Read somewhere that the Navigator was getting the 3.5 eco and the EXPY was getting the 3.7 and 5.0L This was an old truck trend article I think. Since the 3.7L is end of life, I am sure that this will all change.

Ha! 21 MPG on an escalade?!! I think we will have jetpacksw before that happens. Read somewhere that the Navigator was getting the 3.5 eco and the EXPY was getting the 3.7 and 5.0L This was an old truck trend article I think. Since the 3.7L is end of life, I am sure that this will all change.

The new Escalade has the 6.2 with 420HP and 460ft lbs of torque and will likely get the same 21MPG that the Silverado 6.2 gets, and it has a much more fresh and sharp look. I think the Escalade will mop the floor with this tub of crap. Ford focused on the F-150 and left this redesign to the last minute, and about 2 weeks ago one of the head engineers at Ford went "Oh crap, we forgot about the Navigator!". So they slapped in a steering wheel from the current F-150, a MFT unit from an MKZ, took a blowtorch and melted the front end to make it look like this, stopped by Jeep for some taillights from the Grand Cherokee and threw in an Ecoboost. Even Lincoln themselves said indirectly that an "all new" Navigator is coming. In other words, we'll be holding out for another 11 years. Weird move from a luxury brand that says they're starting from scratch.

We still don't know what the Expedition will look like, which is what most will get. To me the 5.4 engine was the only thing holding the Expedition from being great. The 5.0 will make for an great SUV motor. It will not be competing with the Escalade but instead the suburban.
The suburban with the 5.3 and the expedition with the 5.0 should be rather tight.

The Escalade and Range Rover look like Victoria's Secret models compared the Rosie O'Donnell looking Navigator.
