rmc523 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Odd that the Black Label Grand Touring doesn't get the 22" wheels, even optional. BUT. Seems like Black Label finally comes with everything (dynamic handling package is the only option on regular Black Labels, GT comes with everything).

fuzzymoomoo Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I know Ford is going for simplified ordering but I am still amazed that the Black Label isn't more configurable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like aluminum trim with light interior instead of the wood type configurable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or 1 or 2 more themes. It just seems to me that people who would want a Black Label would be a little pickier than the average Lincoln customer.

akirby Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Quite the contrary. People who are paying that much generally want all the features. The only exception might be the moonroof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I think most Black Label vehicles only have 3 or 4 themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that I didn't say it had the same drivetrain, just the same engine. And I didn't mean it in a negative way, I think it's fantastic.

chopsui Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Is anyone able to get the configurator to actually show the other interior color choices on the non-black label? It only shows the light color no matter which color I choose. Black label works fine and I'm able to see all three themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a mistake of the congigurator.. only are available the Black Label interior themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the "electric motor" is actually only 50 hp or say even less then 100hp it will not be able to move the Aviator around in electric only at any reasonable pace. I realize 1+1 does not equal 2 when you combine an ICE with electric. But how do we know they are not using the 365 hp version of the 3.0 with say a 150 hp electric motor to come up with the peak of 450 hp? Also curious as to what the exact difference is between the two 3.0's to cause the 35 hp gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief - all I meant was that ALL Aviators come with a 3.0L twin turbo engine including the base models which is great. I don't know what the electric motor output is but I do know that Ford isn't going to give you an EV only mode if the electric motor can't handle it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something they have to do, in any case, to qualify as an "electric" in China. It has to be able to function in electric-only mode for 50km, if I remember correctly.

.I. Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 What about this... Two tone paints are beautiful...I love it.

rmc523 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I think a vehicle has to be designed with two tone in mind for it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
