Overview & Reviews
Second-row bucket seats are available on Luxury and Premier models; a tire-pressure monitoring system is now standard on these models. The Advance Trac stability control system is a late-availability option on two-wheel-drive Mountaineers. The upgraded Audiophile sound system with in-dash CD changer is optional on Luxury models, while Convenience models no longer offer a cassette player. Finally, power-adjustable pedals are a new option on the Convenience model.
- 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 highline models, poor fuel economy.

Some what Dissapointed in NY - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
By Jose Orona - November 18 - 10:00 amI presently own a 2004 model purchased 4 weeks ago.I had a problem with the throttle body control that caused the car to shut down with Me and My family that includes My two year old daughter,and My eight year old nephew at 11:45PM, at night, on the Saw Mill River PKWY,in 40 degree weather.The road side assistance was horrible and left Us to fend for ourselves, to make it home back to Brooklyn 60 miles away.To top it off I had to pay for the tow, since they only covered 35 miles or nearest dealer.This is MY second Mercury product and it will be MY LAST.

Used to have a chevy blazer - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
By skipp98984 - November 13 - 10:00 amDriving this SUV is much better then the old chevy blazer, very roomy inside cabin, better gas milage then expected, even going from a V6 to the nice 4.6 V8. Great pickup, cant wait for the snow! Smooth ride, would like to take it off road, but the paint is still way too nice! Great build, check out the undercarrage.

Our 4th Mountaineer - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
By michele - October 24 - 10:00 amSerious vehicle. The 2004 has been completely re-styled and is better than ever. Top-quality look and feel. Great for families or sport enthusiasts - lots of room.

We like our Mountaineer - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
By JimmyD - August 25 - 5:06 pmWe traded in a brand new 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee for our Merc. Hated the Jeeps ride and lack of room. The Jeep left us with a backache on every trip. Glad to get rid of it. Looked at several other SUVs, but they were either too expensive, not roomy enough, or just plain over rated. We really like the Mountaineer. It has tons of room, and the ride is fine (for an SUV). Took a 9 hour trip recently without a backache. Mileage is average for a vehicle this size. Like all the bells and whistles, and got a good deal with a lot more value for the money. Salesman at Manuel Lincoln Mercury was really a nice guy, and we were happy with their treatment. So far, we are very happy with the car

The Best - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
By Phoenix - July 22 - 9:00 pmThis vehicle does its job better than any vehicle I had previously. I am able to haul anything and everything that I need as a musician with no complications. The performance is the best I have ever seen. My godfather is looking to get the same vehicle, just not the same year. The only flaw it has is the back applica on the liftgate. The quality of the material is shabby. It cracks on its own within the center of the applica around the emblem. Other than that, the vehicle is an excellent vehicle to have.

My Mountaineer - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
By Pookie - June 1 - 10:00 amThis SUV is not only powerfull, but comfortable. It drives like a car, but has great visibility. It looks very good both inside and out and gives a smooth ride.

So glad I bought this one - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
By mddd - May 26 - 10:00 amI am a physician with 2 small girls very concerned about safety and comfort for 2 car seats. This SUV is perfect for us. The dealership did a great job making the sale throwing in all of the options including V-8, luggage rack and tow kit. We would have taken the back seat captains chairs but this is inconvenient with 2 car seats. The ride and handling is stable-- I feel comfortable and safe even during the worst storms in Texas. My only complaint is the gas mileage (about 13.5 MPG), but I love the computer features-- even tells you how many miles you have left to drive on your gas tank.

Not my Grandpas Lincoln/Mercury - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
By LuvMyMountaineer - April 19 - 10:00 amPrior bad experience with another SUV, Lemon that was bought back by the Manufancturer. Skeptical but with hope I bought the Luxury v8 AWD Mountaineer. What a treat! There is nothing like having other kids ask for you to chaperone field trips over their parents BMW and Lexus. With the V8 and AWD, living in Alaska and winter time is simple as point and shoot. It goes everywhere! Hauls everything, and looks good doing it. Easy to see out even for my 5 foot tall wife. Adjustable pedals, heated seats, auto dimming rearview mirror, and seating for 7. Nothing like seperating the kids on a long drive to keep peace in the family.

If only the mileage - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
By Baciball - March 12 - 2:00 amIf onlythe milage were a little better, it would be the perfect vehicle. I get around 9 - 10 in the city, 18 on the highway. Other than that, there is nothing more that you could ask for. The vehicle rides superbly, handles great, and has excellent pick-up for those short on- ramps.
