This Year's Model Updates:

Lincoln changes the name of the Aviator's high-line trim level from Premium to Ultimate. More substantive improvements include the addition of Roll Stability Control to the optional AdvanceTrac stability system to ward off rollover incidents during panic maneuvers. The previously optional tire-pressure monitoring system is now standard. Additionally, dealer-installed Sirius Satellite Radio is available on Ultimate and Luxury models equipped with the optional Audiophile stereo.

Pros:
Cons:
  • Interior lacks the rock solid build quality of equivalently priced luxury SUVs, engine noise intrusive at high rpm.

    I have had 2 explorer over the last 8 years. My last one was an Eddie Bauer. Then I saw the Aviator. Ford cant even come close. Best ride,gorgeous inside and out. Easy in and out. I will only drive Lincoln from now on. I drive 30,000 miles a year in Northern New England, and Aviator can handle anything I throw at it! Comfort all the way, handles like a dream!

  • Too bad 2 - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Nice vehicle, but multiple small problems which have taken several visits per problem to resolve. In cold climate, the climate control system is horrendous. When heating, blows cold air on side windows and windshield and very warm air at feet. Makes for very uncomfortable passenger compartment, and also difficult to keep windows defrosted. This results in safety concern. Lincoln says this is "normal" and "within spec". Customer service after the sale is horrible, and dont expect anything when you call the Customer Service Center. Too bad for such an expensive vehicle.

  • I Love My Aviator - 2004 Lincoln Aviator

    I love my Aviator, I have 3 children, ages 1, 3, and 6. There could be better cupholders, and maybe a console in the third row but other than that, we all love it.

  • ENGINE TROUBLE ALREADY - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    I have owned my Aviator for nearly six months and have taken it to the shop four times. When I bought it there was black glue on the headliner, it was replaced but now I am stuck with fingerprints all over it. The rainguards were installed improperly, they replaced them now they are falling off again. Now the vehicle is in the shop because it overheated to the point that I couldnt drive it and I was stranded by the side of the highway. For the price that I paid for the vehicle none of these problems should have happened in the first six months of ownership. Very unhappy.

  • Excellent vehicle - 2004 Lincoln Aviator

    This vehicle is well equiped, very responsive, fun to drive, and comfortable.

  • Best SUV I Have Driven - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Having leased two Mountaineers, in the recent past, the Aviator is a huge step up in terms of luxury, performance, ride, and overall enjoyment. Recently dropped into my dealership for an oil change on my Mercury Monterey, saw a white, loaded, Aviator on the showroom floor . . . turned in my Lincoln LS (leased) a couple of months early and drove away in the Aviator. No regrets, really love the vehicle.

  • Awesome SUV - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Great overall vehicle. Smooth ride. Love the navigation system and the sound system. The DVD package is great for kids. Great towing vehicle. Rides like a car, not a truck... but when you need a truck for pulling boat- you can rely on this vehicle.
