I would guess the 2022 Aviator will have Sync 4 and larger screen.
-
Is 2021 Nautilus in production yet? I wonder when it will be on dealer's lot for test drive. Do any one know when Lincoln's on line configuration will be open?

I missed that. How do you see the temp to adjust it?I think the OP is talking about the temperature display in the control unit right above the levels to change the temperature setting. One for eth drive and one for the passenger, the 2020 models have them and they indeed look nice. Now the two windows becomes black void. It is a downgrade, although the temperatures still display in the screen.

Btw, I have a 2021 gt. Wondering if they got rid of the temp display 2021.
2021 models don't have them. It has been discussed in this forum. They were eliminated in the US models . Maybe BL still have them. The foreign versions still have them though.

This is another one with the door button failure and other issue.

Has any one had failure of the internal door release buttons? Both the front passenger door button and the rear passenger door button have quit working on our 2020 Aviator. The electric door opening was a bit of a safety concern when we bought the vehicle, but we assumed they were designed and made of very high quality since they were such a critical component. This failure is very concerning as it is a big safety issue since the drivers door is the only one with a manual opening backup. Hoping it is a freak occurrence and the dealer can repair, but wondering if anyone has experienced a failure of the door opener.
It indeed is a safety concern. This button should not fail so early. The aviator has had 10 recalls in its short life. Built quality and reliability is really holding some buyers back. Hope it get fixed quickly.

it was faster than I expected, too.
@Random Precision
There is a post in another forum stating that 2021 Aviator deleted the interior temperature display on the control unit on the dash. I think this is hardly unreasonable. Could you check yours and post a photo for that?
Thanks.

XT6 is crossed board not on par with the Aviator.

Beautiful!

There may be water in your trunk or somewhere. Gas should not make that noise.

Saw this in a recent review of a different car. It is interesting to compare different SUV's in such a way and knows where each one is located.

I just got the Aviator back from the dealer explaining to them the ride complaint. The short answer is after they took it for a ride: Its designed to ride like that due to the low profile tires. The tech also added that he drives a pickup truck and my Aviator rides much better than his truck. IMHO, it should not ride hard with alot of road noise. Hell, my Durango SRT set on Track Mode rode better with zero road or tire noise than the Aviator.
Drive another Aviator with 22" wheels on the dealer lot and compare with yours. If they are all the same, then he is probably right. If not, something wrong with yours.

My 2020 Aviator RII with 22’s is going back to the dealer on Monday for hard harsh ride conditions. One tire out of the 4 could not be road force balanced to anywhere near specs. Replaced under warranty. 2 of the tires are under 5 lbs of road force. The other 2 are 6 lbs and 10 lbs. The ride is not luxurious and quiet! The ride is more like....this sucks.
The new tire took away the vibrations, but the ride still remains hard and the road noise is irritating. Feeling every crack and uneven road surfaces.
I guess you don't have the dynamic handling package. Otherwise, it should be very smooth. I don't want the package. That thing, with all the advantages, is built to fail, and when it fails, leaking air from rubber chambers, you probably can't drive it, no matter where you are. It is not just Lincoln, it is all the air glider set ups for all the brands.
Plan to order a R1 with all the options for R2, prices will be almost identical, but get the 20" wheels. It is already big enough and should have all the benefits of plus-size wheels, but providing a much smoother ride.
Best wishes!

It is entirely personal whether a seat is comfortable or not. When I test drive the Aviator, I found it really comfortable. I even brought a ruler with me to measure the seat width. Since a lot people claim it was narrow. Turn out it was about a inch wider than my Infiniti.

I have 21" wheels on my 2020 Aviator GT and am very happy with them, the air suspension gives an amazing ride so if you're getting air suspension as well so if you went up to 22" it may not make much of a difference.
I had 21" wheels on my last two vehicles: 2017 and 2013 MKX's (which did not have air suspension) and was happy with them never had any issues with ride quality. The only problem I had on my 2017 MKX with the 21" polished aluminum rims were the gaps between the spokes were huge which sometimes in the winter got snow and ice trapped on the inside of the rim which if you didn't clean it out throws the wheel off balance and cause vibration while driving.
Bear in mind it is not just the size of the wheels that will affect the ride but the make and quality of the tires. I'm not sure what tires come on the Aviator with 22" wheels, but the 21s on mine have Pirelli Scorpion Zero which I find are excellent, hardly any noise and great traction + handling.
My previous 2017 MKX had Pirelli Scorpion Verde also great tires, but now on the Nautilus they switched the tires on the 21" wheels from Pirellis to Continentals which I'm not crazy about myself. My boss drives a 2019 Nautilus with 21's and Continentals, she only has about 15,000km so far and you can tell they are already wearing in quite a bit. I'd be shocked if she makes it to the end of her lease (48,000km) and doesn't have to put a new set of tires on.
The bigger size must also have some draw backs, otherwise there is no reason the GT not using the 22-inch wheels. They look really nice.
-
Those 22" wheels certainly look very nice on the Aviator. However, there are draw backs, harsh ride, road noise, and high costs associated with potential replacement. I want to ask the owners what your experience with the large wheels? I know the dynamic handling package will take care of the harsh ride, but I don't want that for durability concerns. Any ideals? 20 inches are already big enough.
For Reserve, you can either go to the reserve II with the 22 wheels, or stay with Reserve I and add Luxury and Illumination packages and keep the 20 wheels. You can also add the tow hatch. The prices are almost identical. Any suggestion?

We took dealer cost +$1,500 as the starting point and I paid full freight on the options. So the dealership probably made $2,000-2,200ish. I wasn't in the mood for a long drawn out negotiation and he deserves to make a living doing his job as much as I deserve to make a living doing mine. I was in and out in an hour.
Very nice. Thanks.

Thank you for your answers. Looks like the waiting is much better than before.
Any discount?

I've ordered a 2021 Reserve I, flight blue, roast interior. Flight blue was $900 in Canada. Only other options other than Reserve I was luxury package and 2nd row console.
Did Lincoln tell you how long to production? Thank you.
-
Oops, they don't have one back then, don't they? No wonder no one has ordered.
-
Has anyone ordered a 2010 yet? Want to know how long it takes before delivery.

For auto-fold mirrors, the Lincoln welcome mat turns on when welcome lighting or lighted entry turns on and the mirrors fold in upon locking or using the switch on the door.
Note: If you enable auto-fold and then you fold the mirrors in to the door window glass, the welcome mats do not turn on.
The above is from the manual and it is confusing. Maybe you folded your mirrors.

The latest JD Power three year dependability survey put Lincoln at NO 7, way above industrial average and above BMW and many other primary brands.
Way to go.

Thanks for the information.
No Sync 4 or any significant change, Then what is the purpose for an early model year? I'm really disappointed. Have been hopeful for a 2022 Model with Sync 4.
