Kind of funny. Many years and many pounds ago, I owned a 1985 Mustang GT, one of the hottest American cars on the road (yes I said “one of”). Just for giggles, I looked up the performance of an’85 GT, depending on who you asked, the quarter mile was between 14.3 and 14.9. The 60 mph stopping distance was somewhere around 200 ft and the mileage was 16 city and 24 highway. This is the funny part, the performance of this behemoth matches or exceeds the mid 80s hottest cars while getting about the same mileage and able to carry 4 or more additional passengers and their luggage.

Smaller hi rev engines burn out faster but unless you are loaded up with the whole family, pulling a trailer & sticking your foot in it at every stop light, I'm sure the a six cyl is adequate.

0-60 sure isn't bad, and better than I thought a v-6 turbo could move that beast. But I am terribly concerned about the engines ability and longevity when towing anything. Regular gas engines by their design are not good fuel efficient haulers. But the torque found in a V-8 and the fewer RPM's needed driving when towing still seems superior than a v6. And both inferior to a diesel engine.

Also note, that crash survivability in a Lincoln Navigator is extremely high. That's worth something...maybe everything.
