Overview & Reviews
The AdvanceTrac stability control system has been improved with a new Roll Stability Control system and is now standard on all Mountaineers. A newly available Designer Series package includes suede interior trim, scuff plates and 17-inch chrome wheels. The roof rack has been redesigned, and now includes raised side rails. The 40/20/40-split second-row seat now has reclining outboard seats, and an eight-way power driver seat is available.
- Excellent ride and handling characteristics for a truck-based SUV, strong optional V8, comfortable cabin with user-friendly layout, good crash test scores.
- Some low-grade materials, low resale value, confusing controls on high-line models, lousy fuel economy.

contender for mid-size SUVs - 2005 Mercury Mountaineer
By Paul P - January 25 - 5:43 pmThis is a great vehicle for practical SUV usage. I am however disappointed that it has the lowest horsepower in its class. Standing at only 210??? GMC envoy has 270;priced evenly. I am pleased with the overall performance of the vehicle, however unimpressed with the gas mileage, averaging only 12.1 on the streets and 16.6 on the highway. Being a car connessieur, I would recommend this vehicle for family use, however if youre looking for power this is not the SUV to buy. Head over to GMC or Dodge if you are in the American market.
