Upgrade Gone Wrong

Previously, we had a 2007 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer, but after it was totaled in an accident, we went with the Mountaineer for a "touch of class" so to say. The exterior is a little give and take... Yeah, it's nice and all, but when you park next to the previous generation Mountaineer; there really is not much of a difference. The interior is alright... It has the same options as the Explorer. I just wish it had came with better color combinations. Not to mention, it drives practically the same. It's a little disappointing honestly, I bought this thinking it would be a step above the Explorer, but it's kind of a step below. Reliability wise, it's solid. But beware of a few electrical issues here and there.

This is my third Mountaineer (had a 2002 & 2005). They keep getting better. Fuel economy not a factor due to my low mileage - comfort, safety, traction in the snow, room to transport items and style, these are what counts to me and the Mountaineer is a 10 in all respects. Large lease discount from Ford makes this vehicle a great deal.

Money pit

Bought this vehicle at 52,000 miles in 2013. Pros: High ground clearance, handles pot holes, curbs, and other road hazards with impunity. Very stable in all weather conditions. Cons: Since then, it had a total transmission failure, more than a few problems with the engine cooling system, two expensive computer repairs, a broken heater blend door, and a few other repairs. The factory alloy wheels corroded, causing frequent tire pressure loss. At this point, it seems like we've replaced everything but the engine. Power is adequate, but gas mileage is around 12 MPG. If I had a do-over, I would have bought a different SUV.

Really nice truck, pulls our boat well. Wish it had load leveling suspension though. Navigation system works well.

Not Satisfied

This is the 3rd explorer/mountaineer in my family, and I am very disappointed. The first two were fabulous cars, hence I bought another one. It is 2.5 years old, 42,000 miles, and I've had the following replaced (accident-free): tires, rims, shifter, radiator, intake fan, and belt. A new car should not need so many repairs especially when it is well maintained.
