Bought used with 90000 on it. Now has 168000. Had to put a new head gasket on a few years ago, and new froont wheel hubs. Took the family to OBX, and put a thousand miles on in 4 days. Held up great. Will run it until it won't go anymore. Rides smooth, interior is comfortable. Wife loves it. Family loves it.

I was concerned abou the upgrade from the 1997 Mountaineer to the 2004 version as the size was larger and my initial reaction was that it was a moving living room. Quickly i realized the comfort, safety ease of handling and feel in love with this marvelous machine

This is a great vehicle for practical SUV usage. I am however disappointed that it has the lowest horsepower in its class. Standing at only 210??? GMC envoy has 270;priced evenly. I am pleased with the overall performance of the vehicle, however unimpressed with the gas mileage, averaging only 12.1 on the streets and 16.6 on the highway. Being a car connessieur, I would recommend this vehicle for family use, however if you're looking for power this is not the SUV to buy. Head over to GMC or Dodge if you are in the American market.

We just traded in a Mercury Grand Marquis in April, 2004. I like the Mountainer for the reliability and the safety. I like sitting up higher when driving than you would if driving a car. One feature I feel they could improve on would be the locations of the switches for adjustments of front seats. Why not put them on doors like the Marquis do? Plus there could be more head room in the front seat area. I have noticed taller people close to top interior. Overall I have enjoyed the Mountaineer and it is likely we will keep this one for a few years.

A trouble-free SUV that does everything well. My only complaint are the cheap leather seats.
