2025 Explorer VS Aviator: Which SUV Should You Choose?

[@garlantyrell8030]

The Aviator hands down

[@ThomasFerrugia]

@ 2:44 - The Aviator's hood is new for 2025. It lost it's single fin running down the middle (from windshield to grill), in favor of two parallel fins.

I had a 2020 Explorer Limited, Now a 2023 Platinum. The refresh on the Explorer isn't impressive in the least. I think the Aviator is next. Love the front end change but wishing they'd redo the taillights to give it a more luxurious look. Great review.

I take the Aviator for sure.

Me too!

I lease the Explorer's and just got the 2025 Platinum in Sept. It was loaded and cost 61k. Once I had it, I discovered that they took away the door panel keyless entry which has been on every explorer since I started getting them in 98. They also removed the hands free left gate and the illumination on the front cup holder which my 2021 Platinum had. For 61k this is petty. I recently looked at the Aviator for next time and if I equip it like my Platinum, it's in the 76k range. I like the Aviator a lot, however, I don't know that it's worth 15k more than the Platinum.

love the Lincoln and would pay the premium for massaging seats

[@melissagandy1839]

But did they fix the transmission problems?

[@jowens4883]

Good Review

[@maciejszumny6919]

Always the Lincoln

[@Robloxmemes4u]

aviator all day

You should have compared the Platinum with the upgraded ST engine to the Aviator. The price would have been closer, and the interiors/features would have matched up better.

[@stingray481]

The lincoln has a longer warranty and better coverage

[@misaelramirez4510]

EXPLORER HAS BECOME A STAPLE IN THE SUV AND 3ROW VEHICLES

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

Indeed it has!

[@Sports-qz7zj]

Come on...apples to apples, not apples to oranges. Basic! The comparison is pathetic. Do Explorer Platinum to Lincoln Aviator Black Label. Top vs. Top.

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

The top is actually the explorer ST. Which is why we stated in the video we are comparing the ST not the platinum. The ST is more expensive making it a more even comparison
