Mercury Mountaineer Overview

The Mercury Mountaineer debuted in 1997 as a twin to the Ford Explorer. It is now in its third generation, which began with the 2006 model year; the chief change with this current generation is a new reinforced frame.

As is par for the course with its Ford counterparts, the Mercury branding gets a ramped-up interior and higher sticker price. In this case the 1997 Mountaineer had the distinction of a standard V8, whereas merely one of the Explorer's 10 trims that model year came with a V8.

That very first Mountaineer disappointed Mercury with its sales, as it really was not distinguishable from the lower-priced Explorer, so the bulk of the sales went to the Ford brand. So for the SUV's sophomore year, Mercury made some obvious exterior changes, such as flipping the front fascia, downsizing the headlights, and changing the wheels.

In 2002 a fold-flat seat for the third-row was introduced as a standard feature so the Mountaineer could compete in the 7-passenger bracket. Changes that came with the 2006 redesign included a made-over interior (seats, gauges, door handles, window switches), an independent rear suspension, more-capable brakes, and options for a 4.6-liter V8, 6-speed automatic transmission, and power-deployable running boards (as seen on the Lincoln Navigator).

Nothing did I dislike about this vehicle. I have owned it since 1999. I have never had to do any major work on it. I always kept up with scheduled maintainence. It has been an excellent vehicle and I would drive it anywhere right now.

This is a great looking suv. Very impressive. Drives extremely well and is great on the snow. Seats up to 8 people. Great for big families or for hauling anything. Front seats offer a lot of luxuries. From the heated seats to the dual climate controls. Great sounding stereo.

Love my 2008, has tons of space, is really comfortable. Gets pretty good gas mileage for a full size. Handles very good in all weather. Looks sharp, sporty and fun. Maintenance is about normal for any other car I've owned.

I got this car when i had a new born. The white color looks majestic and from the interiors it was great. It had many technology like power seats, blue tooth audio. USB lots of usb ports an also lots of chargers. good space to keep your documents. dash is also well designed with a compartment for navigation. Everything was good except 2. 1. the third row seats only kids below 4 feet can sit confortably. Also going to the 3 seats require the second row seats to be folded which is pain most of the time. I would have preferred some other elegant way
