What Makes the Lincoln Navigator Towing Capacity Possible?

Under the skin of a new Lincoln Navigator, two virtues join forces to let you haul it all. The first is the Lincoln Navigator SUV's engine: an innovative powerhouse. It's a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 with auto start/stop, and it offers you the best of both worlds. You'll enjoy the effortless acceleration of its 440 horsepower without any guilt; despite the Lincoln Navigator SUV's commanding presence, this model delivers an impressive EPA-estimated 17/23 MPG (city/highway)¹ with its 2WD drivetrain format.

The drivetrain is another factor behind the Lincoln Navigator tow capacity. Backing all the power, the Lincoln Navigator is the very essence of durable, strong construction: a body-on-frame layout. With the option of standard 2WD or available 4WD at your command and a hefty 510 pound-feet of torque sent through an advanced 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, the extra-strong Lincoln Navigator towing capacity is a natural result.

Lincoln Navigator Towing Capacity By Configuration

So, what is the Lincoln Navigator towing capacity? It varies depending on your chosen configuration. The first factor is whether you've decided to drive home the magnificently luxurious Lincoln Navigator or the extra-spacious Lincoln Navigator Black Label L. The lengthened Lincoln Navigator Black Label L has a higher curb weight, naturally reducing its towing capacity; yet, it still easily tops the competition.

The second configuration-based factor to consider is whether you lease a new Navigator with a 2WD or 4WD layout, as 2WD models will have less mechanical drag to overcome. Your choice of trim level will not affect the towing capacity, though.

With that in mind, any Lincoln Navigator 2WD will offer you an incredible towing capacity of 8,700 pounds when properly equipped.

Its extended brother, the Lincoln Navigator Black Label L 2WD, will provide a still-competitive towing capacity of 8,400 pounds when properly equipped.

Choose the Lincoln Navigator 4WD, and you'll get an impressive towing capacity of 8,300 pounds when properly equipped.

As the final configuration, a Lincoln Navigator Black Label L 4WD will offer a towing capacity of 8,100 pounds when properly equipped.

The towing capacity of the Lincoln Navigator configurations is a powerful figure across the board. It can handle everything from a small horse trailer to a large camper.

Lincoln Navigator Towing Capacity vs. the Competition

The towing capacity of our new Lincoln Navigator SUVs isn't just impressive in a bubble; the body-on-frame, three-row luxury SUV competition can't keep up.

For instance, the Cadillac Escalade and Chevy Suburban can only tow a maximum of 8,300 pounds when properly equipped — 400 pounds short of the maximum Lincoln Navigator towing capacity.

Another competitor is the Infiniti QX80, and it can only tow a maximum of 8,500 pounds when properly equipped — 200 pounds short of the top Lincoln Navigator towing capacity.

If you want to command the epitome of luxury and power, the Lincoln Navigator will satisfy.

The Lincoln Navigator Towing Features & Heavy Duty Tow Package

The powerful Lincoln Navigator towing capacity can accommodate some serious cargo, but as any towing pro knows, power is only half the battle. The other half is a set of figurative eyes, ears, and hands to assist you on your journey. In every Lincoln Navigator, you'll find a confidence-inspiring roster of features and assists to help you out during every towing job.

The first benefit is the standard Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 safety technology, offering an easier journey with features like a lane-keeping system. A 360-degree camera makes hitching up, one of the more challenging aspects of towing, a much more straightforward task.

But, the ultimate Lincoln Navigator towing capacity is befitting of the ultimate towing features; with the Heavy Duty Tow Package, that's precisely what you get.

For starters, this package sets your vehicle up with a Class IV trailer hitch and 4-/7-pin connectors. But more importantly, it includes a Smart Trailer Tow Connector with a trailer brake controller and trailer sway control to take the worry out of windy situations or rougher stretches of road. Even more desirable is the innovative Pro Trailer Backup Assist, which makes maneuvering your trailer more convenient.

With Slow Climb driving mode and a configurable cargo management system, this heavy-hauling package is the best way to take full advantage of your powerful Lincoln Navigator towing capacity.
