Lincoln 3rd Row SUVs at a Glance
South Dakota has questions about three-row luxury SUVs and our dealership has answers.
Which 3rd row SUV has the most room?

What is the most reliable 3rd row luxury SUV?
Although our staff here at Vern Eide Lincoln in Mitchell might be playing favorites with this answer, it’s hard to deny the reliability of Lincoln’s 3rd row SUVs. Both the 2021 Aviator and 2021 Navigator earned a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), while Aviator also earned a 2021 IIHS Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Additionally, both of these SUVs come available with either Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) or 4x4 Four-Wheel Drive, as well as Co-Pilot 360™ driver-assist technologies for maximum confidence behind the wheel.

Which luxury SUV has the best 3rd row seating?
