I have a 2004 Mountaineer and it currently has 248,000 miles on it. We have only done standard maintenance repairs on it- oil changes at 4000 miles, brakes, and one alternator. Other than that it has always kept us safe, kept driving us home and I never worried on long trips about it. I knew it would keep us all safe. We have driven to Florida, Niagara Falls, Ely, MN, SC and many other … trips. It has held many strollers and car seats with plenty of room. I love the back window hatch open you cant find that any more. They all have the whole door that opens now. Now that it is so old the problems we have had are the hydraulics on the hatch and back door stick. the AWD have locked a little now and the drive train is going. I am so sad to say good bye to my mountaineer! anyone thinking of buying one please do you will so happy and will get your money's work many times over. This vehicle has been paid for many years!
