Used 2001 Mercury Mountaineer AWD 4dr SUV (5.0L 8cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Bargain 2001 Mountaineer
We needed something to tow our boat and navigate Michigan winters. The 2001 Mountaineer was a bargain due to the intro. of the all new 2002 model. This truck was sold new in Oct. of 2000, so it had about 18 months of service. We were able to get a 5 year 75,000 mile warranty (from date of original delivery) so we have 3-4 more years of coverage due to the fact it was a 2001 vehicle still covered by the orignal factory warranty.
2001 Mercury Mountaineer
Having owned this for 6 months now, I'm very satisfied with the SUV's performance and quality. The only drawback has been the gas mileage which is extremely bad (5.0 liter engine and AWD). The overall ride comfort is good even though you should expect that this will ride like a truck....because essentially, it is. Cargo room is sufficient for most needs and the leg room between seats is satisfactory. The climate control feature works perfectly and in this particular model, the rear seat area can even control the climate. The one question most folks want to know following a review is usually, "would you buy it again"? My answer: most definitely.

Nice SUV
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.
Nice SUV
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
2001 Mercury Mountaineer
2001 Mercury Mountaineer. 5.0 v8 yes crappy gas mileage but come on its the 5.0 steel crank roller cam and GT40 heads. One of the best suvs I've ever owned. Bullitt proof. I've heard of transmission problems but never experienced them. 152000 mi and going strong. The tech in it was ahead of its time. Keep maintaned and it should serve you well. No complaints.
