Overview & Reviews

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.

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

  I could have done better! - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
  By backwards - January 27 - 10:00 am

  Interior less user friendly than earlier models. Dome lights dont shine where you need them to. Analog clock, now really...it could at least be readable. Flimsy console. Clumsy info center. Armrests gone! These are only the things that distract you from driving. Overall I think I could have presented a better design inside and outside. They took more steps backwards than they took forward.

  I think this car has a very good ride. It has a very powerful engine in its class. It has a good price then most European and Jappaness conpetitors. Good handiling has a nice interior trim. After a month theres been noise in the steering wheel.

  Solid SUV - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
  By kraff - January 10 - 10:00 am

  With the birth of our first child six months ago, our Inifinit G35 (which we loved) just wasnt cutting it in space department. My wife has always loved sports cars and was aghast at the idea of a Mini Van, so it had to be an SUV with as she says "a lot of bells and whistles". We drove all of the imports and domestics and found this to be the best for the money. Virtually all other vehicles had much more of a truck ride (including the imports suprisingly) while the independent rear suspension of the Aviator really makes for a solid ride. I race cars for fun and if there was an SUV racing class, Id start with this vehicle.

  UNHAPPY WITH 2004 AVIATOR - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
  By odalys - January 5 - 3:46 pm

  Ive had the car for almost 6 yrs. This is the 3rd time that the applique on the back of car has cracked. Also, my extended warranty just expired. Now car is at dealer with oil leak and thermostat problem. In the past had to have transmission repaired, the driving gear fixed. Air conditioner problems. Not happy right now. Third row is useless. Small space. Also when third row up, now trunk space. Have 3 kids so its a problem, because not roomy.

  Whistles at speeds 60+ mph - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
  By Friscodad - December 15 - 10:00 am

  Great ride, handling and power. Expect it to drink more. What do you expect from 300 horses? It needs to drink. It whistles at speeds over 60 MPH. This is common amongst all models and is a design and manufactures defect. Lincoln needs to recognize it and make good on some modifcations and repairs. Back door jams against the front door. Another defect and common design flaw amongst these models.

  I HATE THIS VEHICLE - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
  By ihatelincoln - December 9 - 2:40 pm

  Purchased this vehicle used about a year and a half ago. Never really liked it but it was in our price range and had all the amenitied that we required. We owned a Chevy Tahoe prior to this but it did not have a 3rd row seat which is what we needed. Here are the things that I dispise about this car. 1. Even though we have owned this vehicle for over a year still cant get used to the window controls in the center console and the seat controls on the door 2. Even though weve owned this vehicle for over a year still havent gotten used the fact that is doesnt automatically unlock all the doors when you turn it off, I curse this vehicle everyday for this very reason!!!!!!!!!!!

  Almost got it right - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
  By Too Bad - December 3 - 2:00 am

  This is a great vehicle unless you live in the cold North. The heater does not work right because the ducting is designed wrong. Chest freezes and legs roast. Dealer and Field Service engineers confirm the problem and say there is no fix. Factory supposed to be working on it, but no date on when it will be ready to offer fix to consumers. Blows cold air out side window defrosters after cabin warms up.

  Great, ----- but, - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
  By LWD - August 22 - 6:56 am

  Looks wonderful, better than my last two Navigators which I loved. Drives great, much better than my last two Naavigators. Build quality???? So far, a dissappointment. My dealer has been wonderful in quality and timely warranty repair, but too much has needed repair. 5,000 miles and needed: new differential, new radio, 3 trim pieces, and the front brake discs were warped, and drivers seat has a little slop in the track. All is well now, but - - - Not a great start.
