Replying to: pre4420 (Feb 12, 2007 6:58 pm) I know a couple of Lincoln lovers who had several Lincolns, then got an Aviator and wished they could turn back time. One of them actually found his Aviator had a drivetrain installed that was meant for an Explorer. Found this out the hard way when nothing would work right. Can u imagine that? Engine/tranny and AWD hardware from a different vehicle. Unbelievable. I had an Aviator as a loaner once in the winter and I thought my right foot was going to be burnt to a crisp. On auto, the heater vent pours hot air right onto your gas pedal foot. Cant move it anywhere either. The good side - not all Lincolns suck like the Aviator apparently does. I loved the idea of it when it came out, went to buy one but ended up with a Navigator instead when the Aviator was really too small for what I needed. Feel like I dodged a bullet cause the Nav has been an A+ vehicle. Maybe you should consider a used Nav? They're much bigger, more powerful, ride better, handle just about as well and are much more reliable. Avoid power running board as they are the lone trouble spot that I've heard of.

So I stumbled across this site a couple of weeks ago and am scared out of my mind with all the head/valve issues I have been reading on the higher mileage Aviators. I have a 2004 Aviator (built April '04) with 30k on it and am afraid that I am going to have to replace my head(s) in 20 or 30 thousand miles. So my question is: Are there any Aviator owners with over 50 thousand or so miles on the clock who HAVEN'T experienced any of these head or valve issues? -thanks, Frank

Replying to: bmwlover (Jul 03, 2004 3:04 am)  just wanted to let you know, mine is a 2 wheel drive, and it did very well in snow untill the sun went down and ice happened. but i was trying to go uphill, the roads were closed to only chains, 4x4. the chains i bought did not fit so i returned to a town and stayed at a red cross shelter for the night. but all in all it did good.
