I was very surprised with its power and fuel mileage and I'm curious at how well it will tow a boat up and down steep hills because I'm considering getting a small 18' pontoon boat I'm wondering if it can muster it and Lincoln SUVs are the best and are really reliable and i just got my aviator but last year I had the privilege to own my very first Lincoln and I have always wanted an SUV and 4x4 and a Lincoln and I ended up knocking all out with one stone I had a 1999 navigator which was totaled out 9months later I got t-boned by a 21year old and now I have my aviator it's been a blessing from God to have an other Lincoln they are worth it and I walked away from rolling 3 times they are the best it's been a good vehicle very reliable I've had it almost 4 years now small minor complaints nothing big thank God October 11 2019 the engine blew up after 256k miles it was really reliable truck it lasted from 130k miles and died at 256k miles and 5 3/4 years

We were in the market for an SUV with 3rd row seating. If this is you, do yourself a favor and test drive this SUV. You'll understand why most limo's are Licoln's - it's all about the ride and this SUV delivers.

Shake and rattle

The day after I took delivery of this vehicle was in the shop. It has been in the shop on 6 different occasions for over 30 days. There is a vibration throughout the drivetrain including the steering wheel which manifest itself by shaking when driving down the road. It is noticed by noise and feel. Ford says that all Avaitors are this way so be aware. If you feel your hand shaking or hear vibrations it is not in your head. Other problems include oil, leaks tire sensor failures and bad tires.

I bought my aviator used it had 22,000 miles. I love it. No big problems. Replaced a coil after 106,000 miles. The dash board lights some times go on & off, but easy to deal with.
