Very happy with this truck so far. 101k and counting, I bought it used and was definately a good deal. The market is flooded with explorer's which hurts the Mounty's value as well, so you can get quite a deal.
190k miles and still going strong...

I purchased this vehicle new in 1996. It currently has 191,000 miles and my wife drives it to work. I am in sales and put a lot of miles on it initially. The only mechanical problem we have had is a cracked manifold at about 160,000 miles which would be expected. We have only performed standard and preventative maintenance. I wouldn't trade this type of car experience for anything.

Outstanding comfort, driver friendliness, with great curb appeal and fantastic reliability. Handles very well even with heavy trailer loads or on dirt roads. Lots of pep with V8 engine and excellent fuel economy for its size and weight averaging better than 17 mpg for over 11 years. Excellent access to trunk area with large storage capacity.
Real nice truck

I own it for a year now. No complaints at all. I drove a few other SUVs, and I couldn't help but love the Mountaineer, and it does NOT feel like an Explorer. The performace of the 5.0L engine is excellent. I own a 5.0 Mustang with over 180k mile on it, and I am confident that this is a great powerplant. The interior is very ergonomic and comfortable for long rides. The anti-lock brakes came in handy a few times. The ride is extremelly comfortable, but the solid rear axle reminds you of it's existence over unveven roads. I am getting about 20MPG on long rides, and about 17 aroung the city.
Great Vehicle

This is an awesome vehicle. It drives great, is comfortable , great stereo , LOVE the sunroof. This was my first car and I only paid $500 for it, it needed a new head gasket and a few other fixes which cost me about $300 and it was up and running great. I love how you can set your lights to come on by themselves when it is dark out
