Anyone Picked up 03 Navi or Expy yet?

Does anyone have a 2003?
Hey, do any of you members/readers have a 2003 Expy or Navi yet?

The locla tire folks (Discount Tire and others) Advised me that Ford kept a tight lid on teh fact that they were changing the bolt pattern, and what the new bolt-pattern would be, so it'll be a while before there are aftermarket wheels for them (Stupid move on Ford's part).

Anyhoo, does any one have any pics that would contradict what I have been told? I can't wait to see A Navi Luxury sitting on some 22" Giovanni Anzio's!

Dayum- I guess not

Post has been up here 5 days, no hits....

I guess no one has one- I've seen two, and they were on the Interstate. None in the city, which tells me one thing....

Those must've been Explorers------

They look bigger now. As big as the Expy unless an Expy is parked next to it.

It's an illusion-----

Spotted!

2003 Navigator on the Road (Actually at the post office) in Plano, TX.

Still o-fer, with regard to seeing a 2003 Expy, other than at a dealership. They hit the lots in Richardson on May 16, 2002, I test drove one on May 24, 2002.

Still nothing on the streets.

I'm going to test drive the Navigator this weekend.

I've seen a couple of '03's around Houston. Kinda hard to spot because of similarities to the Explorer.

I've been driving my '03 4x4 XLT Premium for about 2 1/2 weeks. I replaced my '98 4x4 XLT with it. It's a great truck! The ride (due to the IRS) is improved. The rear seat is the biggest improvement. I love not having to carry that beast around anymore. Some of the interior changes are better some are not.

Get one - I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I picked up my '03 last night. I couldn't be happier with it. Handles incredibly well for its size, the 5.4 feels great, and the DVD players is awesome. Everything is new and improved. Great buy!

i counted today....
there are 9 of the 03s sitting on the lot at JoeMyers Ford in Jersey Village here in Houston.
I am starting to see them on the street.
There is another thread that has the bolt pattern on it.
Enjoy.

2 New 03 Navi's-

Well true believers,
I have seen my 2nd 03 Navigator on the streets of Dallas. I still haven't seen an 03 Expy (Other than on the interstate once), but, what was stunning, is that the one I saw yesterday-

"WAS COMPLETELY OFF THE HOOK!!"


It was black (As all Cold Navi's & Expy's are) and surprisingly, it had some 22" split 5-spoke chromed wheels on it. I think we have a winner.

I was just at the Lincoln Dealership on the saturday before Memorial Day. They told me that no aftermarket wheel manufacturer had rims for it because Ford didn't release the bolt pattern until the vehicle got released. (Someone must've been doing their homework)

It was awsome- it looks good sitting still, and looked even better as it slowed to a stop (Wheels glistening)

If you have the means, I suggest picking one up... I'm going to have to wait, but I'm counting the days!

Ford/Lincoln- Well done. (I'm still pi$$ed that you changed the bolt-pattern though)
