Review
Purchased my first 97 5.0L AWD off the floor. Had no idea how great it was to be. Drove it daily mostly hwy until I donated with 334K. Only major issue ever was a transfer case at about 200K. Normal wear and tear like rotars, pads and a couple alternaters. Changed the oil every 6 or 7K! Found a second 2001 model with 50K in 2005. Still using it as daily with 304K! Ford fixed the transfer case problem after 1998 so no issues at all with this one. Rotars, front barings one alternator and thats it. Better half got tired of looking at it so today I went out to look at F150's. Came across a 2000 model Mountaineer with 102K like new. Pick it up from the dealer in 2 days. BEST in snow and towing 2.

I bought my 2001 Monterrey mountaineer 3- 4 years ago. Had 50,000 miles when bought as 2nd owner now has 83,000 and running strong. Love the pwr. sunroof, 5.0 v8 power, interior is great, looks good going by. Never had a problem,routine maintenance (oil,brakes,rotors) The AWD is great and handles Ohio snow's without a problem. Had a 2000 GMC Jimmy-lets see. 2 computer's, 4 alternators, 1 starter, electrical problems that would stall vehicle (once in Tennessee), transmission x2. Upgraded to this Mountaineer-no regrets at all.

I purchased my 2001 Mountaineer with used with 91000 miles on it. This was a 1 owner vehicle and i have not had any real major problems with it. The only thing that i have had to do was replace the ball joints at 103000. This SUV is great in the Winter time and I like driving it. I am thinking about upgrading this to a 2004. i would recomend this SUV to anyone who is looking

I just purchased my 2001 Mountaineer about 2 months ago, and I love it. So far I love the 5.0 V8 lots of power, love the leather seats, power moonroof, the way it handles, and just the overall vehicle. Mine has 55,000 miles on it and sure there will be plenty more fun miles. Tows my trailer and family just fine. Downfalls are the display on radio (easy fix) and the gas mileage, but you are driving an AWD SUV. Gets about 15 in town and 20-22 mpg highway, still better than my Jimmy (and it was a V6). I am very satisfied with this vehicle so far, will buy another one when time.

After driving various sedans and sports
cars for the last 12 years, this is a
refreshing luxury. The ability to jump
into any traffic & be able to merge
seamlessly is a pleasure. I also like
to be high up to see all the traffic
around me. This also offers me the
ability to haul all of my clients & all
our stuff.

I have been very pleased with this SUV. I
have owned a number of trucks in the past
and this one by far is the most comfortable
one yet. Because of its relationship to the
Explorer, you are able to find many parts to
upgrade mechanical and appearance.

I bought it as an excutive car with 10k
on it. I have put 16k on it since then.
Considering that it's awd, it has
worked well both on steep mountain rocky
trails in northern Arizona and in sane
in the desert.I do a lot of hunting and
get off road frequently. It could do a
little better on gas (getting 14 to 18).
Other than that, I have not had any
problems with it.

I recently purchased this vehicle and
even though I have only had it a short
while I am pretty pleased. This is my
first SUV and it is a nice change after
driving a Toyota Corolla for three
years. I love the leather seats and all
the cool gadgets like service updates
and the mileage updates.
