My third Mountaineer

Great work horse. Very little maintenance required. The transmission is completely sealed so there is no maintenance on that. This SUV is a base model. My first and second were luxury editions with all the bells and whistles. I missed those features on this one although I could play my music from my iPhone via a jack.

Nice Looking Vehicle

Great vehicle except the retractable running boards, need grease fitting to lube joints. Super vehicle in the ice/snow. Had to have the transmission adjusted at 10k miles. Suggest Ford look at the transmission in these vehicles, does not shift smoothly at low speeds.

Great used car purchase

We bought this car 2 years ago and I couldn’t be happier. Great family hauler with the third row seats. Great AWD system that cuts through Michigan winters with ease. Only abnormal repairs were thermostat housing and fuel rail pressure sensor so far. Why ford made the thermostat housing out of plastic?! pretty dumb but luckily there is an aftermarket aluminum one I replaced it with. I’ll never have to worry about it leaking again. Changing the fuel rail pressure sensor gave me a chance to also clean the intake and a full time-up with ease (plugs, wires, coil pack etc.). It just hit 100k miles and still runs and drives like new. We take a trip to Florida every year it’s a dream to drive.

2010 Mercury Mountaineer bought 2 1/2 years ago with about 60k miles on it. I love how the 3rd row seats fold into the floor with a push of a button. I like the height, and my 90 year old friend can get in and out of the passenger seat without a step, with assistance. I have a toddler and it was nice not having to bed into a car to strap him into a car seat. The 3rd row seat is apparently pretty uncomfortable, and isn't easily accessible. It's ok for short trips on rare occasion. It got me around in hilly/rainy Pacific NW for 2 1/2 years without major repairs, until a couple months ago, at about 79000 miles. No accidents (only off-roading has been driveways). Despite routine maintenance, we've had to completely replace both the brake system and the power transfer case (total: about $5k), both destroyed due to the fluids inside leaking out. The thermostat, a hub, and the Navigation system have needed work or replacement as well. Every winter I've has to have a tube flushed due to debris (pine needles and such) coming in through the sunroof , causing rain in the car coming from the light console. (said indoor rain has killed a couple of my personal electronics). The Nav isn't user friendly anyway, I ended up using my phone most of the time anyway before it broke (or disconnected in the wiring?.. we're working on that problem now). Now I realize my descriptions may not be the most accurate, but my mechanic hubby understood and agreed with all the repairs, and has fixed some of it himself) If somehow it has very few miles on it I would say to get it, but otherwise I own a 6 yr old car with a lack of power that's required major repairs (that don't usually happen to cars under a decade old).

We upgraded from our 2005 mountaineer to the 2010 mountaineer premier v8 AWD! It's beautiful black with the polished aluminum wheels and black interior.
