2004 Lincoln Aviator consumer reviews

Got one two years ago. Love it. Paid. $200. Guy was going to put it in the bone yard. I got it. Put a few bills in it. Nice.

Luxury SUV Seats 6 comfortably. Heated/cold seats are amazing. Adjustable gas/brake pedals. Fully retractable moon/sun roof. ALL the perks in this one. Great family car. Premium sound made for fun road trips!

I own a rare 2004 Lincoln Aviator CS (California Edition) that I bought used with 45k in 2017 and have been very happy with the purchase. It is near perfect with a few things that could be improved. Pros: Great interior and exterior styling...I think it looks better than many current SUVs on the market. Roof rails, chrome steps, heated/cooled seats, rear DVD player, rear side airbags, are some higlights. It’s not built on a unibody so it can tow more and is beefier. Very smooth ride (Lincoln trait), and the V8 is from the Mustang Bulitt. It has been reliable and performs well for an H-frame truck. Oil guard to protect undercarriage and prevent spray (now that’s luxury : ) not found on the same era Explorers. Footwell and puddle lights. (CS) Dual Borla exhaust. Seats 7; Wood grip on steering wheel; sturdier suspension than Explorer; Reliable thus far! Some Cons: Could have better MPG but better than the Navigator. Safety relay can get stuck to release shifter from Park normally when brake pedal is depressed; I just disabled it. Transmission must be babied but with a good additive and an extra second pause between PR and D, or a solenoid changeout, the first sign of hard shifting, the transmission is good and if its like my Explorer, will last a long time. The same passenger side speaker like my Explorer goes out but can be easily replaced. All in all, this is one of the best vehicles I have ever purchased! I really enjoy driving it!

Has been a very reliable car. Plenty of room. I live on a small island and it is perfect to take the family and the pedal boards to the beach. Has great air condition in the front and the rear and the children always enjoyed being able to function the radio from the second seat.

I got it used with low mileage. Great value compared to new. You can pick these up for under $5,000. The only downside is gas mileage. But I can put a lot of gas in it to make up for the huge savings.

Beautiful luxurious vehicle. Our car salesman Garrett from pristine cars was very accommodating and professional.

Aviator gave me the step up from my Explorer experience I was looking for in a used SUV. No problem there! However, after three years and 30,000 more miles, this ride is looking a little prematurely outdated. I have to admit a similar year Explorer Limited or Eddie Bauer if far more handsome even now in 2017. Front end suspension rotted out and parts were a challenge to find now. The limited 3 year run of this model is now a drawback. Premium fuel is a drawback; Ford should have engineered without that requirement. Shifter problems: read blogs on this noted defect for all Aviators. Over-rated V8 in my opinion, Ford's 4.0 V6 just as good. Fair resale value, but not a workhorse lux truck that is worthy of continually investing in ongoing repairs after 130k miles.

I owned cars from all 3 big American manufacturers in the last 25 years. I had 3 Fords, 5 GMs and one Chrysler product. This one is by far the most luxurious, comfortable and well-built car I had. I bought it used with 70k miles. IT is now at 101k and running like a champ. It is a shame that Ford decided not to make them anymore.

I am very happy with this SUV! I was pleasantly surprised at the ease and stability in its handling; its interior is very comfortable, even with the wear it has sustained; and overall I have found it a real joy to drive.

Great car for the price I'm happy with my purchase low miles so it's like a new car to me :) This is a great place if your looking for a car
