Can't beat simplicity.
If only the rear hubs were reliable.

Honestly, the front hubs went more than the rear hubs from what I recall. My 2002 Explorer, I bought it with 67K and sold it with 212K and ate only one rear hub (which I do have pictures of somewhere and damn, it was bad). I think I changed my fronts out 3 times in the 10 years I had it.
15 years in the family? That's pretty awesome and still very clean!
Compare it to a new one.
I am glad Lincoln is back to make real luxury. Waiting on the Mark 9 now.
Just traded in the wifes escalade esv (2 DOD issues, which caused cams/lifters to go bad in less than a year) on a 2018 Navigator L. I thought the escalade was the king of big SUV's and boy was I wrong!

The Navigator was the first big lux SUV that set the trend and GM followed, just like with everything GM does following Ford.
Beautiful, and congrats. Im guessing after what happened you did not trust the gmc
Not at all...when the DOD went bad the first time they had our car for nearly a month. We were told there was over 40 escalades with the same issues waiting on parts. It's a shame, because I would get dam near 26mpg on the highway, fully loaded, 5 kids/wife/luggage. I hope they figure out how to fix it.
DOD/AFM is garbage. All these years these pushrod engines have had it and they have yet to bulletproof the system. Last I read it gave the user a 3-5% gain in MPG...
I know certain Dodge/Ram/Jeep vehicles you can turn it off but with Chevy I think only a tune can turn it off.
Genius way for them to get service work though.
Not sure about the Mopar version, but the GM one has some mechanical issues. @Livernois Motorsports has a kit to delete it.

Agreed! Most DOD/AFM systems have too many components that can, and most times will fail.
On a side note @ArabianOak, if you ever want to tune that Navigator we have tuning options for it. They pick up really well with just a tune and 93 octane.
Somebody done messed up then, because one has been eating the dust of the other for 20 yrs.
how much? Lol. Also, is warranty gone with your tune?
