Lincoln Aviator 2003-2005 Specifications

The 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator is equipped with a single engine option: a 4.6L V8 engine producing 302 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. This engine is designed for smooth power delivery and strong towing capabilities, making it ideal for both city driving and heavy-duty use.

The Aviator comes standard with a 5-speed automatic transmission, which provides smooth shifts and optimized fuel efficiency. This transmission includes a tow/haul mode for improved performance when towing or carrying heavy loads.

The Aviator includes standard safety features such as dual-stage front airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), and a tire pressure monitoring system. Optional features include side-curtain airbags, a reverse sensing system, and AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control (RSC) for enhanced stability.

The Aviator achieves an EPA-estimated 13 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway. This is comparable to other mid-size luxury SUVs of the era, such as the BMW X5 and Lexus GX 470, which offer similar fuel efficiency.

Lincoln recommends an oil change every 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Other maintenance tasks, such as tire rotation, brake inspection, and fluid checks, should be performed every 10,000 miles. Refer to the owner's manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.

The Aviator offers a range of standard and optional features, including leather upholstery, a power moonroof, a premium sound system, and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system. Higher trims include luxury upgrades such as heated and cooled front seats, a navigation system, and adaptive headlights.

The Aviator provides seating for up to seven passengers and offers 14.1 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. With the rear seats folded, cargo capacity expands to 81.7 cubic feet. This is competitive with vehicles like the Acura MDX and Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
