Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryThe Ford Explorer appeals for its ability to haul the family while also towing a trailer. Its rear-wheel-drive (RWD) platform gives it a sporty character for a three-row SUV, and the top models are powerful. As a gilded version of the Explorer, the Lincoln Aviator keeps the Ford’s more potent optional engine while introducing far more interior quality and luxury. However, like other Lincolns, it sacrifices sportiness for a comfortable ride. Verdict: The Ford Explorer’s towing capability and interior space are appealing. But for buyers who want a more comfortable and relaxing cabin as well as more tech and style, the Lincoln Aviator is the step-up choice. Buyers who opt for the Dynamic Handling package can recapture some of the Ford’s body control, too. | |
