The Montaineer offers simple elegance in a hearty frame and body construction. It might not handle as softly as a hybrid SUV but then again many of those those vehicles are merely sedans-like undercarriages with a faux SUV looks.

We have owned a series of Ford SUV's ('96,'99,'02)and this new '04 Mountaineer is the most comfortable, smoothest riding one yet. Very pleased with the performance and mileage to date, and the deal from L-M was to our liking.The upgrade to leather seating and a few other small touches are a nice part of the Mercury package. Edmunds TMV was very helpful!

My overall opinion of the vechicle is that not only does it allow you to carry a lot of people or equipment, but it ride just like a car. Starting off with small car, and moving to a mountainneris a step thatI would get to at some point in my life and I did. I would always have a mountainner, a car that I love, and have the feeling of being safe and looking good in it is something sacred. For the first time after have the suv for 3 months I was actually not driving it, but I experienced a ride in the far back seat as a family member was driving and now I always want to sit back there. Its comfortable spacious and separate.
Great vehicle !

Bought vehicle in January 04. Looked at the Explorer also. Mercury has the interior nailed down. Got the V8, has lots of power. Much better than the Lexus 330 we test drove. The 330 is way over rated.

This is our 4th Mountaineer and it seems the best yet. All of them have been very very good, but this one is perfect so far. Not one defect or repair needed. Seems extraordinarily well put together. Love the performance of the engine too.

Researched and drove the Envoy, Highlander, Pilot, Endeavor, and Mountaineer. Simply put, I could not find a vehicle that had the options, performance, safety features, styling, and quality that the Mountaineer had to offer at a price under $35,000. This vehicle really tackles the toughest Wyoming snows while returning a very compliant, quiet ride.

I am very satisfied with the Mountaineer, during a recent trip to Colorado I was very pleased with the power of the V6 in mountain driving. The ride is very comfortable and the vehicle is pleasing to drive. I'm quite happy with the purchase of this vehicle.

I spent over a year driving and testing SUVs and finally decided on the Mountaineer. A geat decision! It's great to drive and comfortable for seven, although a bit of a climb to the back seat. After a month I enjoy as much as the first day.

My family and I bought the Mountaineer not to long ago and we have fallen in love with it. It has 3 rows of seating and gets good gas mileage for an SUV. It also handles like a car.This is probaly the best vehicle I have ever own or driven my only regret is that I didn't get a V8. My wife and I traded in an 99 Explorer that I was partial to, but we haven't regretted getting rid of it.

Currently have 3000 miles with no serious issues at all. Vehicle is very quiet riding and very good acceleration. The memory seats are very convenient as is the automatic exit positioning of the seat. There is one problem with the sunroom. At lower speeds ~ 20MPH, there is excessive pressure build up in the passenger compartment without any side windows down. Lowering a window or closing the sunroof to 1/2 eliminates the pressure. Overall, I really like this vehicle and would recommend it to anyone.
excellent vehicle!

We researched the midsized SUV's and test drove 6 different brands before settling on the Monutaineer. It had the best value for the price and so far we love it! Very fun to drive after only driving 2 door sedans in the past. Great bang for the buck. Standard options offered on base model are far better than Explorer, Jeep Grand Cherokee, GMC Envoy, and Trailblazer on their entry models.
great vehicle

The Mountainteer is truly a well designed mid sized sport utility which brings a lot of value to a flooded market of "wanna-be's". It seems to have all the basics and more for interior finishes and performs suprisingly agile for such a beefy design/capacity. Very happy Owner!

I have had a full year with this suv and have enjoyed it completely. This April my family and I drove to Walt Disney World which is over 1300 mile each way and I thought it would cost alot for gas but it was very good on gas much more than i would of guessed. i am very pleased with my suv and would tell my friends to buy one.
GREAT IN EVERY WAY!

The all wheel drive options is great, alot of people look at price such as the sister car the Explorer however once you take into consideration that the Mountaineer comes with the 3rd row seat standard, plus the all wheel drive which are both options on the Explorer, the vehicle handleing and suspension are even a larger upgrade over the Explorer. If you are looking for a sensible, reliable SUV that fits function and style look no futher than the Mercury Mountaineer.

I bought my car 8 months ago and I am very pleased with it. I had previously owned a Grand Voyager so I have been accustomed to more space. However, I have easily adjusted to the versatility of my SUV. The third row seat offers me more flexibility in how I utilize my space. There are many things that I really like about my SUV. I love my automatic headlights and how my dashboard looks when it lights up at night. I also like the fact that I can get into the back without having to lift the whole door open. I basically get about 18mpg around town and 22mpg when I travel on the highway. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase.

This is my second Mountaineer and I was really pleasantly surprised at the advances. This vehicle has a smooth quiet ride, plenty of power, does not sway or feel top heavy like some SUV's and Vans of the past. The third row seats are great for children , the pedal adjustments, traction control, back up sensors, plus the improved sound system give a sense of user friendliness, safety and security.

We just bought our new Mountaineer and enjoy it alot. We bought a new one after our 1999 was totalled in an accident (in which it saved my life). I will always buy Moutaineers from now on. I feel very safe in this one with all of its safety features (side/front airbags, breakaway pedals in case of accident)and overall size.
enjoy this vehicle

We pull a horse trailer and went from a Jeep Grand Cherokee V8. No comparison. The Mountaineer pulled better had a much nicer ride quiet and comfortable. The back up monitor is very helpful when it comes time to attach the trailer. Put the special mud flaps on from Mercury and they blend right in with the design. Looks great
Did they say we bought an Escalade?

We owned a 1998 Explorer for 5 years and we were very pleased with it. When it came time for a trade, we thought about a Mountaineer. The third row seat was one of the reasons we wanted to trade, and being standard was a plus for me. The in-dash CD changer is nice, frees up a ton of space in the console. I also like the independant rear suspension. The ride of the new Mountaineer is much smoother than the Explorer that it replaced. I love AWD.
Great acceleration

Driving this SUV is much better then the old chevy blazer, very roomy inside cabin, better gas milage then expected, even going from a V6 to the nice 4.6 V8. Great pickup, can't wait for the snow! Smooth ride, would like to take it off road, but the paint is still way too nice! Great build, check out the undercarrage.

Now this is a suv! Also, if the Aviator & Navigator are a little out of your price range this is the next best thing. I would change one thing -the gear shift should be on the lower console & it should be a digital dash -other then that & I Love this vehicle & will be re- purchasing when It is time . good luck shoppers & maybe by the time 4 a trade in the gas consumption will be much better. Then this would be the number 1 car -as far as I would be concerned.
A good buy!

If you want to buy an SUV with all of the power and features this is the one. I purchased mine after testing several different models including the Explorer. For the money I could not find an V-8 powered, all-wheel drive that was comprable in price. The third- row seat was also a great asset. I can tow a boat or a trailer with ease and the performance suprised the heck out of me. Zero to sixty is like a blink for this big SUV. I am glad I made this decision.

We've only owned our Mountaineer for 3 days, and it's our first SUV. We've already used it to haul a number of large items home, and we love the roominess, power, handling, and convenience of the vehicle. Compared to the minivans, other SUV's, and cross- over vehicles we looked at and drove (Buick Rendezvous, Nissan Murano, etc.), this vehicle is an incredible value, even before the free DVD system offered at the time!

I love the mountaineer. It's comfortable and has a smooth ride. The only problem that I've experienced is that the car wants to stall out in either cold or warm weather. The engine begins to rev up, the car lunges forward repeatedly,then proceeds to stall when I decelerate upon approaching a stop sign/light or into a turn. Eventually I have to put the car into park and give it a little gas to stop the revving. It's an intermmitent problem occuring a few times a month. I have had it looked at twice and they can't seem to find the problem. Today it is in the shop for an oil change, hopefully they can correct the problem.
What an improvement ! GES

Just traded in my 1998 Mountaneer V8 AWD, and the improvement in ride and on the road feel is immense. I even notice a slight increase in the interior width of the vehicle.The Body style is a knockout. I do believe that I notice a very slight improvement in Gas mileage over the 1998. It could just be my imagination because I like this one so much better.

Nice vehicle all around, If you dont have one get one. Only 2 bad points, bad gas milage, and needs more horse power.
