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 rodriguez - February 2 - 2:00 am

  I have to admit the seat warmers are a great asset to the car. I will never go without it again. I love it! Its very roomy. The turning radius is excellent.Imformative onboard computer.Great road side assistance. Fuel economy is poor. Overall we are very happy with our purchase.

  Fun SUV - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Mark Saber - January 23 - 10:00 am

  I have had a full year with this suv and have enjoyed it completely. This April my family and I drove to Walt Disney World which is over 1300 mile each way and I thought it would cost alot for gas but it was very good on gas much more than i would of guessed. i am very pleased with my suv and would tell my friends to buy one.

  Impressive - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Tgroen - December 27 - 2:00 am

  The all wheel drive options is great, alot of people look at price such as the sister car the Explorer however once you take into consideration that the Mountaineer comes with the 3rd row seat standard, plus the all wheel drive which are both options on the Explorer, the vehicle handleing and suspension are even a larger upgrade over the Explorer. If you are looking for a sensible, reliable SUV that fits function and style look no futher than the Mercury Mountaineer.

  Mountaineer -Great Ride - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By ceil Rydzewski - December 1 - 8:43 pm

  The SUV has given me no problems.I tow a 2-horse trailer and it pulls great. Why have a truck when the comfort and tow is all in this car. I am about to buy a new one

  LOve it! - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By FrankiesMommy - October 23 - 10:00 am

  The whole truck is AWSOME! Even though gas is a bit much with city driving, it is well worth it. The extra space you get by lowering the 3rd row seat makes traveling and shopping a breeze!!!

  Smooth ride, great pick up - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By sandb - September 22 - 10:00 am

  Drove the Ford Explorer first then drove the Mountaineer. I was sold. Basically the same car, but much smoother ride due to the different suspension system. Powerful engine, surprisingly easy to manuver. Only issue so far is once in a while when I start the car and dont let it warm up (even on mild days) I threatens to stall when I stop at the bottom of the hill in my neighborhood. It lunges forward and repeatedly reves until I shift into Park then back into drive a few seconds later. I need to get that checked. Overall, I highly recommend this smooth driving, fun SUV

  Our 1st SUV - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By linwoodrascals - September 11 - 10:00 am

  This is our first SUV. This vehicle appears very large but actually is an inch shorter than our previous sedan. The interior is spacious and well appointed. The only change needed is a new location for the seat warmer switch. Its down on the side of the seat where it cant be seen or easily found by touch. My daily commute has been very enjoyable. The V6 provides adequate power. Merging and passing on the highway are no problem. Fuel economy has been better than expected averaging 18 mpg. Handling is predicable and secure. Parking is simple especially with the rear sensors. The cabin is quiet. The sound system with 6cd changer exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend this SUV.
