Mine has a V-8 that gets 10-13 city / 17-20 hwy MPG.I added the Tornado to see if it would help(Very little). I have problems with the anti-theft not letting it start at times which is probably moisture related.I really wanted to buy a 2001 Aztek GT which was fully loaded but was afraid of the glitches of newer model productions.The Aztek was the same price.Even though this Mountaineer is certified.I wish I would have had it inspected at another dealer to have found the problems before I bought it.The dealer that sold it claimed it was checked over.Someone needs to be fired! "Dealer BS"

I bought this suv in 2013 with 151237 miles. Now she has 204118, the motor roars, tranny shifts on a dime, handles great. Driver seat has to have cover,Radio is junk ( CD player stopped ) lighting in dash is half out. Being 19 yrs. old she has new water pump,therm stat,radiator, both rear shackles , and front end work on both sides,Brakes all the way

Like the SUV, after almost 50,000 miles. Had persistent problems with noise in the front suspension at first. taken care of with nothing since. Have 6 cyl, 4.0 liter - gas mileage is great for a SUV. 22-26 hiway, 16-18 in city. We found that aspect just great

After researching different types of mid-size SUVs out there and reading different reviews I decided to purchase a used 2000 Mountaineer/Premier in deep wedgewood blue at a dealership near me. I had an AWD/Turbo sports car before and the Mountaineer AWD with the 5.0/V8 has all the power that I need. This SUV exceeded my expectations! It has the most comfort features than any other mid-size SUVs out there and the ride quality is excellent. I highly recommend this SUV.

After my wife totaled our Contour, it was time buy a SUV. We looked at the Explorers for the longest time. We couldn't find the right Eplorer without the ugly brown interior, so we started looking at Mountaineers. This is the one of the classiest looking SUVs on the road. Get all-wheel- drive!!! If you can't, get the limited- slip diff.
