The best Mountaineer your money can buy rewards you for stretching your checkbook mainly by giving you a 4.6-liter three-valve SOHC V8. This sizeable power source delivers 292 horsepower and 300 lb.-ft. of torque; when properly equipped it can pull 7,130 pounds.
It's not a huge engine, really, for an SUV of this size. That's a good thing, as along with its 6-speed automatic transmission it affords acceptable fuel economy: 15 mpg city and 21 highway.
Comforts and conveniences are many on the Premier V8. You'll get these goodies standard: leather seats, the Reverse Sensing System, separate climate controls for second row, an upgraded Audiophile Sound System with 6-CD changer (in-dash, of course), and a universal garage-door opener. On the exterior, the list features power heated side mirrors, running boards, and 18-inch chrome wheels.
If all that is not enough, you may add heated front-row seats, a power-deployable feature on the running boards, roof rails (black), power-adjustable pedals, Sirius Satellite Radio, and the Rear-Seat Entertainment System. Grouped options consists of the Quad Seats Package, which adds a center console to the second row, the self-explanatory Navigation and Moonroof Package, and the Class III/IV Trailer Tow Package.
The results from government crash-testing will put prospective Mountaineer buyers at ease; the NHTSA awarded the Mountaineer a full 5 stars in all tests except for the Rollover Test, in which it scored a mere 3 stars. In the IIHS Frontal Offset Crash Test the vehicle received highest-level rankings across the board.
