Great vehicle, new rear suspension handles well, have had occasion to seat 6 or 7 passengers, all comfortable. Plenty of space for cargo, and we traded a T&C, but still satisfied. This is the wife's car, who really appreciates the height & forward view. Her favorite features are the back-up alarm and heated leather seats. I'm happy she liked a real truck, not a blown up wagon. Plenty of towing iron beautifully hidden behind rear bumper.

I wanted a 7 seater that could pull my 3000lb boat. I got the V8 with side curtain air bags and tow package, white pearlescent with tan interior.Everybody thinks it looks great. It is still not broken in but I am already getting 14 mpg around town and I have a heavy foot.The rear seat has lots of room and it is easy to enter .The transmission shifts beautifully and the V8 has lots of power.

i bought my 2002 mercury mountaineer used in January of 2009, Truck did good for 2 hours then the both the front wheel bearings went. Shortly after the dealership fixed this problems i was back in the shop again. The power steering pump went along with the rack and pinion. I have only purchased the mountaineer 2 weeks prior. I made it another month until the transmission blew out on my on the expressway. Took the dealership 10 days to rebuild my new transmission and it still shifts kinda funny. Now 5 months later and the front differential is beginning to go, thanks god for extended warranties! Word of advise for anyone buying this model, DON'T! Save yourself the trouble!

I see the 06 has tranmission problems, they started long before that, luckily I bought an extended warranty because the Mountaineer was in the shop every 3 months for 3 years. It got to the point where the mechanics would groan when they saw me walk in the door. If a manufacturer knows there is a long standing existing problem, they should fix it under warranty and not make the customer fight constantly. Don't plan to make my next vehicle a ford/mercury, too bad really because I come from a long line of ford dealers.
