Well it's 2022.. I just bought a 2004 lincoln aviator in very good condition.. it sat in a garage for 5 years! The couple that sold it to me sed it was too big for them and they decided to park it and left it. Their son sold it to me so I brought a tow truck and took it to a mechanic that I trust, he did what he did and was impressed by how well taken care of the lincoln is. No engine issues, smells new, no corrosion at all, open the hood and the everything looks and compares when you buy a new vehicle.. everything looks and smell new.. it has 46,895 miles... for a 2004 and being 2022 now... I got a very good SUV 👍

I still have mine in Ghana. It drives like magic.

The Aviator's did NOT have the V8 from the Mustang Bullitt. It is a 4.6L DOHC and is from the 03-04 Mustang Mach 1's. The Bullitt's had a 4.6L SOHC engines.

The Aviator had the engine from the Mach 1 and Mercury Marauder. The Lincoln Aviator had a 5 speed automatic transmission. The Mercury Marauder had the 4R70W or 4R75W depending on the model year.

Niiice. If you don’t mind me asking? What was the mileage on it and how much was it priced?

I have a rare California (CS) edition with stock twin Borla exhausts and a custom rear end. The truck is wonderful and smooth to drive.

Thanks for the video 2theRedline. Very good review. I just bought a 2004 Aviator and am very impressed. It seems Lincoln put more effort into the design of this car than they did any other Lincoln. It's a shame so few were made. People didn't know what they were missing. I'm glad I got one. And it's actually a Mustang Mach 1 engine.

The best car I've never had! I drive it in France with a LPG kit.

Typiclelooroll Not exactly.. I wouldn’t compare the older Lincolns to any Japanese brand (with exception of the LS 3.9). The older Lincolns were usually on the softer side, they are historically known for their soft smooth ride, extremely comfortable seats and quiet smooth V8 engines. In fact they were so quiet when you came to a complete stop you’d find yourself glancing down at the gauges (assuming you had a tachometer) or listening for the sound of the engine idle. Newer Lincolns are the same way though they’ve phased out the V8s in favor of smaller displacement high output twin turbo V6s. Now back to the LS with the 3.9 liter V8, it was a slightly sportier Lincoln that shared it’s platform with the Jaguar S-Type and Ford Thunderbird. It was discontinued in 2006 I think and replaced with the Lincoln MKS which was based on a Volvo platform.

I have a 2004 model, and it has 166K miles on it, and it's still going strong! Yeezzziiirrr!!

I was a valet and you're right. BMW feels heavy and not as refined as a Mercedes. The Lexus LS is very well-built and precise. It feels expensive. Cadillac doesn't drive as well as its reputation. It feels cheap. I was a Ford fan before I drove a Lincoln but even if I wasn't I would be now after driving a Lincoln.

This is the best Lincoln to come around in 40+ years. I'm only just now coming to appreciate it though.

"It has a navigation system!" Loved that part :P

Navigator is built on Expedition chassis/based on F-150 p/u, Aviator is built on Explorer/Mountaineer chassis/ based on Ford Ranger p/u. Navigator has unique 5.4L DOHC specific only to it rated at 305 hp and 365 ft/lbs, Aviator has DOHC 4.6L from Mustang Mach 1/Marauder rated at 302hp and 300 ft/lbs. Navigator has full air ride suspension standard, not available on Aviator. Navigator has optional power retracting running boards when doors are opened. I THINK Navigator has power opening/closing rear door. Navigator has Ford 5 speed automatic in '03 and '04, then Jaguar borrowed ZF 6 speed in '05 and '06. Aviator has 5 speed Ford auto only. I THINK again that the Navigator has full time 4wd selectable and AWD default whereas the Aviator is AWD (open front diff) only. Surprisingly, both vehicles can tow in the mid 7,000lb range at max, 7400 Aviator and 7700 Navigator (both come with class III hitch) as the Aviator has a higher power to weight ratio than the Navigator, and most importantly, the Aviator is faster!!! Both exteriors and interiors are almost identical with slightly unique re-positioning of interior equipment.

And here we are in 2020 with a brand new aviator

I just purchased a 2005 aviator. It has 144k miles. Runs fine. But finding parts can be a nightmare. After 19years thefront lower control arm bushings need replacing but the bushing and control arm are no longer manufactured.

I really hope you reviewed the new 2020 Aviator! It’s sooooo AWESOME!

I have 20 inch chrome rims, and high performance summer low profile tires on mine, and it still handles remarkably well in the winter. I'd say if one had an Aviator that had the factory tires on there it would be even better! If I'm not mistaken, AWD was standard on all of them from 2003 - 2005, with the only difference being the addition of the Stability Control being standard on the 2005 models.

I have a mint condition silver 2005 premium edition. I like the truck so much I just dropped in a new engine. I plan on modernizing the wheels, grill, headlights, and side vents and see if I can fool a few people. I chipped the engine and it makes a big difference, considering adding the Eaton 112 with only 8 psi of supercharged boost just for fun. M. 😊

Great review! Thanks

yeah the 90s doesn't even have a map system so unless your comparing the GPS to a windows 95, that joke didn't make sense to me.

Omg could you imagine if Lincoln kept producing these, how nice Gen 2 would of looked?! They should consider bringing it back, but this time base it on the new Explorer unibody structure.

my mom had one of these. it was as reliable as dirt and it finally died in june with about 76k miles on it and we got a 2013 lexus rx350. i have a soft spot for aviators since i learned to drive on them and they pull like freight trains

I’ve had my 05 aviator for about 6 years now. No problems what so ever . It has 96k miles not bad for a 17 yr old car

I love those nice looking electro luminescent gauges. Lexus and Cadillac used them too

You are wrong the motor was first used in the 92 Lincoln mark 8. Mustang borrowed the motor from Lincoln. It was always a Lincoln only motor with Ford's only getting the sohc 4.6 and the Lincoln has the dohc.

You should do a review on a new Lincoln navigator

Redline Reviews: They brought the Lincoln aviator back for the 2020 model year as the redesigned Ford Explorer

The modular 4.6 in the aviator shared similar design with the 03-04 Mach 1, Cobra, and Mercury Marauder having a double overhead cam valve train, giving the vehicles 4 overhead valves. Closest to the Marauder due to the aluminum block shared between those two vehicles. The Mach 1 and Cobra both had cast iron blocks. The Bullitt only came with 2 overhead valves per cylinder and single overhead casms until the '05-'09 generation of Mustang and Bullitt which came with 3 overhead valves per cylinder. Other than that, fantastic video. These beasts really are unknown outside of the small group of owners out there

So my aviator doesn’t have a CD player. Does that mean it’s and older or newer body?

I had an 09 Mountaineer Premier V8! God it was wonderful! Hated selling it. I recommend anyone to get one if u can find and evaluate properly.

I had seen it once,its pretty rare in ,Milwaukee, WI

Acually the V8 is the 32valve power plant from the Mach 1 that has been detuned. Plus I think that the Aviator never came with HIDs.

What it's This intro Music

We had an '03 Kitty Hawk edition that ate through two transmissions in eight years. Still, the Discovery is one of the most unreliable luxury cars made EVER, so the Lincolns are probably a safer bet.

No this is the InTech V8 that came directly from the Lincoln Mark VIII and Continental. Later it was used in the Mustang cars but it was originally built for Lincoln by Ford.

When you get to where the engine came from you start to go downhill. The 4-Valve DOHC InTech 4.6L V8 engine was put into many cars.... Lincoln Mark VIII, Continental, Mark VII LSC, Aviator. Ford Mustang SVT Cobra, Mustang Mach 1. Mercury Marauder. And multiple cars without FoMoCo's names... Panoz AIV, Marcos Mantis GT, Qvale Mangusta, MG X-Power SV, and the Panoz Esperante. None of which being the Mustang Bullit...

One thing I like about Lincoln's is the color choices and overall body shape. Once I look at details id much rather have a Cadillac escalade.

merp.

It's hardly what I would call dated; if anything, modern cars have too much crap in them. And the third row seat is nowhere near tight; my 6ft2 brother-in-law fit into it just fine with decent comfort.
