I have owned and driven anything from a Hummer H2 to a Ford Escape, to an Acura MDX and I praise Ford's engineers for the work put into this SUV. I own a 2003 Mountaineer Premier AWD V8 with stock GoodYear Fortera HL tires and this truck performs incredibly. I have a heavy foot and the 4.6L V8 suits my every need. I own a 21 foot boat and the towing abilities are great! Also, being in NC means I enjoy the Outer Banks where I regularly take to the sandy beaches and have NEVER gotten stuck. Even without the Explorer's AdvanceTrac traction control, the Mountaineer's full-time All Wheel Drive performs admirably in virtually any situation. I simply love this truck... 200000+ miles and no issues!!

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 ORIGINALLY PICKED A NISSAN QUEST WHICH WAS NICE BUT IT SPENT MORE TIME IN THE SHOP THAN IN OUR DRIVE WAY. THE MOUNTAINEER WAS OUR NEXT CHOICE AND WE HIT THE JACKPOT. WE LOVE THE WAY IT RIDES AT ALL SPEEDS. THE OPTIONS ARE SUPERB. WE WISHED WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN 2-TONED PAINT WITH THE PREMIER PACKAGE, NOT A BIG SACRIFICE. 78MPH GOT US 17.5 MPG, NOY BAD WITH THE V-8 AWD MODEL. WE TRIED THE 6 CYLINDER AND DROVE IT 200 FEET AND RETURNED IT, THE V-8 IS A MUST!!. WITH A TON OF MONEY BACK FROM THE FACTORY AND A GREAT DEAL FROM THE DEALERSHIP, WE GRABBED A 38900 FOR 30500. WE OWN A USED CAR LOT AND IT IS A "SIN" TO BUY NEW, NOT ANY MORE!!
Good American SUV

This was a good vehicle no longer in production. A purchase of a used vehicle is a good choice,

Just like our 9 year old Explorer

The 2003 MTR replaced our lovable 95 Ltd Explore. This truck has the feel of my old Acuras that I enjoyed so much in terms of firmness in the interior. We took the 0% financing since we will keep for 6-10 years.The 4.6 is a VERY powerful engine. Fun to drive and the 3 kids love it too. They like it better than our 2001 Yukon XL.
