I'm just writing to tell everyone, how much I love my Mountaineer. I bought it used with 49,000 miles on it. I only have 2 things that bother me. The crack on the back liftgate with I found is a common problem with them. Had issues with it stalling in reverse. Took to dealer and they couldn't find a problem, and couldn't help because the check engine light didn't come on. So I visited many other sites and found that others had the same issue. One guy suggested putting dry gas in it when you fill it. Well, we put the dry gas in it at everyfill up and it hasn't done it since.

The only problems I can report are 1. Transmission clunks into gear 2. When very very cold the heater doesn't come on for some time (i.e. 10 to 15 minutes)

We have taken our new Mountaineer on 2 long trips and a few short trips within the first two months of purchase. We have thoroughly enjoyed the drives in terms of comfort and handling. The interior has a nice luxurious feel and I have had the most comfortable ride experience in my life for long trips. The highway mileage was not too bad for an SUV averaging 21 MPG.
A Great Ride.

I have been very pleased with the ride, handling and performance of my Mountaineer, for an SUV. Fuel economy is great for the class of SUV it is in. I routinely get 19-21 MPG highway. My only gripe at all was with the design of the rear storage compartment. It should be able to go flat and not be on a slant. Aside from that minor beef it has given me 36K miles of outstanding service.
Love my Mountaineer for the most part!

I have had My Mountaineer for quite a while and Love it! I have only had to replace ball joints and Put new tires on it (standard maintenance). This vehicle is such a workhorse and handles great in all weather situations! The fuel economy is awful though, (only about 13-15 combined). Overall I have been pleased with this truck. The only complaint I have is that the interior quality could be better. The truck has 110,000 miles and does tend to have some minor rattles, but not too bad, other cars I have had don't generally start to rattle until much later, but hey It's a Ford not a Mercedes!
