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.

  • Arctic test - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    6200 miles since Dec 1 mostly during harsh,cold(-50F)rough road trips. This vehicle handles OK on ice & snow,tracks well & stops better than 2003 4Runner. But it rides rough at -20 and below, maybe due to monotube shocks and tires. Had the drivers heated seat go out; replaced unitis intermittent.Great power going through the mountains.Leg and hip room are a little tight in the cockpit. Instruments are well lit, easy to read,and laid out smart. The tranny is smooth; accelerates on demand. Leg room in the 2nd row quad chairs is lacking; on an 800 mile/23hr roundtrip hr 1 passenger was so uncomfortable he had to crawl into the rear benchseat to stretch out;2nd row needs to move back 3 inches!

  • Town Car to Avaitor SUV - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Extremely pleased with vehicle. My wife & I both have some health issues and the entry and exit are easy for us both. Wife has driven Lincoln Town cars for years, but this unit has quickly become her favorite. Fits well in the garage, handles great, plenty of power, and its more comfortable than the 2000 Town car we traded for this SUV. We havent taken any trips yet, but are looking forward to doing a 500 mile trip soon. I had wanted a Navigator, but the size was too large for us. Without a doubt, this is the best vehicle we have owned.

  • I love it - 2004 Lincoln Aviator

    My Mercedes ML 500 was stolen, and my 2003 Lincoln LS was a lemon so I had the chance to get into the Aviator. I am so so happy!!!! It is the coolest SUV ever and not to big either. Mine has everything and it just rocks!!!

  • I will never buy a lincoln again - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    I bought this vehicle brand new in Oct 2004. When I bought it I was impressed with the styling more then anything else, but that quickly faded when the mechanical problems started soon after. I kept up on all required maintenance since I bought it. The problems started early on. From the climate control to the spark plug coils going out on me continuously. The gear shift leaver broke when I was putting it into park from drive. On the back tail gate there is a crack right below the back widow. I was told that it is a trend on these vehicles. I will never own another Ford/Lincoln product as long as I live. After all said and done, the dealership goes out of business. How ironic is that

  • good truck, bad on gas - 2004 Lincoln Aviator

    bad gass milage, but great truck.

  • 2004 Aviator Luxury - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    This is a very capable, luxurious and performance oriented SUV. Fit and finish is top notch and dealer service has been outstanding. Fuel economy is about what I expected (About 14 City and 21 highway) for a vehicle of this size.

  • great car - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    I had always driven a BMW 528i - what a change! I love how this car handles and how much room we have. Gas milage is ok, but what can you do.

  • I LOVE the Aviator!!! - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    I bought the 2004 Aviator brand new, almost 9 years ago. It has been the most reliable of any car Ive ever had (and Ive had many). It feels luxurious on the inside, even after all of this time. Lincoln got the fit/finish on this one right. It has been such a gem to own. I will drive it until it dies. I really wish Lincoln still made them. I would buy another after this one is done. Thats how much I love it. Ive owned many other SUVs and never had one this dreamy and reliable. Cant say enough good stuff about it.

  • Aviator - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Purchased in October 2003, now have 3500 miles on it. So far this has been the best vehicle I have owned. Ive owned 3 Cadillacs, Explorer, Saab, and this has out performed all of them. Compared Acura MDX, Infinity, Explorer, and Lexus before deciding on the Aviator. Not one quality issue yet. I would highly recommend this Lincoln to anyone.
