Mercury Mountaineer

This is a great car. I love all the features I recieved with it. It came from a great seller that described the car honestly. I would recommed buying a Mercury Mountaineer from this seller or any other car you would be interested in.

This is a great truck for the "weekend warrior" out there that likes to head to the northwoods, fishing, canoeing, camping and hunting. Need a nice truck with excellent towing capabilities.....this is the truck. Comes with the 5.0L V-8 that is the same motor that came in the "beefed up" Mustangs and let me tell you....this motor packs a punch. Lots of room for the family. Great layout for the controls. All around great SUV.

This 2006 truck rides better than many cars; very quiet, very little body roll, and has all the latest safety features. I have owned two Explorers previously and put an average 180,000 miles on them, so I am hoping for the same reliability from its twin the mountaineer. The fit and finish of this truck is better than Explorer. The truck feels solid. I do hate that they welded a 1 1/4" hitch to the frame as I have to add a 2" hitch under it and it will not look as neat. This setup with the standard 355 ratio gears previously towed my boat and trailer rig with no problems. Upgrading to 373 gears and a engine cooler is a low cost job if mountain towing. So I would look for the best price and do get a 2006 or newer truck for the redesigned frame and improved ride. You can get the truck with the factory towing and 2" hitch but this was the most truck for the price at the time. Trailer prep with 1 1/4" hitch is not the same as trailer tow and many dealers misrepresent the two so be aware. Good hunting oh and do check Carfacts and/or autocheck car reports. You have 30 days under ebay policy to file a claim for excessive undisclosed engine and train repairs or fraud. So do get the vehicle checked out by a mechanic ASAP.

we sit up high,looks great and its not to bad on gas.it has just 80,000 miles on it and i got it for $3,355 and its loaded.not bad!it does have AWD with a V-8 so it will haul almost anything,the bad thing is that my wife is always driving it i get the mini-van.

Haven't had this long - just a month now, but it is great so far. Third row and DVD player with wireless headphones is great for the family and friends. Heated leather, sunroof, all wheel drive and 6 disc changer are excellent amenities for the driver and passenger. After we got it and found out about the bonus back-up sensors and flex fuel option we were all the more impressed. Haven't really found anything yet to be unhappy about, if I had to complain about something, I'd say I can hear too much road noise from the passenger door area. Very happy with the deal we got hear on Ebay - my brother is now looking for something similar.

P.S. - Getting 13.8 MPG in the city with regular fuel - definitely less MPG with flex E85, I think it was about 12 or 13 MPG on the highway.

Some people might question the logic of buying an 8 year old vehicle but with the price of new ones, used simply makes more sense. The 1995 - 2001 Explorer / Mountaineer is the 2nd generation and as a result, some potential buyers opt to go for the newer styling of the 2002+ models - different body style and some improvements but overall, the 2nd generation is pretty bullet-proof if you look at the forums and see what experience others have had with them. The 5.0L engine is a work horse and very reliable. I was a little worried about gas mileage based on other reports but if you are sane in your driving habits, it is not bad. I've been averaging a tad better than 16.5 around town which is better than what I did get on my F-150 XLT with the 4.2L V6.

There are some known issues with the truck and most are covered in detail on the forums that cater to the Explorer and the Mountaineer along with simple, cost effective fixes for them. The truck is extremely comfortable with the leather interior - the family really likes to ride in it (unlike my F150).

Overall, for what you can get one for, you can't go wrong. I was able to find one with under 56,000 miles and based on what others report, it is just getting broken in. No payments and a dependable truck . . . . a great combination!

Vehicle was described as excellent condition It was out of gas as if a couple gallon would have killed them Wiper blade was scratching windshield Less than 5 dollars Battery was bad passenger side mirror was taped in. Does this sound like excellent to you. ?

I have had this vehicle since new. Has 46000 trouble free miles on it. 5.0 v8 engine with AWD. Average 17-20mpg. Luxury suv with a great ride and very dependible. The MACH SOUND SYSTEM IS FANTASTIC. The All Wheel Drive is a great asset to the vehicle.Works great in snow.
