LINCOLN NAVIGATOR CURB WEIGHT | All Model Years
As a Lincoln retailer that services Navigators every day, we're often asked a deceptively simple question: "How much does it weigh?" Curb weight varies by wheelbase (standard vs. L) and drivetrain (4x2 vs. 4x4), and it has changed across generations. Below, we summarize curb weights from the newest models back to the first Navigator, grouping years that share the same published figures so you can quickly find what applies to your SUV or the one you're considering. For reference, "curb weight" is the vehicle's weight with standard equipment and a full tank of fuel, but without passengers or cargo.
2025 Lincoln Navigator
For the all-new fifth-generation 2025 Navigator, Lincoln's technical specifications list base curb weights of 5,929 lbs for the standard-wheelbase Navigator and 6,044 lbs for the extended Navigator L. If you want a quick rule of thumb for this generation: start at ~5,930 lbs and add ~115 lbs for the L model.
2018-2024 Lincoln Navigator (same weights across these years)
The previous (fourth) generation carried the same published curb-weight figures across its run, which makes this an easy group. Base curb weight ranged from 5,685 lbs (4x2) to 5,855 lbs (4x4) for the standard Navigator, and from 5,926 lbs (4x2) to 6,056 lbs (4x4) for Navigator L. A 2024 model you see on the road will fall within those same numbers.
2015-2017 Lincoln Navigator
During the 2015 refresh (still third generation), most standard-wheelbase models land around the mid-5,800-lb mark, while long-wheelbase models climb into the low-6,300s. Typical published examples: 2015 Navigator standard at about 5,830 lbs and 2015 Navigator L around 6,297 lbs, with 4WD builds trending higher. If you're comparing late-run third-gen SUVs, use ~5,8xx-6,3xx lbs as a practical range depending on wheelbase and drivetrain.
2007-2014 Lincoln Navigator
The third generation launched for 2007 and is notably heavier than the 2015-2017 EcoBoost refresh on some configurations. Published ranges for this era are 5,780-5,986 lbs for standard-wheelbase Navigators and 6,031-6,239 lbs for L models; individual model-year listings corroborate the ballpark (e.g., 2007 SWB at 5,872 lbs; 2007 L at 5,963 lbs). If you're cross-shopping earlier third-gen SUVs, expect weights to begin near 5,800 lbs and rise with 4WD and added equipment.
2003-2006 Lincoln Navigator
The second generation introduced in 2003 arrived with a higher base curb weight than the first gen-about 5,760 lbs for 2WD and nearly 6,000 lbs for 4WD at launch-before a 2005 update trimmed mass to roughly 5,555 lbs (2WD) and 5,842 lbs (4WD). Real-world listings from this era commonly show curb weights in the high-5,700s to just under 6,000 lbs, depending on drivetrain and equipment.
1998-2002 Lincoln Navigator
First-generation Navigators typically sit in the mid-5,300s to mid-5,500s. Representative specs include a 2001 model at about 5,396 lbs and a 1999 model listed at roughly 5,557 lbs; 2000 model data commonly shows ~5,390 lbs. Variations here mainly track with 4x2 vs. 4x4 and options. If you're assessing an early Navigator, a working estimate in the 5,4xx-5,5xx-lb band will be close for most builds you'll encounter.
How to use these numbers
Curb weight influences payload, towing headroom, and even braking and tire choices. If you tow or load the cargo area frequently, consult your specific door-jamb label and owner's manual for GVWR/GAWR and tire load ratings in addition to curb weight. We're happy to decode the sticker on your Navigator and match it with tires, brakes, and maintenance intervals that suit how you actually use the vehicle.
Conclusion
From the newest 2025 redesign to the original 1998 models, the Navigator has always been a full-size luxury SUV with full-size mass. In practical terms, modern fifth-gen models cluster around ~5,930-6,040 lbs, the 2018-2024 run keeps to the same published ranges year-to-year, and earlier generations span roughly the mid-5,300s to just over 6,000 lbs depending on wheelbase and drivetrain.
