Lincoln Aviator anyone?

[Mach1E]

Not really competing for the Mach E, but thinking of replacing my wife’s Flex with a 2022 Lincoln Aviator reserve rwd.

Just wanted to hear anyone’s experience with them before we pull the trigger. Test drove an X5 today, looked at a Q7 and Q8 and then the Aviator and she liked that one the best.

Dealer has a cancelled order coming in this week and the specs are about what we would possibly order.

Most interested to hear if anyone has driven the rwd model. We are in Florida so snow isn’t an issue. Just curious how 400 hp and rwd mix in the Aviator.

Not sure if this helps, but we drove the Nautilus for several years and just purchased a Corsair . . . love them both. Very smooth/stable and quiet ride, rich interiors, decent power. Never had a quality issue, we have been very happy with Lincoln (this coming from someone who has owned BMW, Lexus, Infinity, and Alfa Romeo). By the way, we also owned two Flex models (which we enjoyed) . . . Lincoln is a nice upgrade from that.

I have been interested in the Grand Touring model because it is a PEV with enough range for around down driving on mostly the battery. No personal experience but it seems like a great vehicle.

I was actually hoping for the forthcoming Lincoln version of the Mach-E but since they pushed it back into 2023, it stopped being an option for me.

I have a Navigator L and it is a truly fantastic vehicle. It has totally changed my mind about Lincoln.

If you get one hopefully you get the chimes provided by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (I think this is so cool):

Basically, an Explorer with fancier stuff/trim. I would definitely get AWD with the twin turbo 3.0, It's got a ton of power and that will rock her world. We have a '20 Explorer ST AWD completely mod'd out and its a beast.

Update- dealer had a black one come in stock earlier and we took delivery yesterday. X plan plus $750 rebate and 0.9% financing so it was a pretty decent deal.

One of the easier buying experiences too. Less than an hour at the dealership and they didn’t even try to pitch extended warranties or add ons.

Our son is a Valet at a 5 star Resort here in Destin and he can't get over how opulant and functional the interior on the newest Lincoln's he parks. Neighbor has an Aviator and they absolutely love it. They replaced their X5 with it. They had no idea Lincoln built anything they would ever buy.

This helped a lot... thanks for this
