This Year's Model Updates:

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.

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

  • Twice the pleasure - 2007 Mercury Mountaineer
    By -

    This is my second mountaineer and I do tend to agree with most that my 2002 was better built, the engine was more powerful (v8) yet the fuel economy was good for such a big suv. With that said, I also love my 2007. I have done nothing but oil changes (66,000) and never had any kind of work on it. I have five kids of my own and also use it for work transporting kids and the interior (leather) cleans easily. No problems with any plastic parts inside its actually pretty solid.

  • Super Nice SUV - 2007 Mercury Mountaineer
    By -

    Have owned this 07 Mountaineer Premier for just two weeks (and 600 miles) but its already an irreplaceable member of the household. We like just about everything about the Mountaineer. Looks great (love the color - White Chocolate paint with two-tone tan leather interior - as well as the overall style) plus its very comfortable to drive and extremely stable on the road. We also like the fact that the 3rd row seats fold down flat into the floor at the touch of a button and will accommodate two full-grown adults in at least semi-comfort. We are very happy with our purchase. A great vehicle that Im sure we will enjoy for many years to come.

    The Mercury Mountaineer is a great suv the ride and handling is excellent the V8 power is superb and the comfort is great and from what i can see the leather and other interior materials are great quality and the navigation system is cool and the power moon roof and the Sirius Satellite Radio are awesome and the rear parking sensors come in handy when parallel parking and i am just really happy with my Mountaineer its been great so far not a problem and everything on it works great and its a great price for what you get mine was only $38,500 and the Honda Pilot with all the same equipment was over $40,000 so i got a great vehicle and a great deal i highly recommend the Mercury Mountaineer V8 ..

    Weve been SUV drivers forever, live in rural area, and this has been a nice surprise. Purchased this Mountaineer replacing our Ford Explorer that had 170,000 plus miles. Took it on its first road trip to the mountains for skiing and the comfort level was top notch. We are also impressed with the quiet ride this SUV has as opposed to our older Explorer. Average gas mileage on this 500 plus mile trip ranged between 18-22 mpg which is what we are used to with SUVs. Love having the reclining second row seats in this Mountaineer since we didnt have it on the Explorer. Cargo space was great for all our ski gear.

  • Love the Mountaineer - 2007 Mercury Mountaineer

    Really nice truck, pulls our boat well. Wish it had load leveling suspension though. Navigation system works well.

    I have nothing but good things to say about this SUV. It does all I need it do do with comfort and style! Value wise it is a great investment. I have had zero problems.

  • Not bad, but needs improvements - 2007 Mercury Mountaineer
    By -

    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.

  • Nice Looking Vehicle - 2007 Mercury Mountaineer
    By -

    Great vehicle except the retractable running boards, need grease fitting to lube joints. Super vehicle in the ice/snow. Had to have the transmission adjusted at 10k miles. Suggest Ford look at the transmission in these vehicles, does not shift smoothly at low speeds.

  • Best SUV on Market - 2007 Mercury Mountaineer
    By -

    We have owned this SUV for 2 years and have had absolutely no problems with it. It drives well both around town and on the highway. It is equally adept at towing a trailer or taking us out for a night on the town. If you need a car that gets over 30 mpg then get a Smart for 2. But if you need a vehicle that can do anything you ask of it then this is the one.

  • Member of the Family - 2007 Mercury Mountaineer

    We have had our Mountaineer since the middle of 2008. We could not be more satisfied. I have utilized every feature and function of this vehicle. Including the roof rack, Class II hitch, AWD, cargo area, child seating, etc., etc. We have 3 children all of which are able to fit in the second row, leaving the rear cargo area available. The stereo is strong, the power is sufficient, the gas mileage is fair for an SUV, it easily tows my boat, powers thru 12" of snow, is smooth on the highway, and is a joy to drive. Although our V-6 is far from a performance engine I find that is provides all the pep I need and is relatively quiet considering the size of the vehicle.
