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.

  By Charles Chrencik - February 7 - 6:03 pm

  comfortable and functional.. ride is firm but good.. Some wind noise over 60mph.. Controls are easy to read..Sound system is adaquate but not exceptional.. Fuel MPG is 17.5 city and 21Mph highway.. V-6 has enough power but can sound rough when pushed into high speed acceleration or passing gears..I am 64" and find the leg room good..Fit and finish are good with no major noted problems

  WHAT HAPPENED - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By K - February 7 - 11:16 am

  I bought my Mountaineer 10 months ago and I love it. It drives smooth and quite, but recently my car hesitates at stop signs and when shifting gears, so we know what that meant. I was hoping it would fix itself, but no. It started to make a loud vibrated jerking thud when shifting gears. I have 56k miles on it. In a matter of three days it became an inconveince to I wont drive and took it to the dealer I bought it from. The o/d light came on and was blinking. Not sure yet what the problem is but it is transmission related, whether electrical or hydrolic. I love the ride but I dont think I risk buying another Mercury:(

  Best bet as a Ford by-product - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By montaingirl - January 12 - 10:00 am

  Now this is a suv! Also, if the Aviator & Navigator are a little out of your price range this is the next best thing. I would change one thing -the gear shift should be on the lower console & it should be a digital dash -other then that & I Love this vehicle & will be re- purchasing when It is time . good luck shoppers & maybe by the time 4 a trade in the gas consumption will be much better. Then this would be the number 1 car -as far as I would be concerned.

  Excellent - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By acoleman - October 29 - 2:00 am

  We just bought our new Mountaineer and enjoy it alot. We bought a new one after our 1999 was totalled in an accident (in which it saved my life). I will always buy Moutaineers from now on. I feel very safe in this one with all of its safety features (side/front airbags, breakaway pedals in case of accident)and overall size.

  Mercurys Best Kept Secret - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By TexMax - October 29 - 2:00 am

  This is my second Mountaineer and I was really pleasantly surprised at the advances. This vehicle has a smooth quiet ride, plenty of power, does not sway or feel top heavy like some SUVs and Vans of the past. The third row seats are great for children , the pedal adjustments, traction control, back up sensors, plus the improved sound system give a sense of user friendliness, safety and security.

  Mercury Mountaineer Owner - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By charbrosgirl - October 19 - 10:00 am

  I bought my car 8 months ago and I am very pleased with it. I had previously owned a Grand Voyager so I have been accustomed to more space. However, I have easily adjusted to the versatility of my SUV. The third row seat offers me more flexibility in how I utilize my space. There are many things that I really like about my SUV. I love my automatic headlights and how my dashboard looks when it lights up at night. I also like the fact that I can get into the back without having to lift the whole door open. I basically get about 18mpg around town and 22mpg when I travel on the highway. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase.

  By Susan - September 30 - 9:50 pm

  Passenger windows on both sides wont go up and down. Been worked on, need more work apparently. Heated seats are fabulous. "Leather" on seats not holding up that well, showing wear and cracks. Runs great, no mechanical problems yet at 55,000 miles.

  This is a great vehicle that is fun to drive. It is easy to put passengers in the third seat. Everything works and has not been back to the dealer for anything.
