We test drove them both on the same day and found them identical in most every way. Neither have enough seat adjustment for a tall person as does our 2018 Explorer Platinum. The Aviator has a different front end and style changes inside but they are the same vehicle.

Dude you missed a lot of key points when choosing the Aviator or the Explorer! 1) Lincoln ownership includes the pickup and delivery of your vehicle for all your service or maintenance needs, as well as a loaner Lincoln until service is completed. 2) The Aviator Grand Touring utilizes a battery-powered electric motor and pairs it with the standard Twin-Turbocharged engine to produce more than 450 horsepower and more than 600 lb.-ft. of torque. 3) you can program your phone to act as the key 4) Active Park Assist Plus 5) adaptive suspension with road preview 6) 28-speaker Revel® Ultima 3D Audio System and a lot more!!

Man, do we have different opinions! I’ve owned a 2013 Explorer Limited and a 2016 Explorer Platinum. Next month I will be getting my Aviator, because it is, hands down, so much better than the Explorer. People, from someone who has driven an Explorer for the past 6 years, please take my advice and give the Aviator a test drive to determine for yourself. You won’t be sorry you did! More luxurious materials, smoother ride, MUCH better seats, great handling, better massaging seats, less road noise in the cabin, amazing sound system and a much more attractive body style! Explorer doesn’t hold a flame to the Aviator in my eyes.

@jasondickens90035 жыл бұрын
I think we need to keep mainstream and luxury apart. Many manufacturers use shared platforms to provide mainstream products and luxury products. Pitching the Aviator against the ST Explorer on the dynamic of value is not a fair assessment. The Aviator should be compared to the likes of Audi Q7, Volvo XC90, Cadillac XT6 etc. The craftsmanship of the Aviator and attention to details is far more compelling than the Explorer but then again has to be since it’s competing with other luxury makes. Luxury vehicles offer better leathers, more soft touch areas on the interior vs hard plastics, more comfortable seats etc. if you look at the Aviator against its luxury competitors it offers an amazing balance of value and luxury. Standard 400 hp and 10-speed transmission. Audi,Volvo or Cadillac doesn’t do anything like that. If your trying to see how Explorer ST measures up then you have to consider other mainstream offerings such as the Durango SRT.

All my vehicles have extended warranty so I dont pay for anything until I am over 120,000 miles. As of now, I have never had a single major repair on any of them. A couple of factory recalls and the Navigator had the power running board motors replaced, but that is because I live in Michigan and snow/salt are not friendly with moving parts being that close to the road grime. My father worked for GM for 40 years, so I grew up with GM products. Lincoln is my go to now though.

I wish this review had a test drive. In order to justify the additional 17k for the Aviator, Lincolns usually have more sound insulation, which makes a huge difference in the quality of the vehicles. Also, the Aviator must come with the Revel Sound System which is incredible. I don’t think it’s available on the Explorer. It would be nice to know if this system was standard on the Aviator. When it’s all said and done, you still have to go to the dealership and see the vehicles for yourself.

I'm a Ford Explorer Limited owner and I say the following with confidence. This question "Are They the Same SUV", can be answered with a resounding "Yes, They Are the Same SUV". Why you might ask, because they both have three major recalls before they ever produce over 16k vehicles. It took 16k vehicles to be produced before Ford realized these major issues. What were these supposed major recalls you might ask, well lets see, rolling, parked car doesn't stay parked, and oh yeah unfinished metal cutting people after getting in and out of the seats. If Henry Ford was alive to see what his sons has done to this company, I think he'd cry. If you think I'm biased and limiting my remarks to fords Explorer/Aviator line, please review the 2020 F150 and it's recalls. If you really want a good laugh check out the tail gate that comes open while driving. When is this crap they out put going to stop being recalled for serious safety issues. I'm sick of it. Do a google search, I don't know if they have had anything that hasn't had recalls. They've even gone almost 10 years and still can't fix door actuators, it's got two plastic disk attaching to a motor to rotate your heat and cold in the explorer. They've revised it twice in 10 years still fails often. Or have carbon monoxide leaks into the cab. You don't know how much you enjoy driving an explorer until you have to actually put in a carbon monoxide detector in your car while you drive so you don't pass out with your kids in it. Sorry for the long rant just trying to save people from making the same mistake I did.

This guy is one of the ONLY reviewers I've heard say this. Lincoln went to extremes to successfully separate itself from the Ford and has done so in spades. The suspension is different as is all the trim.

Shouldn’t the Explorer Platinum be compared to the Lincoln and not the sport model Ford

Lincoln is doing a much better job of differentiating Lincoln from ford. Much better than a lot of competitors.

Oh give me a break this comparision is a joke and so amature. Im sure there are MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE to be compared between the 2 vehicles. You only compared everything that is comparable. Then there is a list of features and options on the Lincoln which you cannot even compare with the Explorer because the Explorer doesnt even have it. The Lincoln has AIR assist where the vehicle raises and lowers. The explorer doesnt. The list goes on. The Lincoln even has a 450hp engine options which you fail to mention! The Lincoln Aviator is by far a superior vehicle to the Explorer. My Gosh. Even the RIM optiions are goooorgeous! PLUS you dont even mention the different trims options that are available on the Aviator.

I didn't realize the the Explorer had massaging seats. Do any of its competitors? GMC Acadia, Chevy Traverse, Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, Dodge Durango, Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Ascent, VW Atlas, Mazda CX-9...???
@melleyj71914 жыл бұрын
Jamil Jones Yes, the Explorer Platinum has massaging seats. I’ve been enjoying them for the past 3 years, but I’m moving up to the Aviator. To my knowledge, of the ones you listed, the Explorer is the only one to have them. Then again, it’s been 3 years since I did my research before I bought my Platinum. Things may have changed since then.
@MrPsalms2074 жыл бұрын
@@melleyj7191 yea... I'm pretty sure that the Explorer is still the only one to have that feature (in this class). Cuz I watch car reviews all the time, and I'm pretty sure that would have stood out to me if reviewers had mentioned it on the other vehicles. For instance, Telluride and Palisade have heated and cooled SECOND row seats. Stands out, cuz it's unique for the segment. But, yea, that's crazy that the Explorer has massaging seats (even as far back as 3 years ago when you got yours). Enjoy your Aviator (I'm jealous). Lol... Waiting for my Genesis GV80 to launch though. 😁

Something to take into consideration, the ST maxes out in towing at 5600 lbs, the aviator maxes out at 6700 lbs. Also the st(and the platinum model of the explorer) has fake exhaust tips, whereas it looks like the lincoln didn't cheap out there. You can get a "basic" aviator for the same price as the ST, be able to tow more, and the interior even in the basic aviators looks nicer. Its interesting to note that while the aviator has 15 less torque than the st, the "platinum" edition of the explorer has 35 less horsepower than either, and 20 less torque than the aviator.

I have to agree with other comments I have owned many vehicles the difference in build components is the big difference between these cars. Also, the lincoln looks much better inside and out Just traded my fusion platinum for an MKX Reserve the lincoln is so much nicer. The Fusion leather color was painted on from the factory the same way aftermarket leather dye is. The other thing I will say is I drove the MKX, Infinity, Lexus, Cadillac, Toyota, and a few Kia & Hyundai models and the Lincoln was very nice excellent value compared to others in its class Plus if your gonna buy one get the Aviator GT PHEV 600+ foot pounds of torque
