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.

  Had ours only one week. It is solid, very quiet, comfortable and well built. Wanted one without the third seat; glad we couldnt find one now. The loss of storage space is negligible and gaining the seat has already come in handy. Filled up today for the first time; got 17 mpg on all city driving. Mileage will only get better, looking forward to getting this "Brute"-what my wife calls it-on the interstate.

  Nice vehicle all around, If you dont have one get one. Only 2 bad points, bad gas milage, and needs more horse power.

  Does what it does with style - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By rlupetin - August 2 - 2:00 am

  Our Mountaineer has already earned its keep by twice taking the family on ski trips, carrying building supplies from Home Depot, and doing daily chores. It also looks good when pulling up at a function. The gas mileage kind of stinks, but average for an SUV this size. A very nice alternative to its sister the Explorer. In fact, its like getting a Lincoln ride for a Ford price. The 4.6 engine has nice power and the ride is quite comfortable, even for long distances. The AWD makes shifting from dry to wet to ice to snow a no-brainer. Very happy with it.

  Outstanding Value! - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Happy Family of 4 - July 28 - 10:00 am

  Were very happy with the blend of performance, styling and the overall utility. The 4.6L aluminum V8 is much smoother than the 4.0L V6 and gas mileage is very similair. Go with the V8 if you are thinking about towing or if you are concerned about resale value. Nicer overall than many "upscale" imports we drove such as the Volvo XC90 (sluggish).

  not too bad not too good - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By not too bad - July 14 - 3:00 am

  overall i am not too impressed. i am glad i leased it and did not buy it. it is extremely poor on gas mileage. all the doors and trunk do not latch well. the keyless entry does not alwasy work. since the transmission recall my vehicle "needed" was done, it works worse. three car seats do not fit in the second row. heating system does not heat up fast enough, but the heated seated are awesome. rear speakers are terrible and tinny sounding. needs trunk release button in the vehicle (its only on the remote). mercury service stinks. I thought having a third row was a plus until I tried to get to it. BOTTOM LINE - I BOUGHT THIS AS A FAMILY VEHICLE --BAD CHOICE!!!

  By Mountaineer - July 1 - 10:00 am

  Bought this for my wife with 24k miles now it is up to 58k miles. Sure there have been a few things wrong but hey we got a warranty. I love the pwr and the ride this thing has when I drive it. It gives you a commanding feel of the road. It has road noise between 40 and 50. Also the rear window hatch cracked, you see it on a lot of Explorers and Mountaineers.
