akirby Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'm not sure if my dealer is supposed to call me after order is placed, and a confirmation order receipt to give me. So far, nothing since May 1. Your dealer is not supposed to do anything. Some will keep you updated but most won't unless you call and ask.

waltcmusic Posted May 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Anyway, enjoy the purchase and congrats on having made a choice. Thanks. Did you get the stalling fixed, by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltcmusic Posted May 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 One question on Lincoln Drive Control, will I get better highway MPG at "Comfort" or "Normal" mode? It's one of the two. I don't plan to use "Sport" mode, and I assume it gets the least MPG of the three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Lincoln Drive Control makes no difference in fuel mileage - it only controls the suspension. That’s different than putting the transmission into Sport mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKXMark Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Drive control has two settings for performance, Normal and Sport. Sport makes the trans holds the revs higher. You can make it stay in normal or go to Sport when pressing the S button (page 118 of the manual). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make it stay in normal or go to Sport when pressing the S button (page 118 of the manual). Not exactly true. Lincoln Drive Control only affects the suspension, steering, stability and traction control and throttle response. You can choose Comfort, Normal or Sport. The D or S mode is for the transmission and that is what holds revs higher in S - sport mode. You can choose which drive control mode is active in D or S but they are separate things.

waltcmusic Posted May 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Sport makes the trans holds the revs higher. Along with lower MPG since it's reving higher. I'm guessing comfort mode gets 1 MPG better than standard mode. I'll have to find out. Edited May 8, 2018 by waltcmusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltcmusic Posted May 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Who drives a Reserve or Black Label trim with standard 20" wheels? This one comes with AGS (Active Grille Shutters) standard, designed to improve 1-2 MPG on highway. Report your MPG here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 You're probably right. I guess I have to find out myself. Yes, please don't take our word for it. We've only been driving this generation MKX since its introduction in 2015. Nonetheless, we anxiously await your expert assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can choose which drive control mode is active in D or S but they are separate things. I think we're saying the same things. When mine is in D it's set for Comfort handling mode and Normal performance mode. In S, Sport handling mode and Sport performance mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In S, Sport handling mode and Sport performance mode. It's just semantics. D or S will indirectly activate the preset Lincoln Drive Control setting. But the Lincoln Drive Control setting itself does not put the transmission into Sport (S) mode. So it's really whether you select D or S on the transmission regardless of the LDC setting.

waltcmusic Posted May 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) Just curious, what's your opinion with Chroma Coulture Dark Brown exterior color? Do you like the color? I understand this is MKX Black Label exclusive color and more-popular than Chroma Copper. To me, the Chroma Dark Brown looks like Black, overall, whenever there's no sun shining at it, very classy, and never show its age. This Chroma Brown and Indugence theme pair well together going out to formal dinners for my lifetime. For 2019 Nautilus, Chroma Brown is being replaced to Chroma Red or Chroma Grey to match with new Gala theme.

I think the MKC was a BL with the Chroma Coulture Dark Brown. The best of the browns and black ;-) I am a Dark/Light and Light/Dark -- Exterior/Interior kinda guy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltcmusic Posted May 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 New 2019 Lincoln Nautilus Black Label "Gala" theme, shown with exclusive Chroma Red color with red Gala interior. To me, I think it's way uglier than MKX's Chroma Brown and Indulgence that I ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmos36 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) Those numbers are the same for my 2.7 Nano with 18" tires on a level road of 18 miles distance @ 50 MPH (following a shift into 6th gear at ~48 MPH). Caveat: I was running on one tire at 22 pounds of air...remaining three tires were at 35-36. Edited May 20, 2018 by Cosmos36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
