Mountaineer runs great, comfortable, fun to drive
Bought my 2007 in 2009 as it was previously a leased vehicle with 21 K miles. I have had it for 15 years, perform scheduled maintenance as recommended, and enjoy the comfortable ride and response of this vehicle. Transmission needed major repairs at about 90 K and vehicle is at 136 K with no problems. SUV looks great, good capacity and 16.3 mpg around town and 20.7 mpg on a trip. Great mileage on tires (65 K plus) and Ford batteries are the BEST! This is a great SUV and I can't figure our why Ford discontinued this model !!! I still have this Merc and I enjoy driving it every other day. It is a great SUV and I will not part with it. Just a Great comfortable, reliable, enjoyable ride !!!!

TERRIFYING TO DRIVE
Oh my god how could a car be so bad. Bought used in early 2011 with 34,000 miles around 65,000 miles it was leaking transmission fluid everywhere took it the best transmission mechanic in the area they sucked they charged us 3 grand for a rebuilt transmission.at 75,000 the trans started clunking when down shifting it was bad then the check engine light and a wrench (which means power train malfunction came on took it back it needs a new solenoid pack it was there for over a month not exaggerating a month took it home it did the same thing took it back and the solenoid was defective then replaced a rod in there too.In 2014 we traded for a beautiful Subaru Tribeca.
Kogt
I have owned the SUV for 6 months and love it. I am more impressed with it the more I drive it. Mileage is an honest 13 mpg in heavy city driving and getting slightly better as it gets miles. The mileage on the road is where it really shines, it is easy to get 19-22+ mph on the open road. Combined mileage has been a solid 16+ mpg for our type of driving. I love the performance of the V8 and the 6 speed is able to find the right gear when needed. The SUV is solid, quiet,and fun to drive. We own a 2000 Mustang GT 5 speed that we love and I am shocked that I find my self wanting to take the Mountaineer on trips where the road is twisty. The Mountaineer really handles nice, and just feels right.
Very Satisfied
This is the third SUV I have owned and am very satisfied with its ride and reliability. I can't say enough good things about this vechicle. I would definitely recommend it!
