Would look MUCH better w/chrome rims
I've had this truck for 2 days. The moonroof is malfunctioning b/c of what my dealer attributes to, "Maybe this wasn't made for a DVD player." What? Huh? Ford charged a lot of $$ to install the DVD and he's now saying the DVD's causing my moonroof to not retract properly?! They sent a tech over to fix it. Of course, it worked right afterwards. Then it refused to open again in 3 hours. They said to bring it to the service center and they'd be able to fix the "problem" quickly. Yeah, right! Besides that problem, I hear an annoying rattling emanating from the DVD panel (situated on the interior middle roof). It's not TOO loud but certainly bothersome.
Surprised & Delighted
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.
Premier V8 w/2WD
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.
New Mountaineer
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
Does what it does with style
Our Mountaineer has already earned its keep by twice taking the family on ski trips, carrying building supplies from Home Depot, and doing daily chores. It also looks good when pulling up at a function. The gas mileage kind of stinks, but average for an SUV this size. A very nice alternative to its sister the Explorer. In fact, it's like getting a Lincoln ride for a Ford price. The 4.6 engine has nice power and the ride is quite comfortable, even for long distances. The AWD makes shifting from dry to wet to ice to snow a no-brainer. Very happy with it.
