We love the room, the ride, the v8 power, the appearance, and we know from the past that we will love the AWD. The MPG is acceptable for an AWD mid-size SUV. We test drove the vehicle on a bright sunny day 98 F and heard no rattles or noises, but took delivery in the evening after sundown, temp 71F. On the way home the upper console started making an annoying noise when we hit seams in the road. We made 2 visits to fix the problem. Another Mountaineer that hadn't been prepped did the same thing, as did the 08 Explorer Rental. Service manager said that if more than 2 do the same, then Ford would say they're built that way. Excuse me? Dealer put foam in that area. Problem solved for now?
Beautiful gas hog :-)

My all wheel drive 2008 Mountaineer with the chrome package and tow package is great I have absolutely no complaints very little repairs and handles well but very difficult to drive in the city and get over 7 miles a gallon highway mileage is better but I'm glad gas at the moment is down to two to $3 a gallon!!

We are original owners of 2008 Premier and love it. No rust, no damage, no repairs. We change oil and battery regularly and it runs and looks like new.
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.
LUV MY MOUNTAINEER!

I bought my car used. It’s a better than Premium package Premium model. Leather seats, Sunroof, Power everything, including the third row. Very comfortable ride. I was happy to discover it has a five star crash test rating!! I’ve replaced the suspension, brakes, and gave it a complete tuneup including new ECR unit so it will last a VERY LONG TIME! I drive to Washington with my two dogs and averaged 22 mpg on the Hwy. It’s a keeper.
