even Explorer....Like, "What the flavor for the next generation, and let's just slap a name to whatever platform we feel the masses will like. But hey, it sells well... so it's not the platform or what drives it, maybe it's just the name and marketing... 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That essentially looks like a fancy Bronco, and I think it has to be more than that to command higher prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
