Good evening guys! Those of you up this late will be among the first to watch our First Look review on the 2025 Aviator we filmed earlier today! Big shoutout to Cole from TFL for shooting this video for us. We also just wanted to clarify that the Aviator in the video is actually NOT a Black Label trim, but a Reserve trim with the Jet Appearance package. Apologize for the confusion!

I love our 2020 touring pluggable. We got 24-27 MPG on the highway at 80 MPH. The battery saved us bank! I drove that car almost 20 miles per day doing errands for 4 months before taking it for any longer trips. We are both retired. I didn’t fill the tank during all those months. The pluggable option also gave use 100 more HP and 200 lbs more torque and yes, you really feel the increase in power.

First, that’s not the Black Label trim. It’s a reserve with the jet appearance package (big difference between the 2). Also, that second row touch screen is not new at all. It’s been there since 2020! Adding on… ventilated 2nd row seats are standard on this, and lastly blue cruise is free for 4 years not 90 days. Do some homework before posting reviews!

I like the exterior styling and front row seating interior layout as I think it looks really nice, but where it falls apart for me is second and third row seats. It’s like they just gave up were like get me some blocky fold seats and stick them in there oh and make the headrests collapse inwards into the seat by leaving some large cutouts. Yeah let’s do that.

@@naveenthemachine well the Grand Highlander is much bigger than the Explorer on the inside so seeing as the Aviator is based on the Explorer, my best guess is that it is very similar, and cos this is a refresh the interior dimensions didn’t change. On some levels the Aviator is better, RWD, TTV6, probably better driving dynamics but the TX is also better in some other areas, more interior volume, much better mpg, plug-in hybrid option.
