Overview & Reviews

There are just a handful of changes on the 2007 Mercury Mountaineer. Most notably, side curtain airbags and an audio auxiliary input jack are standard on all models. A heated windshield is optional across the line, and the available rear entertainment system gets a larger 8-inch screen. Trim levels are simplified from three to two (base and Premier). Drivetrain warranty coverage increases to five years/60,000 miles.

• Smooth and composed ride, agile handling, upscale cabin with ample passenger room in all three rows, all major safety features are standard.

  Not bad, but needs improvements - 2007 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Hinrich - May 19 - 4:30 am

  We had our Mountaineer for 10 months and 15,000 miles and the experience has been mixed so far. Its our 5th Mountaineer and we love the overall package (exterior size vs. interior space), the powerful V8 engine and the features (Navigation system, great audio system). But we had issues and some couldnt be fixed yet. The 6-speed transmission shifts hards after accelerating from a standstill and was checked twice. Fit and finish is bad, body panels and doors needed adjustment. Fuel mileage is poor at best, we average 13.5 mpg in mixed driving. Handling is worse than with our 2004 Mountainer (18" Michelin tires, dont work well in snow either). Overall no big improvement to the 2004 model.

  Solid ride - 2007 Mercury Mountaineer
  By vusford1 - June 5 - 1:56 pm

  I mostly enjoy my new Mountaineer. It has pretty good comfort in all rows, has a smooth ride, and decent handling for a truck- based suv, however I do wish that fit and finish was a little better, as I have had some minor problems. Ford motor company quality control could be better

  2007 Mercury Mountaineer V8 AWD Premier - 2007 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Hinrich - October 17 - 4:00 am

  This is our 5th Mountaineer and not the best we had. Quite a few problems within the first 14,000 miles (check engine light on, 6-speed transmission shifting abrupt, airbag light on, bad body panel and door fit, rust on some body parts) required multiple dealer visits. The engine is powerful and more refined compared to the 2004 model we drove before. Gas mileage is bad, get about 14 MPG in mixed driving. Truck is comfortable except for a choppy ride over short bumps. Interior comfort is good with lots of space (Im 66" tall). Quality of some interior materials a step back from 2004 model.

  Not Satisfied - 2007 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Meg - September 30 - 2:30 pm

  This is the 3rd explorer/mountaineer in my family, and I am very disappointed. The first two were fabulous cars, hence I bought another one. It is 2.5 years old, 42,000 miles, and Ive had the following replaced (accident-free): tires, rims, shifter, radiator, intake fan, and belt. A new car should not need so many repairs especially when it is well maintained.
