At the tail, the liftgate is a two-piece design with the flip-up glass providing easy entry through the window.
In the spacious cabin, Aviator brings best-in-class headroom and legroom up front with three rows of seats and a choice on the second row of either a bench divided 40/20/40 or twin buckets.
The third-row bench for two folds flat into the floor to expand the cargo bay when unoccupied.
With second and third rows of seats folded down, the cargo capacity runs up to 77.3 cubic feet. Leave second row seatbacks upright and there's still more than 40 cubic feet of space, or with all seats in place, 12.4 cubic feet.
Two trim levels work on Aviator: Luxury and Premium. Both contain deluxe equipment like dual-zone climate controls plus an auxiliary climate system for riders behind the front seats, premium leather seats and burl walnut trim, power controls for windows and seats, cruise control and a premium sound system with CD and cassette decks.
The Premium edition piles on more gear: A deluxe sound kit with six-disc CD changer in the dash, the HID headlamps, and front seats with internal heating and cooling element. A power moonroof and DVD entertainment system are also offered.
Expect prices for Aviator to extend across the range from $40,000 to $48,000.
Pros: Plenty of room for passengers and cargo. Better styling that other offerings from Ford such as the Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer. Near-luxury appointments with lots of optional accesories to meet everyone's needs.
Cons: This vehicle is in the "gas guzzling" class of vehicles. Shoppers should think carefully about their "real" need for this class of vehicle. If you drive alone, this is not a product to consider.
