[An Interesting Comparison]

Ok, well I'll guess I'll make do with Sync 3, It still has Birds Eye backup camera view etc, good enough.

So I guess I really want an Aviator Grand Touring still.   It's time to retire my 2015 Ford Explorer Sport

I just got a response from my Lincoln dealer:

 

"Hi Jon, I made a couple of calls and for the Aviator seeing how it came out in 2020 The Sync 4 won’t be available for this vehicle for a couple of years I am told"

 

(Ugh, Do you really think we will need to wait for 2023???)

My Aviator GT was built on Dec 5th last year and I've had zero issues so far, knock on wood!  The 2021 models should be even better but they won't be getting Sync 4 yet... that may not happen until a mid cycle refresh.

 

The all new updated Sync 4 system is going to be included on the 2021 Nautilus.

The Aviator still comes with the older Sync 3 system that's been out for many years already.   

Many of the new 2021 Ford come with Sync 4 as well, so it's a bit disappointing. 

I really hope the 2021 Aviator will get a Sync 4 mid cycle refresh (before the 2022 model is released at least) 

I just ordered a 2021 Aviator Black Label Grand Touring a few days ago, but I'm starting to think maybe I should wait for the mid cycle refresh or even 2022 to get what I really want.   (and get my deposit back if so)

Sync 4 will probably be around for at least 3-4 years before Sync 5, if it's a similar upgrade cycle Sync 3 was out.

Thoughts?    If I can't wait, would it make sense or be silly to lease a 2021 with Sync 3 sooner and then BUY the 2022 with Sync 4 next year?
