Traded a '97 mountaineer in for this one, as much due to the incentives offered as anything else. Have had a couple of issues with the transmission that have been handled under warrantee (slipping and noise), took 4 visits to get the work completed. Flaw in the paint on the roof, a purple color, that is under the clear coat. Dealer offered NO solution, short of disassembly of the entire ceiling interior and removal of the sunroof so the roof could be repainted. Body shop manager said personally she would NOT do this. Purple paint is still there.

I'VE HAD MINE FOR 2 YEARS AND PICKED IT OVER THE EXPEDITION - GLAD I DID. I WILL TRADE FOR A NEW ONE IF THIS ONE EVER WEARS OUT. BEST CAR I'VE HAD IN 35 YEARS!

This SUV is wonderful on trips. Took a trip south and averaged 23.5 MPG highway. In town driving I get 18-19 MPG I have owned several SUV's, 1 Chevrolet Blazer and 2 Ford Explorers...this Mountaineer will dance circles around anyone of them. I am very satisfied with the performace and comfort of this SUV.

We have had our Mountaineer eleven months and have over 13,000 miles on it and we just love it. It handles amazingly great in the snow and anywhere. The turning radius is wonderful. The mileage could be a little better, but guess it's just as good as or better than some other SUVs. At this time we would buy it again if we were in the market for it.
