Seventeen-inch alloy wheels are now standard, and there is a new chrome grille surround and slots.

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

  • Dream suv - 2005 Lincoln Aviator

    Outstanding except for gas mileage but well worth it no other complaint!

  • Nice vehicle - 2005 Lincoln Aviator

    I replaced my Lexus with an Aviator 3 years ago. It only had 10K miles on it. Besides general mte. have replaced rear brakes and tires. Rear window panel cracked 2 yrs ago and was replaced under warranty. Has now cracked again (not under warranty). Dealership told me that Lincoln was aware of this problem but was not helping with replacement anymore. Was told yesterday (at 56K miles) that water pump was leaking. My husband likes this vehicle better than I do. But I drive it 95% of this time. I consistently get 17 mpg on a combo of city/highway driving. When my husband drives it the mpg goes down because he has a lead foot and loves "floor it" after a stop.

  • Lots of miles best SUV yet! - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Bought this to replace an Explorer - my fourth- and there is no comparison....no front end issues original tires went 67,000 miles, brakes went 76,000 miles no warranty work, just regular maintenance. Beats the Explorer hands down. Ready to trade in Feb but they are changing it so where do I go now?

  • Aviator...Worst Car Ever Built - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    This is the worst car ever built! Ford used cheap Korean bearings that disintegrate as soon as your car goes out of warranty. Amazing at how well Ford could time this. Nothing but a mechanical, electrical nightmare that has almost killed my family twice. Ford should do the right thing and recall all aviators.

  • Excellent - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    I am enjoying my Aviator with its excellent road handling and smooth ride and performance, I previously owned two Jeep Grand Cherokee and have numerous problems and expensive repairs. If you are looking for an SUV with performance and comfort and you do not mind the extra bucks for a thirsty engine. Then this is the SUV for you.

  • Electrical Problems - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Not one thing electrical on this vehicle has not broken down. Sound system, Reverse warning system, Navigation System, Heat, Air, Windows have all malfunctioned. Currently looking to bring in again for another heating problem. Also, vehicle is very loud. Vehicle also takes forever to heat up or cool down inside. Seat warmers take at least 10 minutes to start working. SUV also has leaking problems in the back due to poor craftmanship.

  • Love my SUVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV - 2005 Lincoln Aviator

    We love our 2005 Lincoln Aviator. The mileage could be better,but we knew we were getting into a V8 performance. We searched for over a year for the perfect SUV for our family. We are so glad we found this one.

  • 2003 aviator - 48000 miles. Nice SUV - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    2003 Aviator owned for 2 years. Have 48,000 miles. Minimal problems (broken light wire problem prevented shifting out of park). Otherwise, a very reliable vehilce. Fun to drive, lots of power and acceleration, Plush interior, but the console plastic/finish should be higher quality. Mine is loaded with Navigation, DVD, etc. For the small amount of warranty work performed the dealer has been very helpful.

  • Absolutely wonderful! - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    I have only had the car for a few days now, but I am sorry that I didnt purchase it sooner. I already had an SUV and wanted to get something newer with less mileage. I can honestly say that I think I made the perfect choice. It is extremely comfortable, the V8 has more power than a lot of sports cars and SUVs, and to beat all, you cant beat the value!!! I echo the sentiments of another reviewer - it should have never been taken off the market. My suggestion: if you are looking for an SUV for comfort, reliability, and ultimate luxury, look no further than the Lincoln Aviator!
