It is an all-electric vehicle, so it skips the oil changes, spark plugs and exhaust-system service of a combustion Aviator entirely. It is configured as part-time 4-wheel drive with an automatic (s10). The 2021 sits mid-run, with both earlier (2020) and later (2026) Aviator model years also documented.

Routine upkeep centers on tire rotation, DOT 4 brake fluid, Motorcraft Gold battery/cabin coolant, cabin air filters and brake service rather than engine oil.
