We leased one in the early 2000s. I loved that truck. It was such a comfortable ride. Sucked gas but it made you feel like a king rolling up places in that behemoth. Long live the Navi!
I have been following Tyler for a while now and still never really knew who this man really was, but I always had a sense that he's the kinda guy you'd be lucky to have as a friend and is an honest to goodness nice guy... Well Tyler, thank you for proving me right. What a great move..
I don't know about these Navigators being reliable......and they were expensive to fix. Expeditions were better, more reliable and cheaper in long run. Basically same truck but the Lincoln was worse then Expeditions
@@dmdltz843 Yeah, a lot of the Expeditions are excellent & definitely much better than the Navigators overall. But in a world of almost all unreliable & all complete garbage money pit luxury SUV’s, the Navigators are actually very reliable despite all the computer crap, that’s really their own main flaw. But you really can’t go wrong with either an Expedition or Navigator compared to other garbage luxury SUV’s such as Cadillac Escalade, Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes M Class, Audi Q3/Q5/Q7, BMW X3/X5 or Land/Range Rover.
@@2H2521 thats a long list at the end there my friend but sadly it's also an accurate list😅 I say that about Navigators because where I am from most of them are f***** up, bad motors, shot trans, or nothing inside works correctly..... I am sure they can be good trucks but haven't seen an older one hold up well at all, nor have I ever known of anyone that was really into them enough to put the work in to keep them on the road, around here I see ppl just drive them into the ground then get rid of it or junk it. Expeditions on the other hand are a different story... there are ppl stil pushing those with no problem, so they both have their common issues but my opinion, Expeditions hold up better in the long run.
There's probably some fossilized goop underneath them and would probably need paint correction afterwards. Hate to say it but it probably looks better with them left on. My only gripe is that there aren't 8, one for each cylinder.
But still. He could've easily made a fuss about it and put it in the title or thumbnail. But he acted exactly according to the situation with a little bit of childishness he's well known of: "I've got a mechanically nice car and a guy who loves it and needs it. Here you go, guy."
@@forresttm Sure, but he will never need spaces for all his cars until he stops buying garbage. I'm not really sure how I feel about the 5.4 version of the Lincoln Mark 8 but I know it's not his worst purchase. In 4.6 trim that was quite a good motor and the seats alone are well worth $400. A $100K Model S should have nicer seats than this but it totally does not
That was a very nice gesture, great job tyler.helping and giving to others in need is one of the greatest feelings you can have. The secret to happiness is helping others.
My brother used to hang out with a Washington Redskins linebacker that bought one of these new. He got to borrow it several times, it really was something back in the late 90s.
These would come in to my Ford dealer with 300k on them, beat to hell, seats split, and suspension collapsed but still moving under their own power. I didn't like them but I can respect them.
Pre 2005 ford trucks(and suvs based on them) actually were usually pretty reliable trucks drivetrain wise anyway. The interiors and body plastics don't always survive that great, but the drivetrains typically run well past 200k miles with basic maintenance every once in a while. Now post 2006 Ford's truck aint worth wasting any money on at all IMHO.
BigBing1987 just surpassed 250,000 miles on my ecoboost truck. I'd say that pretty reliable. I think these older drivetrains were not more reliable per se, but were much more forgiving when it comes to poor maintenance. If you don't properly maintain a new engine regardless of the make, it's not going to last.
My brothers and father all drive fords, its like a ford dealership when they’re all here. Engines are reliable but engines accessories and interiors break easily, especially the cheap plastic interior.
Man, that was really nice, Tyler. I have a 2000 Lincoln Navigator and I love it. They are so reliable too. You just created another happy Lincoln owner!
Yeah as a kid my mom bought a Brand new 2002 that looks identical to Hoovies Navigator Red with tan interior and I was lucky to drive it in High school for 3 years until I got my own hooptie.
A ford will go down the road broken for sure. I had a 1989 f150 with a list of issues but it never let me down. One day it dropped a piston and still got me home. I restored it later on and it was a great truck.
Hoovie January 2019: you will no longer watch many new purchases as I'm building my new house this year... Hoovie December 2019: yet another purchase for the month fellas, $400 Lincoln...
Love your channel Tyler. I'm so impressed with your gesture of kindness. And as others have said...you didn't even put the fact that you gave the car away in the title is what REALLY shows how much integrity and kindness you obviously have. Merry Christmas and a very happy and prosperous new year. God bless.
@@swandonovan Well tbh, he was probably kinda shell shocked. He obviously did not expect to be handed a car and he was probably waiting on the youtube thing to kick in and there to be a catch. You can see how he starts looking at it and kinda keeping his hand on it once he realized it was his. He was very very happy, I have known a lot of guys like him and this is about as close to jumping for joy as you will see.
Aaron yep, you could give me a new 911 and I would say thank you several times ( then cry when I can’t afford the insurance) but regardless he was thankful. You will be able to tell when he shows up with it washed and waxed
You guys are lucky that the Autobahn can even exist in your country because your citizens actually care to understand how to drive on a 3+ lane highway. In America it would never actually work because you would just have some idiots staying in the left lane and not moving over, and then everyone else thinks the middle lane is the "travel lane"
I purchased a 99 Ford Expedition new. I sold it with 212k miles. It was quiet, rode well, and had lots of room. The only issue I had was an alternator going out at 160k miles. These first gen Expeditions/Navigators are great vehicles.
Real nice thing you did Hoovie! The main reason why I keep watching your channel is because you seem like a real down to earth guy. That Lincoln was a steal at $400
I know this is an old comment but yeah im impressed with older fords. Especially since most had v6's while chevy was still using mostly v8s. Was cool you could get the same mileage out of a ford v6 as a v8 suburban. I know the excursions around this time last like 500k miles. I was only born in 97 but its so funny how people back when i was a kid would say "ford is trash". I really dont know where that notion came from. Even in other countries looking over here. I think it's because there were some crappy cars in their lineup throughout the years but generally they were pretty reliable. American's don't take care of their cars as well as others do in general as well. Honestly ford even nowadays is "decent" vs the competition. Definitly the most reliable American brand at least. Their ecoboosts can last 250-300k which is impressive for tubrocharged engines.
I had a ford contour with the v6 and it had 263k miles, had 13 different codes, some transmission, engine, power steering, fuel, emissions, ect. had issues but i drove it on a 400 mile round trip without real issues. Have even droven it with only half a jug of coolant in it without overheating when it takes 2 jugs. I remember it once wouldnt shift out of 1st or second so i drove it 7 miles back home at 4600rpms, and it didnt get very hot, despite going up hill a 1/3 of the time
One of the cars my father owns is a year 2000 model ford falcon AU2 sedan that runs on LPG from the factory. It has done over 800,000km and still runs but is at the point where things are falling appart and probably at this point has almost no value.
Lawrence Lentini I drove a second gen explorer with a cracked exhaust manifold and a check engine light for over a year with no probs. It was a little loud, but that didn’t bother me. 😅
@@SoLDMG Quite a lot of people need a car for work reasons in dispersed areas where there is not much (or any) public transport. The problem is the jobs often don't pay well and many prospective carbuyers on a very tight budget just do not have the knowledge to know which old cars are a sensible choice, reliable and not going to bankrupt them. So yes, 'Homes for Hoopties' could be a very good idea indeed.
This is a charity we can all get behind. Too many people start charities for the “look at me” factor or to make money. This small act of kindness made a huge impact on someone’s life and kept a perfectly fine vehicle out of the crusher. Hoovie out there touching lives and saving the environment.
Back glass is prone to failure. Expensive fix. Engine is rock solid. Trans is fine . Good rides. Nice top end . Set the cruise on 100 and get great mpg
I did literally buy a $400 Camry 3 days ago. Everything works, no rust, interior is a time capsule. Cheap cars are awesome. It does need a bit of repair, but for $400... its well worth it.
Just googled it, unpainted replacement part is $200, less from a wrecker where you might even find a color match. He can sell his old truck for more than that. I wouldn't be complaining. What I would be doing is dropping the oil, changing the air, fuel and oil filters and putting fresh oil in it, then getting on the phone to ring around some wreckers to find one that had been rear ended. Once I found one I'd probably go looking for a shop manual for my 'new' Lincon to see how to swap the bumper cover out.
I used to work in the Expedition and Navigator factory called Michigan Truck Plant. I worked as a prime sprayer. Theres a 50/50 chance I spray painted the inside of the door jams, the hood, and liftgate
Well i wish you had applied or sprayed more rust inhibitor on the rockers because rust through on these particular areas is common on the Navigator and Expedition. Also when was the production shifted from Wayne assembly to Louisville, Kentucky's truck plant??
I remember the first time I saw a Navigator back in 97-98 at a pharmacy, in black. Really sharp vehicle... Just spent much more on a set of tires yesterday.
I have a 2001 Lincoln Navigator for 19 years (American car) people talk bad about the American cars... let me told you that my BEAUTIFUL 2001 American car still runs like a champ with no problems on the engine or transmission... I LIVE IN AMERICA ..... I LOVE AND DRIVE ONLY AMERICAN CARS!!!
I have a 2006 Mercury Mountaineer Premiere V8 AWD, and I love it, all leather seats heated, nav in dash, 3rd row, rear temp control, mine is set up as like a perfect dad overland vehicle. Great off road, great for towing up to 7klbs, and great to clean up and dress it up for a nice night out.
The Escalade on the game has a lot of body roll, Hummer is not good handling and very slow, then there is the Navigator which is the best one out of them.
Fun fact. When the Lincoln AVIATOR (built on Explorer platform) came out in 2004' it came with a 4.6 liter 302 horsepower V8. My wife has one and even with 175K' it is still a very nice SUV. Except for the roughly 12 MPG her heavy foot gets lol. But that road gripping AWD with all the buttons will haul ass in a hurry! Great vid!
I definitely like this one, it made my day. It always pays to be a blessing to others. Side note: He does remind me of John Candy...especially from Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
I love my 1st Gen Expedition 5.4 - 2VALVE the best engine for long term service. I have 162K on mine and my sons Expy has 222K with all the work done to it and serviced properly and smooth! well done on the 1st Gen Navy.
I grew up in the back of one of these things and they hold a special place in my heart. Many beanie baby’s were hauled in that thing. We were a ford family. 2002 Nav, ford Taurus, 1997 mustang gt convertible)
Still driving my 2005 navigator. It has nearly 300k miles never garage kept I live in the north east, and the only rust was the panels( which was fixed by some welding). I also got rid of the air suspension (it went out) but I love it. I even have a new 2017 (well now used) navigator and I often find myself driving my older one more so than the newer one. (Mostly bc my son likes the drop down tv opposed to the head rest TV). But yeah old navigators still possesses more features than newer cars (no Lie). I will never own another SUV! Nothing ever beats a navigator
My 03 expedition is running just enough to get me to work and back home everyday and it's broken with 223 thousand miles on it and needs front end work. No bs.
@@tanmilne There's giving of the things that matter (which could be valuable advice or observations that won't cost us a thing but the guts to say them, not necessarily physical things), and there's giving tschochkes and garbage dust collectors that are useless and, hence, forgotten and thrown out. My chosen family and I have agreed decades ago to give each other the the gift of not having to shop for each other at this time of year. Harmonious Solstice to all! :-)!
As usual I enjoyed your video....You do excellent work. I have often wondered who was asked, or maybe how many people were asked, when it came to what lead manufactures to produce as many non 4X4 SUVs as they did/have. I, for example, learned the hard way, that while not perfect, four wheel drive works way better in some places than either two wheel or all wheel drive. So, since 1998 I have always owned at least one true 4X4 vehicle here in the "Sunny South" and currently BOTH of our trucks are 4X4s....If I or my wife find ourselves in a place or condition where 4X4 is needed we will have it on hand when that need arises (and it will). Without true 4X4 capability all one gets is a vehicle that is no more capable or comfortable than a well optioned minivan.
I like how hoovie didn't say hes giving a car away to someone in the title. That's real kindness. Hoovie is mad humble.

Honestly ford even nowadays is "decent" vs the competition. Definitly the most reliable American brand at least. Their ecoboosts can last 250-300k which is impressive for tubrocharged engines.
"A Ford will go down the road with more wrong with it than anything else."
I know that for a fact between my two second gen Exploders XD
Many old Ford's on life support these days...
Lol my grandpa had a 2nd gen explorer with lots broken and had 350k miles,still going strong when he traded it in for a new navigator 😂
I had a ford contour with the v6 and it had 263k miles, had 13 different codes, some transmission, engine, power steering, fuel, emissions, ect. had issues but i drove it on a 400 mile round trip without real issues. Have even droven it with only half a jug of coolant in it without overheating when it takes 2 jugs. I remember it once wouldnt shift out of 1st or second so i drove it 7 miles back home at 4600rpms, and it didnt get very hot, despite going up hill a 1/3 of the time
One of the cars my father owns is a year 2000 model ford falcon AU2 sedan that runs on LPG from the factory. It has done over 800,000km and still runs but is at the point where things are falling appart and probably at this point has almost no value.
Lawrence Lentini I drove a second gen explorer with a cracked exhaust manifold and a check engine light for over a year with no probs. It was a little loud, but that didn’t bother me. 😅
I like the new angle, Hoovie, trading for Wizard service and giving away cars to good homes. Keep it up!
Just the right call for the christmas season. Thanks Tyler, he seemed genuinely appreciative!
"Good guy hoovie buys a good condition luxury truck for 400 bucks. Gives it away for Christmas"
11:37 You can see he's trying not to cry of joy, he's really happy. 😃
Homes 4 Hoopties. A Hoovie chartiy.
This is a good idea to be honest. Plenty of “hoopties”, cars that run and drive fine, and people that can’t afford cars but do need them.
awwww, sniff sniff sniff..............................
Hoopties4Humanity
@@SoLDMG Quite a lot of people need a car for work reasons in dispersed areas where there is not much (or any) public transport. The problem is the jobs often don't pay well and many prospective carbuyers on a very tight budget just do not have the knowledge to know which old cars are a sensible choice, reliable and not going to bankrupt them. So yes, 'Homes for Hoopties' could be a very good idea indeed.
This is a charity we can all get behind. Too many people start charities for the “look at me” factor or to make money. This small act of kindness made a huge impact on someone’s life and kept a perfectly fine vehicle out of the crusher. Hoovie out there touching lives and saving the environment.
'I've never owned a Lincoln'
To be fair, nor have I coz I live in England, lovely gesture Mr Hoover.
Merry Christmas. 🎅🤶🎅🤶
saintfunny that's not a valid reason. I own one of the few in NL
@@070nino070 Yes but the steering wheel is on the wrong side....
*Takes cover!*
Holland is awesome.
saintfunny yeah but there’s a few yank tanks around innit?
Nice Alfa
@@vtecpreludevtec I saw a full size Bronco in Bangor, Northern Ireland, that was hilarious
Back glass is prone to failure. Expensive fix. Engine is rock solid. Trans is fine . Good rides. Nice top end . Set the cruise on 100 and get great mpg
Good man, spread the joy, feel the love. Merry Christmas to you Mr Hooptie, hope you have a good one.
Thats very true what he said, “ford will go down the road broken more than anything else”
I did literally buy a $400 Camry 3 days ago. Everything works, no rust, interior is a time capsule. Cheap cars are awesome. It does need a bit of repair, but for $400... its well worth it.
Nice truck, glad you didn’t murder it. Also glad someone who needs a decent vehicle got one.
10:00
I’m bout to cry 😭 ..
That was so nice.....
At the garage: Tyler.: “when I give him the keys, make sure you’re standing in front of the broken bumper and bug deflector!”
Wizard: “Sure thing”
Wizard: Orrrrrrrr, i could break out the duct tape
Just googled it, unpainted replacement part is $200, less from a wrecker where you might even find a color match.
He can sell his old truck for more than that. I wouldn't be complaining.
What I would be doing is dropping the oil, changing the air, fuel and oil filters and putting fresh oil in it, then getting on the phone to ring around some wreckers to find one that had been rear ended. Once I found one I'd probably go looking for a shop manual for my 'new' Lincon to see how to swap the bumper cover out.
"The Sarah McLaughlin of hoopties" - I spit my coffee all over my phone, thanks Tyler!
The dog close-up at the end cracked me up LOL
Good on you sir
I used to work in the Expedition and Navigator factory called Michigan Truck Plant. I worked as a prime sprayer. Theres a 50/50 chance I spray painted the inside of the door jams, the hood, and liftgate
Well i wish you had applied or sprayed more rust inhibitor on the rockers because rust through on these particular areas is common on the Navigator and Expedition. Also when was the production shifted from Wayne assembly to Louisville, Kentucky's truck plant??
This thing still has more equipment than some modern cars 😂
Like what?
@@po.russki My 2010 Yaris with crank windows and no power locks.
GoogleMinus lol same #yarisgang
I'm looking at you mirage
Po Russki heated and cooled seats.
What a great guy to give that SUV to that man. That's a guy with a huge heart.
Had one the exact color but 2002. I myself needed the room that the big guy needs. Awesome gift ! He is stoked !!
That was a very beautiful thing you did for that man. Made my day!
You always seemed like a genuinely nice guy this just sealed the deal. Great video!
I remember the first time I saw a Navigator back in 97-98 at a pharmacy, in black. Really sharp vehicle... Just spent much more on a set of tires yesterday.
You're a good man! That was very nice of you. Happy holidays to you and your family.
9:40 “Ford will go down the road with more wrong with it than any other vehicle out there”
Coined the term "Buiilt Ford Tough!"
Facts. Ford's got more lives than a cat
False. Everybody knows nothing runs as long as a rough running Chevy will
Johnny Stewart No it’s really only the group of chevy owners that think that...
NinevoltModz well those group of Chevy owners will make it home at night so no biggie here lol
I have a 2001 Lincoln Navigator for 19 years (American car) people talk bad about the American cars... let me told you that my BEAUTIFUL 2001 American car still runs like a champ with no problems on the engine or transmission... I LIVE IN AMERICA ..... I LOVE AND DRIVE ONLY AMERICAN CARS!!!
Hoovie I have a 98 Lincoln Navigator, still runs with 262k miles.
props for passing on that Christmas miracle onto someone in need!
I have a 2006 Mercury Mountaineer Premiere V8 AWD, and I love it, all leather seats heated, nav in dash, 3rd row, rear temp control, mine is set up as like a perfect dad overland vehicle. Great off road, great for towing up to 7klbs, and great to clean up and dress it up for a nice night out.
These were in need for speed underground 2. Somehow I allways chose these out of the 3 suv options
same dude
I loved it
The Escalade on the game has a lot of body roll, Hummer is not good handling and very slow, then there is the Navigator which is the best one out of them.
I love the navigator, i always chose it too
I loved this video! The smile on his face! Merry Christmas Hoovie!
Fun fact. When the Lincoln AVIATOR (built on Explorer platform) came out in 2004' it came with a 4.6 liter 302 horsepower V8. My wife has one and even with 175K' it is still a very nice SUV. Except for the roughly 12 MPG her heavy foot gets lol. But that road gripping AWD with all the buttons will haul ass in a hurry! Great vid!
I definitely like this one, it made my day. It always pays to be a blessing to others. Side note: He does remind me of John Candy...especially from Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
Awesome Tyler!!! That SUV is awesome that everything's WORKING!! The first hoopie you give away has nothing wrong with it!!!!
"In the arms of an angel" ran through my head when I saw his dog
Thats a really sad song. Makes me cry...
That's bad ass ! It's a great vehicle for Crazy D ! Merry Christmas !
I love my 1st Gen Expedition 5.4 - 2VALVE the best engine for long term service. I have 162K on mine and my sons Expy has 222K with all the work done to it and serviced properly and smooth! well done on the 1st Gen Navy.
Brilliant - well done Tyler, that is a really wonderful gesture
I love a happy ending. Merry Christmas!
it's a WONDERFUL LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I grew up in the back of one of these things and they hold a special place in my heart. Many beanie baby’s were hauled in that thing. We were a ford family. 2002 Nav, ford Taurus, 1997 mustang gt convertible)
"homes for hoopties" the new salvation army 😂😂
The Walmart plastic 3d decals on the fenders is the only thing wrong with it!🤣
Sebastian m 👴🏿👴🏿👴🏿
And the rear left wheel.
And that god awful steering wheel cover, it's got a natural wood wheel on it,
Can confirm, I've owned 1 expedition I put navigator panels on
Still driving my 2005 navigator. It has nearly 300k miles never garage kept I live in the north east, and the only rust was the panels( which was fixed by some welding). I also got rid of the air suspension (it went out) but I love it. I even have a new 2017 (well now used) navigator and I often find myself driving my older one more so than the newer one. (Mostly bc my son likes the drop down tv opposed to the head rest TV). But yeah old navigators still possesses more features than newer cars (no
Lie).
I will never own another SUV! Nothing ever beats a navigator
We must protect hoovie at all costs!! Haha love this channel!!!
"In Texas they will put a work trailer on that Nav, and put it to work mowing lawn's or etc."
My 03 expedition is running just enough to get me to work and back home everyday and it's broken with 223 thousand miles on it and needs front end work. No bs.
That was very Christmassy Tyler
Loved his face
No one ever got poor from giving - Anne Frank 🎄🎄🎄🙏🙏🙏🏴
It seems like it with all of these Christmas presents I'm buying lately.
@@tanmilne There's giving of the things that matter (which could be valuable advice or observations that won't cost us a thing but the guts to say them, not necessarily physical things), and there's giving tschochkes and garbage dust collectors that are useless and, hence, forgotten and thrown out.
My chosen family and I have agreed decades ago to give each other the the gift of not having to shop for each other at this time of year.
Harmonious Solstice to all! :-)!
In Europe you can barely get a used bike for that amount of money
In the U.K. used cars are often just a few hundred pounds.
As usual I enjoyed your video....You do excellent work. I have often wondered who was asked, or maybe how many people were asked, when it came to what lead manufactures to produce as many non 4X4 SUVs as they did/have. I, for example, learned the hard way, that while not perfect, four wheel drive works way better in some places than either two wheel or all wheel drive. So, since 1998 I have always owned at least one true 4X4 vehicle here in the "Sunny South" and currently BOTH of our trucks are 4X4s....If I or my wife find ourselves in a place or condition where 4X4 is needed we will have it on hand when that need arises (and it will). Without true 4X4 capability all one gets is a vehicle that is no more capable or comfortable than a well optioned minivan.
