A nicely appointed package

I traded in a 2001 Santa Fe for this and it is quite the upgrade. It is so well packed with features and the quality of the ride, quietness is great. It is smooth on the road with the 6 speed and it even has a gauge that tells you how effective your gas mileage is while your driving, so you can learn to get better. I love it.

I can say that I do like my new Mountaneer, but be warned have the dealership check out the instrument cluster before you leave. I bought mine with 23 miles on it, two days later it was in the shop having a new instrument cluster put in. Even having the new instrament cluster put in, they still had problems with it and it still sits there now after 4 days! Hopefully this will be the only problem I will have as I have always had good luck with Ford products.

My First SUV too

Wow, I was looking into a loaded Eddie Bauer and could not get the options that I was able to get with this 2006 Mountaineer. I have every option except the Quad seat (have three kids) and the DVD Family Ent. Center (no jacks for games). I was able to get "A" Plan plus extra incentives for owning a 1999 Sable (almost $4600.00 off), I could not be happier. This model year on the inside is a big improvement over 2005. The ride is quiet and relaxing.

Nice ride

We owned a 2003 explorer and never had a problem over the 60,000 miles we drove it for. Never let us down. As a result of this we decided to stay in the ford family. We priced the explorer loaded and the mercury mountaineer loaded. Much to our suprise the truck was about $2,000 less. It was a no brainer we went with the mountaineer. Overall the truck is quite an improvement over the 03 explorer, rides great, more comfortable, just nice all around. The only draw back is the fuel mileage. It could be better. With the explorer we got spoiled after I changed the fluids to full synthetic. With the explorer we got about 15 town, 23 highway. the Merc gets 11 town 18 highway.

Better than 2005 model

I traded a 2005 in on the 2006. The 2006 is a great improvement over the 2005. Even though they look almost the same, the 2006 is a much better SUV than the 2005 in every respect. I am very happy!
