Best SUV I ever owned

Very solid, safe well mannered vechicle. A real pleasure to drive on a long trip. We got up to 24 mpg, average 21-22 on long trips. Mileage varies depending on the brand of fuel you buy. Yes it does make a difference, I proved it to myself. I am curious though to see how well the AWD works as we will be going off road [within reason don't expect it to beat the trails I take with my Jeep] in Arizona this fall.

This is truly a great SUV. It handles great is reliable and fun to drive but most important it is very versatile from carrying up to 7 passengers to haling a lot of stuff (84 cu.ft.) and I have done both. The high ground clearance makes back road travel a breeze without worry of going over a rock in the road doing damage.

We've been SUV drivers forever, live in rural area, and this has been a nice surprise. Purchased this Mountaineer replacing our Ford Explorer that had 170,000 plus miles. Took it on it's first road trip to the mountains for skiing and the comfort level was top notch. We are also impressed with the quiet ride this SUV has as opposed to our older Explorer. Average gas mileage on this 500 plus mile trip ranged between 18-22 mpg which is what we are used to with SUV's. Love having the reclining second row seats in this Mountaineer since we didn't have it on the Explorer. Cargo space was great for all our ski gear.

2007 Mounty premiere

Bought mine with 85000 and now have 168000 miles. Just oil changes, and normal maintenance. An engine that’s totally reliable, Runs great and only had to replace e heater hose and front wheel bearing. Had I bought a new car in 2016 I would have paid $14,000 to this point in payments . My maintenance on the Mounty with tires and all normal maintenance is less that $4000. That’s value in my book

My 07 Mountaineer Premier is the best vehicle I've ever had. 233k miles and takes off on the freeways quick. Smooth ride and mu truck lasts perfectly through all 4 seasons. Phenomenal Truck
