Overview & Reviews
Mercury has overhauled their Mountaineer for model-year 2002 in an attempt to make it more car-like than ever before. Among the improvements are a 2.5-inch wider stance for improved handling and roominess, a new independent rear suspension that improves ride and handling, while at the same time accommodating a standard third row of seats, larger door openings with a lower step-in height, standard six-way power adjustable driver's seat and optional power adjustable pedals. With this year's redesign, Mercury is trying to further differentiate the Mountaineer from its look-alike cousin the Ford Explorer.
- Third-row seating, independent rear suspension, powerful engines, wide selection of convenience features, attractive new design inside and out.
- No Control Trac 4WD option, poor fuel economy with V8, unnecessary taillight protectors come standard.

Love my car - 2002 Mercury Mountaineer
By bubst - April 22 - 2:00 amWe looked at the Envoy XL but decided to go with the Mountineer due to safety and easy access to 3rd row. We are very happy with our choice. We bought the V8 and it has better acceleration than the Maxima we traded in. Storage area behind 3rd row is sufficient and easy to access. This is our first American car and so far the quality has been good.

Transmission Problems Again - 2002 Mercury Mountaineer
By OneThunderbird - April 6 - 9:36 amThis could be a good SUV if Mercury would fix know problems with the Transmission. Back to the dealer for the fourth time with OD Light flashing and Service Light on. Dealer claims it takes days to recieve parts and then after installing, the same problems return. Gas Mileage is awfull and paint failing. We no longer trust this SUV as it fails to shift and has stalled several times while in traffic.

Junk - 2002 Mercury Mountaineer
By Allstar - March 22 - 10:00 amLove the concept of this SUV. SUV performs well except gas milage. However we have had this SUV in the shop 9 times in one year. 3 times for seat belt clip. 3 times for air conditionier finally figured out the air compressor was leaking feron so they had to replace compressor. Check engine light keeps coming on. Door hinge on drivers side keeps coming loose and squeaking like a worn out car. Back hatch latch kept coming apart. Finally that was fixed. We are at the point now were we dont know what could happy next.
