The 2022 Lincoln Aviator is much more than a luxurious SUV. It also comes with plenty of utility, especially when you need to carry some serious cargo around Richmond, Mechanicsville, and Ashland, Virginia.
When properly equipped, the 2022 Lincoln Aviator has a towing capacity that can reach up to 5,600 pounds. How does it accomplish such strong capabilities? Our Richmond Lincoln team explains more about the Lincoln Aviator and its towing abilities below.
LINCOLN AVIATOR CONFIGURATIONS
The 2022 Lincoln Aviator maximum towing capacity reaches well over 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, regardless of the configuration you choose.
The vehicle comes powered by 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 engine that generates 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. This is enough power to tow 5,600 pounds with the standard rear-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive system and when properly equipped.
If you opt for the available plug-in hybrid powertrain, you will still be able to tow 5,600 pounds when properly equipped, thanks to this system's ability to create:
- 494 horsepower
- 630 lb-ft of torque
EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO TOW YOUR TRAILER
In order to tow with your 2022 Lincoln Aviator, you will need the available Trailer Tow Package. With this, the Lincoln Aviator is equipped with:
- 7-wire harness and 4-/7-pin connector
- Class IV hitch receiver
This package also features additional safety features to help with towing. This includes Trailer Sway Control to keep you moving steadily along while pulling your trailer, and Smart Trailer Tow, which will help you hitch up with ease.
Additionally, the available Class IV Trailer Tow Package includes a Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Coverage. This can help you know when it is clear to switch over into the other lane, even when towing a large trailer.
MORE CARGO CAPABILITIES
Beyond pulling along your gear behind the Lincoln Aviator, this SUV also gives you plenty of space inside to carry cargo.
Behind all three rows of seating, there is 18.3 cubic feet of cargo volume. This cargo volume expands up to 77.7 cubic feet when you fold down both rows of rear seating, which gives you room to pack up a range of supplies.
Even when you still need room for passengers, leave the second-row seats upright and still utilize 41.8 cubic feet of cargo volume. This way, you and the family can all comfortably fit inside while also having room for everything you need for your vacation.
You can also put the following on top of this Lincoln SUV by using the roof rack side rails:
- Bikes
- Christmas tree
- Other larger items
