How Much Did Lincoln Improve the 2025 Aviator? Here's Your First Look! 

How long has it taken you to get used to the push button transmission?

@@Kush333 I’ve never struggled. A level in the console isn’t hooked to anything on new cars. It’s just a big electric switch to make you feel like you’re doing something.

Lots now have push button transmission, get over it…like the first day I had one. Smarter than the average bear 🤪

He meant Ranger Raptor

Bronco Raptor also.

This engine is in more Raptors than the 3.5. Kinda weird.

@@scottroberts3705, meh, the Explorer ST/Aviator had it before anything else.

@@The-fs5wn, because they keep that motor for larger vehicles versus the 3.0L.

What engine issues are you referring to? And at what mileage? And would you say this also happens on a 2020 model?

I was wondering that too, Toyota probably sent Japanese mob hit men, you know they can’t be happy!

Died on the trail. They are trying to resuscitate it in the dealership.

Are you referring to the round drive mode selector wheel? Or are you referring to the electronic parking brake lever? Those are the only two switches better in the area where you described. Also, how do you like your 2020 aviator? How many miles do you have on it? Any engine issues? Somebody mentioned their 21 was having engine issues.

As of June 28, 2024, there are 51,000 miles on my 2020 Aviator. Never had trouble with the engine or transmission. The only weird thing that occurred was the "blue screen" issue, which took Ford about 2-years to decide to resolve. The fix was simple - replacing the rear camera. I used to keep cars for 100,000 miles plus, but these days, I prefer to purchase a new car every 5-6 years. I have only one vehicle at this station in my life. I have had Ford Explorers since 1993, but upgraded to the Aviator in 2020. I am glad that I did. Now I'm trying to decide if upgrading to the Black Label model is worth the extra $$$. FYI - average mpg = 23, which I think is fantastic for a large, heavy vehicle.

@@drummer7006 okay thanks for your reply. I appreciate your information. I would say upgrading to the Black Label trim level depends on what kind of aviator trim level you currently have, and what packages are currently on it. The Black Label pretty much comes with everything and in my opinion looks better than anything out on the road. 2020 Black Label aviators are hard to find especially with decent mileage around 50,000 Mi or so give or take, and are at a decent price around 40K or so. Very hard to find. You would be better off finding a Reserve trim with the technology package which would add the Adaptive headlights, glowing Lincoln front logo badge, premium Sound system, and Motion sense seats.

Ya, weird move, it's proven at this point people dislike that, especially in colder climates when they are wearing gloves and to change anything you have to remove your gloves.

That’s a B.S. statement

It's because the rest of Ford has already done that. So they're trying to save money and not make more than one part of the need.

Lincoln has been using push button selectors for the transmission for over 10 years now.

No it’s made in the Chicago suburb.

It will be just wait a couple years

Chicago until 2028

GM and superior don't belong in the same sentence haha. Its a polished turd

GMC is turd tho…. Like ultimate American crap car 😂

You have not test driven both cars. GM's XT6 even has way more plastic than the aviator. Ride quality is night and day different

You are what we call ishak iopta ja tvoi mam shluxa ibal v ochko na spine gandona papki.

I didn’t find Aviator model supply data but Lincoln on average has 140 days of supply NOT 400. Industry average is 70 days.

@@is6566 back in October 23 it was 400 day supply. But yes it’s around 140 now but that is high.

4800 lbs…slow?

I understand the first part but what do you expect Roman to do on a manufacturer sponsored car event? Not to talk about the cars?

I expect him to do exactly what he did. Just remember when you consider these guys to be objective that they are not

I understand the sentiment but everyone with more than a few hundred subscribers are doing this exact same thing because this is the only viable business model to do car reviews full time.

I assumed they only did fleet sales to taxi services. It'd be nice to see the towncar return and dominate the comfy cruiser category without being a massive SUV.

I ll miss towncar 😅

After they axed the sedans I stopped paying attention

My wife drives a Corsair and loves it! I drive a mkz 3.0t AWD and it’s great.

Why are you here? 😂😂😂😂

What an absolute DONUT thing to say. Every luxury brands residual value is garbage. Name ONE luxury brand out there that has better fit, finish, and build quality in its price range I'll wait.. Hilarious how you saying you would never spend your money on that "trash" as if you'd even be in that type of market for those types of vehicles. Ford still need to improve some of the Lincoln line, especially the garbage Corsair, but compared to its competitors it is MILES better. I sell of them and I speak from experience everyday with all these brands versus you and your panties-in-a-wad emotions
