Love the feel I have when driving this vehicle...just want to keep it washed and clean all the time. Sound is great. It turns heads.

5th one, best yet

I have owned a 94 Explorer, 97 Mountaineer, 98 Mountaineer, 02 Mountaineer, and now an 04 Mountaineer, AWD Premier. Each has been better than the last, although the 94 is still running, and we sold it with 140,000 miles on it. Same transmission, engine, A/C still worked. 4WD had quit at about 110,000, and I never fixed it. The independent rear suspension offered since 02 is class leading, and only now are some of the other manufactures offering it. It improves handling dramatically, and allows for the 3rd seat to actually be functional and comfortable for an adult. The rear air, coming through the ceiling is extraordinary as well. Love the V-8 power. I still think it's the best value.

Rear End Defect

With only 2300 miles on my top of the line Mountaineer, that new car feeling disappeared when the rear end developed a vibration during low speed turns. The dealer determined that the rear differential had a manufacturing defect and the entire rear end was dissasembled and overhauled. The 2- month old truck was out of service for 6 days. We're a little nervous about future problems, but otherwise we enjoy the many features, the good looks and the roominess of our Mountaineer.

So far, a real good experience...Solidly built vehicle. Feel safe driving it. When my wife drives it, I don't worry for her safety.

Great Car

My last car was a Subaru Forester. Although fuel economy was better, the ride in the Mountaineer is vastly superior. Great for long trips. Was a little hesitant about the size of this car, but the comfort and convenience is a great change from the Forester. Will definitely be a repeat customer.
