33 mpg should not be out of the question. My 2019 2.7L V6 at 70 mph in hilly conditions gets 33 mpg. I do use premium fuel.

Thanks bbf2530. I will drop to a 235 width, that is actually the standard tire on Nautilus, P235.60R.18 which is 2 tenths of an inch smaller then my current 21's. Should do fine, i realize that i may loose some handling by dropping from P265 but not a concern.

I drive the 2019 Nautilus Black Label, it is my dream vehicle. I love the quiet smooth drive that takes me back to my youth. Always been a car nut but at about age 14 it really kicked in. Parents starting to teach me to drive, the 1977 models hitting the showrooms. I loved the Mark V's. The family would go to Sears to do some shopping but I would go across the parking lot to the Lincoln Mercury dealership and check out the cars. It was a different time, safe to do so back then. When the Diamond Jubilee editions came out in 1978 I always associated leather dashboards with ultimate luxury. I now have that along with leather door panels and full leather seats, love it. Even down to the corning lights on the Nautilus, it's everything I associate with those luxury cars of the past. I especially like the side profile of the Nautilus, long hood and a short deck, very short deck. The performance of the twin turbo V6, well it's out of this world. One very happy customer.

Back in 2017 I test drove two MKX's back to back. One equipped with the 18" wheels and the other with 20" wheels. You could tell the difference as soon as you left the parking lot, 18's rode so much better. I asked the dealership to order a 2018 for me but they refused. I believe they thought I would purchase one of the 2017's on the lot, which I did not. So I did purchase a 2019 Nautilus, Black Label which come with the 21" wheels. Wheels look great and the ride is fine but I believe 18's would improve the ride considerably, I will go from a 40 series sidewall to a 60. I have had 18's on order from Ford for over 3 months now, from the Continental line. Wheel style is the same as available on the Nautilus but it's a 20" on the Nautilus, Continental is an 18". The Black Label center caps are from the MKC line, pressure sensors and lug nuts from the Nautilus line.

IMHO the Ceramic Pearl is an absolutely beautiful color. I think you will be very happy with it. I wish it was available on the 2019 Black Label Nautilus when i bought mine.

Update: So after a few 120 mile trips the battery would drop to 12.2 volts in less then 24 hours. I purchased a battery tender/charger for AGM batteries and it would bring the battery back to 14.6 volts within a few hours. Again, within 24 hours the battery would drop to 12.2 volts. I replaced the battery with an Optima DH7 Yellow Top yesterday, connected the trickle charge adapter, I'll put it on the charger after each short drive and see how that works for my driving conditions.

blwnsmoke, I'm hoping that's all it is, just a warning that i need to charge the battery. I will continue to test it over the next few weeks and see how it looks. I've never had a starting problem, in fact this 2.7L turns over the fastest as any car I've had, so no "drivability" issues.

Update: As akirby suggested i purchased a Solar BA9 tester. I received "ok's" across the board with "recharge" notation meaning "the battery is good but needs to be charged". The battery test had a result of 12.32v and 869 CCA. The cranking/starting test without loads registered 14.60 to 14.70v, with load 13.4v and a "ripple" of 0.14. Again everything showed "ok", tomorrow i will take it on a 120 mile round trip to Las Cruces and then test it again in a couple of days. Thanks for the help everyone.

Thanks to all for your advice, i will get it to the dealer for testing.

I have a 2019 Nautilus that is used about every 9 or 10 days for a 6 mile round trip for groceries. I get a message on the center stack screen telling me it's not going to go through the normal Lincoln start up "video" to conserve battery power. I occasionally receive messages through the Lincoln app about some functions being disabled to conserve battery power. So i decided to charge the battery, when i attached the charger it showed the battery fully charged. Question, am i receiving these messages due to non usage vs the battery being discharged? Thanks in advance.

Just a heads up to keep an eye on your spare tire pressure. We have two 2019 Lincoln's in the family and i have found the spares are loosing a lot of air pressure in 12 months. We have dropped from 55 lbs to 28 lbs in one year on both spares. Both spares have the Maxxis brand name. I have never had spares loose so much pressure in 12 months, so i will check them every 6 months.

Not sure if this will help. While updating my SYNC3 Lincoln told me to use a USB 3.0 vs 2.0, it would not update using 2.0 but did with a 3.0 thumb drive.

CoolScoop, thanks for the info. Ordered my Helm CD-ROM for my 2019 Nautilus, $180

Absolutely a 2 door and offer it with the top of the line interior.

Welcome back Amyz. Sorry to hear about your issues with the MB. Your correct about all the wonderful features of the Aviator and if you give Lincoln another chance i hope your completely satisfied with the third one. I took a look at an Aviator just after it arrived at my local dealership while i was having the seat harness recall done on my Nautilus. The fit and finish of the body panels on the 21 Aviator was perfect. Wishing you the best.
