Hi, I drive an 09 4x4 Eddie Bauer Ford Expedition.  Mine has the heated and cooled seats, and I love it.  I love the look of the new Lincoln MKT.  I sat in one on the showroom floor of our local Lincoln Dealership.  It is a very beautiful car, and I didn't know it was so quiet when you drive it.  You didn't mention the Sync, and the 911 assist.  One nice thing about the Ford product is:  you do not have to pay for the Onstar service.  The sync is free, and I like it that it calls 911 for me if my airbags go off, or I am hit from behind.  It is safety beyond words.  I have two kiddos, and I would seriously consider driving an MKT after reading your review!!!
