I remember my middle school principal had one of these. Since I went to a private school with only about 15 kids altogether, when we had field trips we'd all pile into the SUVs of the teachers and principals (bc our school didn't have buses) and some of the best childhood memories I had were with my friends in the backseat of the principals mountaineer. This video brings back those good memories :,)
This car is amazing. My grandmom got a black one and the timing belts rusty and parts are missing on the engine, and the catlayic conveters rusted out, but it sounds freaking AWESOME when it starts.
@DeMitch It's a great truck. Overall, I love it. Did have a problem with the sunroof leaking but it was fixed. The V6 is a great engine except for fuel economy. I only get around 13-15 city and 18-20 highway. Not that great for a V6, but the engine itself is awesome...sounds really deep and moves the 4000+lb SUV pretty well. It currently has 35K miles and have had no major problems with it.
I really like the keyless entry. I have that on my 2004 mercury and it is nice to have if you need to get in your car and the keys are all the way in the house. Ive used it lots of times. lol
My dad got me a 2002 Mercury mountaineer from our neighbor but it needs a new transmission but the exhaust has rusted out but it sounds awesome when you start it up
I almost started to by one like this one but got a good deal on a 2006 with a V8. Ever since they remodeled the mountaineer, it looks way better than the first generation.
my mom had an 2004 i think or 03' it was fully loaded she was mad that she had to give it up but she was happy that she was leaving all dat gas it took , now she has a 2007 infiniti g35 sedan and she loves it
@DeMitch she was just tired of paying so much money on gas i think it got 12 city and 16 highway. it had no problems it would rate it 8/10 just because of all that room and dvd player
my mom has an '05 4.6 v8 mountaineer teal exterior and black leather interior its a very nice car. question for whoever knows whats the difference between premier and original im guessing its more luxorious but i dont know
@bestamerica Im guessing that your foreign based on your grammar. However, many US cars are like this....It has turn signals....They just aren't amber colored
2004SiennaAWD, ' that is still sad without 2 amber yellow lights,,, all CARS, SUVs, TRUCKS, and VANs must have 3 colors on the rear taillights for turning sign
Hesayad You are living on borrowed time 😞 If you plan to keep it, keep your oil changed on every interval on time and use a really good oil. I realize people get the V6 for economy sake but the 4.6L V8 far surpasses the 4.0 in terms of reliability.
Hesayad My mother drives the 4.0 and hers has been in and out of the shop for years. It's problems started to onset at around 145,000 miles. Whole slew of things happened and she is the first owner. Very well taken care of.
' oh nooo,,, what happen to this SUV mountaineer,,, why this SUV do not have 2 amber yellow lights on the rear taillights for turning sign and emergency parking lot,,, again wrong way gas in hole on the right side passager side than driver left side,,, this SUV is a poor and not good design

My 2003 Mercury mountaineer has 150,000 miles and it’s a V8 runs strong and I would drive it anywhere it is 100% reliable

My grandmother used to have this from 2005-2016
i have the V6 in my 07. More power then you would think. Good torque and decent top end. Still only get around 14 MPG
My dad got me a 2002 Mercury mountaineer from our neighbor but it needs a new transmission but the exhaust has rusted out but it sounds awesome when you start it up
i have the 05 moutaineer v8 in silver and i have the gray interior. love my car

I almost started to by one like this one but got a good deal on a 2006 with a V8. Ever since they remodeled the mountaineer, it looks way better than the first generation.
I have the same truck :-) I get 17MPG It's intact very nice and well taken care of only 75000+ miles not bad for being an 04 when its 2012 now
the 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer was assembled in

St. Louis, Missouri
Test drive a 1999 mercury mountaineer with 5.0 awd give a in depth tour u do a good job at your videos
Justin Krohn I have the 5.0 in mine too and I think it's pretty damn reliable!!
my mom had an 2004 i think or 03' it was fully loaded she was mad that she had to give it up but she was happy that she was leaving all dat gas it took , now she has a 2007 infiniti g35 sedan and she loves it
Did you know that my nephew has one of those? He had one but his was white but mine was kinda like a gold
Does this car have a sunroof as I was going to buy one on a video game
@xBloodfatherx I have the 02 mountaineer and it's the original and the premier is the step up. The Premier has more features than than the standard
The premier didn’t exist in the 2002 model year
My mother has a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer gray paint Black leather, automatinc sunroof, and a third backseet.
my mom has an '05 4.6 v8 mountaineer teal exterior and black leather interior its a very nice car
What is the ideal engine sound of mecury montaineer
nice video! and good car! ;)
@DeMitch she was just tired of paying so much money on gas i think it got 12 city and 16 highway. it had no problems it would rate it 8/10 just because of all that room and dvd player
i saw a mountaineer exactly like this in carmax in LA
Is this the same engine in the ford explorer that had timing chain problems
Yes
Explorer = classic Mountaineer = premium and Aviator = luxury
Lol what? I had an aviator and a mountaineer and the mountaineer was so much nicer could roast the aviator off the line too
I used to have a 2004 Mercury mountaineer limited it had a beautiful interior and exterior. But it broke down.
Its because it was not taken care of, my dad and mom did not take care of it and that's why.
Where is the starter located at on the mountaineer
got a 03 black on black runs good
Damn, we got the same name. lol
@@derekwilliams6188 that’s crazy
It sounds like one of the horn notes is broken.
My mother has an 02 Mountaineer
Carrington Hollister My Mother Has An 07 Ford Escape

I have a v8 mountaineer just like that
Hey saabkyle04 can you take a test drive the murcury mountaineer
my mom has an '05 4.6 v8 mountaineer teal exterior and black leather interior its a very nice car.

2004SiennaAWD,
'
that is still sad without 2 amber yellow lights,,,
all CARS, SUVs, TRUCKS, and VANs must have 3 colors on the rear taillights for turning sign
I wanna ride in that.
@pakesboy cool they made them there :-)
To be honest my mom and dad have a range rover sport and this. This suv kills the range rover
my uncle has the same truck
my aunt used to have one
those of you were wondering that this is kin to the Ford Explorer
Yes, they r the same exact SUV different badges
Yep this was the premium version of the explorer. The aviator was the luxury version.
It's a fancy Ford Escape.
@Annihilator1111 I live in Louisville....
Doesn't look like it needs very much detailing.
Same here
i have the same thing but with a 4.6 and its black and i already have 67k on it
Sir i have a 2003 Mercury Mountaineer
I WANTS IT :D
cool :)
those 4.0 SOHC had horrible timing chain setup. Nearly all high mileage ones, the guides break.
ours is at 130 i think and nothing has happened yet.
