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.

  A good buy! - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Jay van - December 29 - 2:00 am

  If you want to buy an SUV with all of the power and features this is the one. I purchased mine after testing several different models including the Explorer. For the money I could not find an V-8 powered, all-wheel drive that was comprable in price. The third- row seat was also a great asset. I can tow a boat or a trailer with ease and the performance suprised the heck out of me. Zero to sixty is like a blink for this big SUV. I am glad I made this decision.

  Crazy about a Mercury - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Nhizname - November 27 - 12:46 am

  My first Mercury and I love it. This vehicle is over the top in every way. All the options at the cost is just crazy. Gas mileage is great for an SUV, getting 21 around town and average 26- 27 on the highway. Love the leather and all the storage. Easy to carry a bunch of stuff and love it by myself. Had a problem with the back door split when shutting but was easily replaced and never a problem since. I cannot say enough about this car. It is luxury all the way.

  excellent vehicle! - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Eric Knutson - September 23 - 10:00 am

  We researched the midsized SUVs and test drove 6 different brands before settling on the Monutaineer. It had the best value for the price and so far we love it! Very fun to drive after only driving 2 door sedans in the past. Great bang for the buck. Standard options offered on base model are far better than Explorer, Jeep Grand Cherokee, GMC Envoy, and Trailblazer on their entry models.

  Great vehicle - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By rapids man - August 12 - 10:00 am

  I am very satisfied with the Mountaineer, during a recent trip to Colorado I was very pleased with the power of the V6 in mountain driving. The ride is very comfortable and the vehicle is pleasing to drive. Im quite happy with the purchase of this vehicle.

  Premier Mountaineer - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Bud - August 4 - 12:36 am

  There has been an inherent problem with the drive train in this vehicle. Also, the vehicle gets terrible gas mileage, nothing near what was posted on the sticker. It has good power with the V8 engine and the ride is more like a car than a truck.

  So far, a real good experience...Solidly built vehicle. Feel safe driving it. When my wife drives it, I dont worry for her safety.

  Fully loaded included - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By bpmiller87 - March 18 - 9:10 pm

  I bought this car used and absolutely love it. In my opinion everyone thing is right where is should be. The stereo controls are easy to find, importants gauges or readings are located near each other, so you dont have to search for what you need to read. I have the optional v8 which is great for towing and will throw you back in your seat real quick! Leather comes standard, 3rd row comes standard, heated mirrors, tons of storage, it has it all and then more, great SUV.

  Buy it! - 2004 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Pj - February 16 - 10:00 am

  The strong point is the ride. I tried a number of high end SUVs and bought this one because of its superior ride. Very stylish for a SUV with comfortable front seats.
