Bringing back from the dead

No one mentioned the NAvi has a WAY stronger frame, boxed with more cross members! LASTS LONGER, WAY SMOOTHER RIDE, LESS SQEAKS, NO FLEX, & MUCH SAFER!

And the older Nav's have 300hp compared to the Expy's 260hp

I drove my sisters brand new Expy, and all I have to say is... I loooove my '01 Navigator!

Oh yeah, I'm pretty darn sure! Drove both quite a bit, over speed bumps or un-even surfaces you can feel and hear the Expy twist slightly. The Navigator doesnt do that at all ! I love it. My sister even shared the same opinion. It's a difference you can feel, if you're keen to that kind of stuff.

As far as the hp, I know the NEW Expy's have the same hp, I was just talking about the older ones But even so, I like the 4v better than the 2v or 3v, the low end trq seems much better. The Nav comes with an aggressive tune (hense the 91oct requirment).
