Lincoln Aviator Ultimate 2WD
The Aviator, which debuted last year, is (like the Mercury Mountaineer) based on the Explorer, Ford’s bestselling, mid-size 16-foot SUV. Although the Lincoln derivative is fundamentally the same as the others, there are a number of significant differences. Lincoln ditched the Explorer’s steering rack in favor of variable-assist and variable-ratio steering gear. The shocks and springs are also exclusive to the Aviator, and its interior is very much Lincoln, being swathed in fine leather, satin nickel, and burled walnut. The second row comes as either a three-passenger bench or with two outboard seats and a center console. There’s just one engine available, a 4.6-liter, DOHC 32-valve V-8 that produces 302 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. And the standard five-speed automatic transmission is the best Ford slushbox we’ve ever sampled. For 2004, a tire-pressure monitor is standard, and roll-stability control is optional.
