I just love my mountaineer. It has the 5.0 mustang engine I love only better because it's a all wheel drive truck, that never gets stuck. It Rocks!!

I just got the rig 2 weeks ago, but this is my 3rd in 15 years. It had 161,000 miles on it, and is was well kept, very clean, and the engine (5.0 V8) and drivetrain were looked like 60- 75,000 miles newer then they are. It came fully loaded with power everything, moonroof, MACH sound system, leather, and much more. Only thing I have to fix is the radio display (very common problem, very easy fix). All in all, these SUVs are the best of the best and even at high miles, you can find great buys.

This is an excellent vehicle. I like it so well, I recently purchased a 2002 model. Very tough and reliable. An excellent value for the price.

Not that anyone cares on this old of a SUV but, has been an excellant SUV in 10 yrs and 155000 miles. One radiator, a spring and piston($300) in tranny repair,driver door mechanism ($300) Have maintained it well oil at 3k miles, etc. V8 just never fails AWD great on snow. Have the normal problems lost radio display, never fixed, and driver seat lever broke off - never repaired as set for me and wife drives a car. Fourth ford I have owned others great also. Only negative is gas mileage 20-21 on highway but normal for a V-8 SUV

Got my SUV a little over 100,000 miles. No major repairs outside of wear and tare. Great tranny and engine. Gas prices do suck. Some issues with the doors and windows but I also live in Iowa.
