Anybody have one of these? The wife found one that she likes and I’ve got them down $5K-$6K at this point to where I feel we’re close enough. They’re offering market value for our trade, so I’m good with that as well. Just looking to see if anyone has one and can tell me the good, bad, and ugly on them.

It’s the same as a Ford Explorer just with fancier trim for $20k more. Same platform.

The latest Explorers seem to be holding up rather well.
About 50 of 'em running around our little town and I rarely see one broke down at the Ford garage.

My sister in law has one and loves it. It’s loaded and pretty swanky if you’re into that kind of stuff.

Last summer our local Ford dealer had one on their lot.
Pimped out 2020 jet black beauty with 12k miles, $78k.
I think it was a hybrid.

The older ones had bad problems with the air ride suspension, don't know about the newer ones.

They are great until something breaks, then it take a NASA engineer to fix them. Just wait until they get some age on them.

FOR THE RECORD - I drive a stripped down truck. This is wife’s ride. No idea of your price point... but I would seriously look at the used Land Cruisers and Lexus GS 470s. Tanks and will hold future value way better than a Lincoln. Regular gas... who cares about MPG anymore. I am looking at them now myself... for my wife. Not that I trust Aytumen Akyildiz as a used car seller, but at $14k... a fair value it seems... 2007 Lexus GX 470
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Lincoln is probably second to only Land Rover I used to buy cars at the Adesa Auto Auction to drive and flip. Bought a Land Rover Freelander once... Went to change the oil and lots of chunks of metal came out in the oil pan... Spider cracking failure of aluminum pistons... WOW... just wow

Read up on the problems with the Ecoboost engine before purchase - especially the 1st Gen engines. Specifically the Aviators also have a long list of issues.
Do your research and have a Ford mechanic do a full inspection before purchase.
