Overview & Reviews

The AdvanceTrac stability control system is now standard and includes a new Roll Stability Control feature. The model lineup has been pared down to one well-equipped trim with separate option packages for those who want additional luxury features. Seventeen-inch alloy wheels are now standard, and there is a new chrome grille surround and slots.

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

  Last Car - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
  By Ricverde - June 15 - 7:56 am

  Im getting on in years so this will probably be my last car purchased. I absolutely love the vehicle! The ride is smooth, visibility great, and handling precise. The gas mileage isnt too hot, but I knew it wouldnt be before I bought the Aviator. The black beauty has drawn admiring looks and positive comments from passers-by in parking lots, which sure helps me feel good about spending the money for a vehicle I probably really didnt need.

  Perfect SUV - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
  By BG Bob - May 13 - 12:06 pm

  The best way to describe our Aviator AWD with the elite package is an entertainment delight with a great smooth ride. The touch screen GPS and sound system is easy to use. Perfect SUV for short or long trips and easy parking.

  Awesome SUV! I love this car! - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
  By jd1017 - March 5 - 12:53 am

  Ive read a lot of the comments concerning the 2003 AWD Aviator and feel very fortunate. I havent experienced anything but pleasure from this SUV, the power and comfort is second to none. Im in sales and stop start this car ten plus times a day, no troubles. The rear hatch surrounding the glass did split, fiberglass fracture is what the dealship referred to it as. They replaced it, out of warranty, free of charge. So far with over 50,000 miles on the vehicle I really cant complain about anything! I still think this is the best bang for the buck!

  This is luxury??? - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
  By Mandi Rinard - January 27 - 4:46 pm

  This car has been a lot of trouble. Every time I start to like it again something else breaks. We have had problems with the windows rolling down half the time they dont work; neither does the radio or the keyless entry. We have had the gear shift replaced. The car is very noisy on the road. Seatbelt housing makes a lot of noise and back window squeaks all the time!!! The blower fan on the AC had to be replaced and the heated and AC seats quit working. The panel on the rear window cracked too. For the most part I would like to run this car into a wall most of the time.

  14-18 mpg is honest - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
  By driver - November 7 - 7:50 pm

  The 2005 Lincoln Aviator is easy to drive and they have thought of almost every amenity to make driving comfortable from heated/cooled seats and zoned climate controls to all radio and cruise contols on the steering wheel. The sensors in the rear bumper are a plus for me since this is the first non sedan type for me. I havent owned it long enough to have an opinion about the build quality or reliabilty. My average is 15 mpg and I have driven 3,000 miles (1/2 city and 1/2 highway). Lincoln indicates 14-18 mpg which is true. I make trips to the airport often and it has plenty of room for 4 engineers and their gear plus me the driver.

  heater problems - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
  By joel - November 5 - 6:16 pm

  In very cold weather the side window defroster malfunctions. It sends a stream of cold air. Lincoln is familiar with problem and is not willing to fix. As a result of problem front seat riders have a constant stream of cold air in their face! This is an obvious defect that may be a problem in other Lincoln products.

  Lincoln Aviator - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
  By Herb - October 5 - 10:26 am

  So far, and except for the poor gas mileage, a great SUV! Plenty of power. Drives better than any other SUV that I have driven. Drives like a luxury car, but has plenty of room.

  Surprised - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
  By Eric - July 17 - 8:56 pm

  I have been one to always buy sports cars but with the pending arrival of my son i thought it would be more practical to look at an SUV. I love my Aviator. I got the Jet Black loaded one and love it. Highly recommed it. Only downside is the gas mileage. So far i am averaging 12 mpg in the city. hope it gets better. My navigator gets 13 to 14.

  A/C Compressor - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
  By David Craik - June 19 - 8:50 pm

  "Grinding noise" when A/C turned on (hot or cold) FOMOCO states this is normal. NO FIX DESIGN FAULT aka DEFECTIVE. FOMOCO says its happening on all Explorer size vehicles. Not true, dont believe it! Only occurs on 03 & 04 Lincoln Aviator units. Considering Class Action Suite
