The bling crowd may have dumped the Navigator like a jilted lover in favor of the edgy Cadillac Escalade, but that hasn't stopped Lincoln from doing its best to win them back. Witness the black metallic "monotone" appearance package and 18-inch chrome wheel-equipped 2005 Navigator.

The truck looks ready for its scene in a rap music video, but it is still qualified for country club duty. The power-operated running boards leap into place to assist the most petite pilot in ascending to her perch atop the mighty Navigator, though for those of us with adult male-length legs, the running boards serve only to obstruct the route into and out of the driver's seat.
