I am actually considering this car after never owning one by American manufacturer. Love the exterior and interior. My only concern or rather unknown is the long term reliability.
I can’t bring myself to look at any other manufacturers because I’ve had such great luck with Ford products. I have nothing against most other car companies, but I’ve had almost zero problems with Fords, and I’ve owned quite a few over the past 20 years, or so. And, I seem to get far better resale value, although I usually keep my vehicles for 7-8 years, or more. In my experience, there are no cars more reliable. I know many folks feel the same about other brands, and that’s great! But, I think I’d be crazy to switch brands because in my experience, these vehicles have been outstanding.
I love these and plan on buying a new 7 seater SUV next year, this is a top runner. They definitely look like Range Rover on outside but the inside is what sold me on this, beautiful layout
Thank you, Ben. This went a long way towards convincing me, after this video and a lot of research and test-driving competitors, I ordered my 2021 AWD Reserve 2 with the 202A package and I'm loving this UAW built gem!
I love … this … video. It is so … good … to … see it reviewed the way you did. It was a great … driving … experience … to watch. I look forward to when deer … don’t … exist … so I can drive wherever I want.
I HAD an Aviator. During that time, the air suspension leaked, making the car undriveable. Had to be towed to a dealer. Left the car outside on a rainy night. Next day, I got in with my suit on and as I was backing out of the driveway, water poured in all over me from the moonroof like Niagra Falls. Dealer said it was fixed but it happened again. Then, funny flukes would happen. For no reason, the lights would come on and stay on until the battery was depleted. The memory seats never remembered very well and had to be adjusted constantly. The Sync system was irritatingly slow, especially on navigation where I would push a button then 2 seconds later the command would execute. Very annoying. While the 30 way seats do adjust to almost any imaginable position, they are harder than Explorer ST seats! The third row seat is so cramped it might as well not even be there. In short, this vehicle spent more time at the dealer than in my possession. Lincoln/Ford had an excuse for everything including all the delays to get it fixed over and over again but that never really helped get it fixed. One dealer person at Lincoln even told me that they cringe when they see these Aviators coming in for service. I can see why. Happy to be driving my new Audi.
I'd take this over a Mercedes Benz anyday looks good really love the interior reminds of the 21 Burban and 21 Yukon but I dont know about the 21 Escalade I think Cadillac still beat them 🤷♂️
I’m waiting for Lincoln to remove the transmission button selectors & replace it with the Rotary transmission knob from the Ford Fusion & place it where the Drive mode knob is then I would definitely buy the Aviator. I operate construction vehicles & the transmission selector buttons have a high Failure rate.
Good Video - but Ben, you should have told us what's new for 2021 and what is carry-over from 2020. And I see those rear pass seats are still manual; not in the X7. In comparison, Lincoln still skimped on the luxury details.
The materials look decent when new, but they don't wear very well at all. I've been in a few used ones with less than 25K on the ODO, and the steering wheel leather looks shiny and junky already. I don't know how the Germans and Asian companies do leather wheels, but Ford seems to be doing the same thing they've done for decades.
I am a fan of ford vehicle but i heard Ford planned to move Lincoln nautilus and edge to China at the end 2023. Then. I will turn to Either Toyota or Nissan
No... it does not. If you can’t tell the difference between this and an explorer, then you’re the same guy who can’t tell the difference between delivery and DiGiorno.
It is the same but the aviator is luxurious inside and out. ST was very basic inside. If you just want raw power sport suv get the ST. If you want that plus luxury then get the aviator
Super luxury brand imposing. But mercury and volvo would have been better luxury brand for ford if ford invested on these 2 brands properly and removed most if their shitty platform give these 2 new beautiful independent engines because both mercury and volvo are really great performance and better safety than lincoln. Also mercury could help fords luxury in the United States and volvo could help fords luxury growth in Europe with their safety.
Black interior is ALWAYS boring. What makes even worse, that there’s no hybrid version just only plug in hybrid! Dear Lincoln no business, till u do what we want!
Great car if you think $80,000 for 19 days of pleasure is worth it face-fuchsia-tongue-outI p/u a new 2021 Aviator reserve which I fell in love with same as the dude in the video has been bragging about but after 19 days of pure pleasure the entire electrical system went crazy now the vehicle has been in service 3 time for a total of 41/2 months and nothing has been repaired and even more is wrong with it The f------en car is such a piece of sh____It has been nothing but trouble for the last year and a half, Now It is sitting in a storage unit for the last 7 months because its a safety hazard and I will not put my family in it nor will I put the public in danger . Hers just a few of the issues, while driving on the highway the front end starts to shimmy furiously to the point that I have to make my way over to the shoulder. Or all of a sudden the car feels as the brakes are on as I'm driving 100km an hour on the highway Or all of a sudden the back end on the car dips as if the hatch has opened .the screen does not lower its intensity automatically or manually so when your driving at night its literally blinding you . I could name at least 5 other major problems that occur and the worst part of it all .the problems that occur happen randomly you never know when its going to happen so BEWARE!!!!!!!!! I hope I've helped you make a safe decision
*These things look ELITE on the road.*
A truly beautiful SUV. Some very nice features and a solid, comfortable drive as a bonus.
I like what Lincoln is doing. Good video.
Nice video and keep up with the great work and be safe out there.
One of my favourite SUVs. An aviator black label review pls.

Ford and Lincoln overall do relatively well.

Very good presentation of the interior. Cheers!
This looks awesome I love the design
The Aviator is an excellent option excellent SUV all modern features included great design
Ingenious design with the double pull hood release . Lost count how many times ive opened hood with my foot getting out of car
I love these and plan on buying a new 7 seater SUV next year, this is a top runner. They definitely look like Range Rover on outside but the inside is what sold me on this, beautiful layout

Congrats...the Aviator looks absolutely stunning!
This will be my dream vehicle to own Ben.
That Lincoln Aviator is smokin' 🔥

Can you pls make a video Navigator black label vs Aviator black label. 2 beautiful suvs..
i just got the 2021 Lincoln aviator black label and i love it
That’s a rather classy looking machine!👁👁👍😊
Beautiful scenery out the windshield near the end of the video. What's u with that sign? "New Fiesta 12,995"?
I am inspired! I need to get one!
Lincoln is impressing me with their designs
Bought it Love it !!
Great video - what about reliablility?
Hi. The car is cool, the company managed to make an interesting car. Your review is as always good, thanks.👍🤝
Lincoln is on a roll

@1:25 Why are the measurements for the tire in Imperial and the wheels are in Metric?
Who's here after seeing the Aviator on the road?
I saw a white Aviator on the road today and it was stunning!
Beautiful
Fabulous Car....
Beautiful suv Lincoln Aviator
Very nice SUV
U should make a review on the new 2021 ford f150
And the best thing is the chime.
Lincoln arm of Ford did their homework and did it well. Now iron out the gremlins and you've set the bar higher.
They did! The 2021 models have been pretty close to flawless. I own one.
People are may be looking the car ... i only was looking to the beautifull mountains all arround 🙂.
Did like the engine vroom vroom !
Anyone else notice how the rear suspension sits lower than the front. It’s almost 2” drop in the rear wheel well. Maybe fuel eco?
What's the flashing in the windshield..
Looks like it reflecting from somewhere from the top dash ..
That would drive me CRAZY..
It is heads up display. It is like a projector that displays certain features
Cool vid my dad is getting this car 🙂👍🏽👍🏽
He's gonna love it!🤗
@@chikidd24 yup💜💜
@@chikidd24 How tall is your dad?
I’ve seen these and I wonder why they look so low from the rear.. looks like they have a ton of weight on the back .. anybody know why?
The roof is curved. It is not the weight.
I'd take this over a Mercedes Benz anyday looks good really love the interior reminds of the 21 Burban and 21 Yukon but I dont know about the 21 Escalade I think Cadillac still beat them 🤷♂️
Can you do the Lincoln corsair? We have been thinking about upgrading our Lincoln mkc
if the car loses power, how do you get into it if the door opener mechanism is electric?
Capacitors in the doors keep power for the emergency door handles just in case the car battery dies
@@lincoln98 plus there is a manual opener.
Kafkaz ! 👌
Is it available in uk
So the successor to the MKT?
All Lincoln’s are considered luxurious
Is aviator a mid size suv?
And is this good to go off road??
I don’t think you should be off-roading with luxury vehicles
If you want to trash it, go for it!
This Lincoln puts foot in Cadillac Xt6's ass all day long! Very well done!👍👁👁👍
I want 1 sooooo bad
i hope i getting thise car🥺❤
Omg this is my dream car
The aviator & the nautilus omg praying I can save up to own this one day
The grill is my favorite of the car. The design all over is epic
It speaks to be Savage ! Am I the only one! Look at the space inside
Yeees the seats give me that heater massage look
No lie this car would make me want to drive it in soft gloves so the wear and tear of the steering wheel doesn't rub off causing discoloration
The gears just destroyed it for me. I need the traditional classic shifter knob.
Can you review a nautilus please?
Yes
Ok I need yo buy me this vehicle..asap
in India available
I might get the 2021 chevrolet suburban rst or this Suv, they are both luxury vehicles for sure. Ben which suv do you recommend me to buy
Depends on how much space you need
I would want a tons of space because we do a lot of trips
Suburban has more space in that case
The Suburban looks like a utility passenger vehicle for a work crew. The Aviator look like an elegant premium luxury SUV.
I wonder if it’d be better with a V8?
Not here at 4500 feet elevation
The twin turbos and high torque are far better than similar vehicles with a V8. More horsepower, better gas mileage.
2020 Lincoln Aviator is Quicker Than a Hyundai Palisade 2020
It also doesn't have the jittery ride.
I’m waiting for Lincoln to remove the transmission button selectors & replace it with the Rotary transmission knob from the Ford Fusion & place it where the Drive mode knob is then I would definitely buy the Aviator. I operate construction vehicles & the transmission selector buttons have a high Failure rate.
Driving my 4th Lincoln with the buttons, never have had any issues. Also, never heard any complaints on the social media pages.
I really want one but it’s just outta my price range 🙄
No its not.....just believe...
@@damolababalola941 yeah right.
“here is your full side view” 0.037 of a second and gone!
oh well… maybe in another video I can have my wish of at least 5 seconds
I bought it today
Why lie.
Oooooo roast
Thank for showing the trunk space that this vehicle doesn’t have a spare tire.
0:31 that long hair waving from your beard....who have you been making out with? GRIN
Lol
I thought I was the only one who noticed. 😖😖
It looks Pristine
When are you going to review the 2021 F150?
Soon hopefully
Reved it cold 😭😭😭
Good Video - but Ben, you should have told us what's new for 2021 and what is carry-over from 2020. And I see those rear pass seats are still manual; not in the X7. In comparison, Lincoln still skimped on the luxury details.
Isn’t the Cadillac more expensive?
No skimp, really! Every time I drive it it feels like a dream ride.
I drove both. The Caddy driving experience doesn't compare.
What's happens when the electric door openers break. Because it will...
Manual option as well
The materials look decent when new, but they don't wear very well at all. I've been in a few used ones with less than 25K on the ODO, and the steering wheel leather looks shiny and junky already. I don't know how the Germans and Asian companies do leather wheels, but Ford seems to be doing the same thing they've done for decades.
Sup Ben :). I beleive this is the more upscale version of the Ford Explorer.
Looks great till your stuck with all the electric problems
This review is for the 2021 model. The electric issues were in the first 6 months of 2020 production.
I love almost everything about it except I don’t love the back! They could have done a better job designing the back! Of course that’s my opinion!
I agree but i can look past it cus its so nice
I love the back...different strokes for different folks!
Couldn't convince my husband of getting this car. Rates pretty low on reliability and for the price point he's not willing to take a gamble.
I am a fan of ford vehicle but i heard Ford planned to move Lincoln nautilus and edge to China at the end 2023. Then. I will turn to Either Toyota or Nissan
No heated back seats at this price point?
They are.
The platinum Explorer is pretty much the same vechicle, a little different
I drove both. Not the same. Ask people that build both. Not even close.
These give Mercedes a run for their money
Tbh the car is amazing but the part that just ruins it for me is the front end I'm not a fan of it
First and foremost. Incorrect location depicted for the wireless charging pad. smh.
Pay attention to how many times you end sentences with "as well". It's a bit distracting. Thank you for the video.
Junk
Saying " First and foremost" multiple times in the same video is annoying.
Great vehicle , But Tesla plans yearly 10 M production and so does Volkswagen in less 10 years , RIP ICE vehicles 🔥
I'll keep that in mind when I fill up in 5 minutes on a road trip.
@@StevenHusak if your talking hydrogen @ present you will be doing @ double price of gas if there was fueling stations outside of California
This car looks exactly like Ford ST Explorer!!! Research it and you’ll know where to save money.
No... it does not. If you can’t tell the difference between this and an explorer, then you’re the same guy who can’t tell the difference between delivery and DiGiorno.
@@Seank2205 put it this way. Why buy a 50$ shirt when the same manufacturer sells it somewhere else $20
It is the same but the aviator is luxurious inside and out. ST was very basic inside. If you just want raw power sport suv get the ST. If you want that plus luxury then get the aviator
@@alfreds.9481 a comparison would be the same manufacturer sell one similar with cheaper materials.
How many annoying times can he say aviator? I tried to make it a drinking game but didn’t make it 2 minutes in...
The tablet is hideous
Not really, I bought this car a few months ago. You keep your eyes more parallel with tablet next to you, I like it.
Looks nice. Too bad it's a Ford.
Super luxury brand imposing. But mercury and volvo would have been better luxury brand for ford if ford invested on these 2 brands properly and removed most if their shitty platform give these 2 new beautiful independent engines because both mercury and volvo are really great performance and better safety than lincoln.

Junk, unreliable, overpriced.
The interior design is dated. SMF
The gear selector reminds me of an 8-track player. LOL
Lmaooooo what if you have kids
It carries 7 passengers. Are we talking kids, or a litter? ;-)
Black interior is ALWAYS boring. What makes even worse, that there’s no hybrid version just only plug in hybrid! Dear Lincoln no business, till u do what we want!
Look at their sales figures, clearly they did their market research.
I think Ford puts black interior in 90% of their vehicles
