• Some low-grade materials, low resale value, confusing controls on highline models, poor fuel economy.

  nice ride - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By carrol - January 2 - 10:00 am

  I made the purchase of my Mountaineer after test-driving quite a few other SUVs. The ride is much superior to others in its same price range. Cornering is so much more stable. I am quite impressed overall.

  Its much better then a Jeep - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Tivler - December 1 - 2:00 am

  This is the 4th suv I have owned since 1990. The first two were Explorers which I loved. The next one was a Jeep which I had only for two years. I hated it. I could not stand going anywhere in it. I now own a 2004 Mountaineer. I love it. First of all it has a lot of room, its big but not huge. It is pretty easy backing into parking spaces. The turning radius is great. Another feature that make it worth the money is the all wheel drive. The only bad thing is that I noticed it uses more gas then my other 4 x 4s did. So far I have almost 3000 miles on it and I love driving it. I cant wait to take it on a road trip.

  GREAT SUV - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By deacon - November 21 - 10:00 am

  The vehicle has been performing vewry well. Great with fuel mileage for a SUV. Plenty of power with this V6, easy to drive, and handles very well on dry and slippery conditions.

  Excellent value vehicle - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Vickimac - October 31 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle has really surprised us. It handles superbly, rides great and the instruments are easily accessible. We originally looked at a Lincoln Aviator but when we test drove the Mountaineer it was very obvious that the Linclon just wasnt worth the added cost. The Mountaineer had an equally good ride, great looks and lots of room. We drove this across the country this summer and it was a real pleasure. Highly recommended

  Better than i expected - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Elaine Dillon - October 19 - 2:00 am

  We couldnt be more pleased with this car unless gas prices were less. It has an incredible amount of room. I enjoy so many of the features. I dont miss my Lexus 300 at all. I can see so well when i drive and I feel very safe driving it. We thought about a Lincoln Aviator or Navigator but after driving both and pricing both the choice was incredibly easy.

  Drops like a rock - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Dan5240 - October 19 - 2:00 am

  The vehicle is very comfortable and tows 5600 pounds whith very little trouble 6 cyl. The value of the vehicle is terrible. The resale dropped like a rock due to heavy dealer discounts on new vehicles. Also the rear glass has problems with the gas struts shooting off in hot weather.

  Bad Transmission - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Jack8351 - October 14 - 10:00 am

  My vehicle is actually a 2002 Mountaineer Premier. The transmission developed a stutter at 17,000 miles. It now has 63,000 miles and Ford has refused to take the vehicle back under the Lemon Law in my state. I would recommend the 4X4 or 4X2 Explorer, but NOT the AWD version of the 5 speed transmission.
