The Lincoln Navigator was introduced into Lincoln’s lineup as a full-size luxury SUV in 2002 and remains available through today. The Navigator is known for its unique styling and for having the features consumers expect from SUVs, including towing. But what is the towing capacity of a Lincoln Navigator?
The Lincoln Navigator has a towing capacity of up to 9,000 pounds depending on the year, if it is 2WD or 4WD, engine size, axle ratio, and if it has an HD cooling package.

Here’s a video showing the Lincoln Navigator being put to a real-world towing test:
All vehicles have different towing capacities based on whether or not you’re towing a trailer that has trailer brakes installed.
Trailer brakes allow the trailer to stop faster than if only the vehicle is using its brakes, allowing the vehicle to tow more weight, so braked towing capacity will always be higher than unbraked towing capacity.
Lincoln Navigator Braked Towing Capacity: up to 3,500 lbs.
Lincoln Navigator Unbraked Towing Capacity: 1,653 lbs / 750 kg
There are a few factors that affect the Lincoln Navigator tow capacity.
Model Year
The Navigator’s tow capability varied a lot by year and generation.
Varying model years of the Navigator had a max towing capability ranging from 6,000 lbs to 9,000 lbs.
Axle Ratio
The greater the axle ratio, the more towing power the Navigator had. This is not true for all model years, but this played a factor in the earlier model years.
2WD vs 4WD
Whether or not your Navigator was 4×2 or 4×4 also affected how much it can tow.
4×2 Navigators typically had greater towing power than the 4×4 versions.
Towing Equipment
For many years of the Navigator, Lincoln offered an optional heavy-duty towing package. Having this package can mean up to 3,000 additional pounds of towing power based on the year!
Additionally, some years had the option of choosing a standard hitch or a weight distribution hitch, with the weight distribution hitch increasing the Navigator’s towing capacity by several thousand pounds.
Number of Passengers
A big factor in calculating your vehicle’s towing capacity is how many passengers you’re carrying, which directly calculates into the vehicle’s GCWR.
This is true of all vehicles, not just the Lincoln Navigator, so always take into consideration the total load of your passengers and gear in addition to what you’re towing.
Lincoln offers two towing packages for the Navigator: the standard towing package and the Class IV Heavy-Duty Trailer Towing Package (option code 536).
- 7-Wire Harness
- 4/7 Pin Connector
- Trailer Sway Control
- Smart Trailer Tow
- 7-Wire Harness

The Lincoln Navigator has two factory-installed trailer hitch options: a weight-carrying hitch that can pull up to 6,000 pounds on the Navigator and Navigator L, and a weight-distributing hitch that can pull up to 8,700 pounds on the Navigator and up to 8,400 pounds on the Navigator L.
If you plan on towing anything with your Lincoln Navigator, you’ll need a tow hitch and wiring harness.
Depending on what you’re towing, you’re going to need a ball mount (aka a trailer ball hitch) so you can attach items for towing.
Make sure to get the right trailer ball size that matches your hitch and trailer.
Trailer hitches come in different hitch classes, which are rated for different vehicle sizes and weight limits.
The Lincoln Navigator uses a Class 3 or Class 4 hitch.
Here’s a great option for a Class III Lincoln Navigator trailer hitch:
- DEPENDABLE STRENGTH. This trailer hitch is rated for 5,000 lbs. gross trailer weight, 500 lbs. tongue weight, 7,500 lbs. weight distribution capacity and 750 lbs. weight distribution tongue weight (limited to lowest-rated towing component)
- VERSATILE DESIGN. This class 3 hitch equips your vehicle with a standard 2-inch x 2-inch hitch receiver, allowing for a wide variety of towing options. It can accept a ball mount, cargo carrier, bike rack, tow hook and much more
- FULLY TESTED. Every CURT class 3 trailer hitch design is tested in real-world, on-vehicle conditions at our Detroit engineering facility. Aftermarket hitches are tested according to SAE J684 standards for the utmost safety while hauling
- RUST, CHIP, UV-RESISTANT. This tow hitch is protected with a unique dual-coat finish of rust-resistant liquid A-coat and highly durable black powder coat. The two finishes are co-cured together for exceptional resistance to rust, chipping and UV rays
- EASY TO INSTALL. This hitch offers a custom, factory fit on select model years of the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator
Here’s a great ball mount option so you can hook up different types of trailers for towing with your Navigator:
- DEPENDABLE STRENGTH. Rated to tow 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight, this ball hitch offers dependability for your towing setup (weight capacity may change if trailer ball is removed)
- VERSATILE USE. This trailer hitch ball mount comes with a 1-1/4-inch shank to fit virtually any industry-standard 1-1/4-inch receiver. The ball mount has a 3-1/4-inch drop, 2-inch diameter ball, 1/2-inch hitch pin hole and 7-1/4-inch overall length
- READY TO TOW. Hitching up your trailer is easy with this ready-to-use trailer hitch ball mount. It comes with a pre-attached tow ball for ready coupling and a trailer hitch pin to securely mount onto your hitch receiver
- CORROSION-RESISTANT. For long-lasting use, this ball hitch is protected with a durable black powder coat finish, and the trailer ball has a polished chrome plating. These finishes resist damage from rain, dirt, road salt and other corrosive threats
- EASY TO INSTALL. To install the trailer hitch ball mount on your vehicle, simply insert the shank into your vehicle's 1-1/4-inch hitch receiver. The rounded shank makes installation easy
Always follow the manufacturer’s directions and use proper safety precautions when installing a tow hitch on your Navigator.
If you’re considering having a tow hitch added to your Navigator, expect to pay between $100 and $200 to have a tow package professionally installed (excluding the cost of the tow hitch and wiring harness).
If you’re handy and looking to save money, you can install the trailer hitch and wiring harness yourself.
Hitch Receiver Vs Rear Step Bumper Towing
Some vehicles allow for bumper towing, which means you can mount a tow hitch ball directly on the bumper instead of installing a tow hitch to the vehicle’s frame.
The Lincoln Navigator stock bumper is not rated for bumper towing, so you’ll need to install a frame-mounted hitch like the one we listed earlier in this guide or an aftermarket bumper with a hitch ball on it.
You can start by looking under the rear bumper of your Navigator to see if you notice a trailer hitch or trailer ball.
That will give you a good indication of if you have a tow hitch already installed on your Navigator.
Another way to research this is by checking the paperwork that came with your vehicle or taking it to a local dealer to see what’s installed.
Make sure to have your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) handy if you call the dealer so they can look up the exact specs and whether or not your vehicle has any towing packages or features installed on it.
