  2007 Mercury Mountaineer SUV Review - Edmunds.com
Although the Mountaineer is mechanically identical to the Ford Explorer and shares its trucklike chassis construction, Mercury has attempted to differentiate it over the years by specifying more standard amenities, softer suspension tuning and all-wheel drive instead of traditional four-wheel drive.
Mercury can claim more comfort in the first- and second-row seats than most others can, and it remains one of the few manufacturers to have achieved third-row seating fit for adult habitation.
The Mercury Mountaineer's trucklike suspension gave it a bouncy ride typical of the era, and although acceleration was adequate, neither engine was especially powerful or refined by modern standards.

 Mercury Mountaineer
The Mountaineer is targeted to individuals who want the confidence and versatility of an SUV with the comfort and sophistication of a well-appointed sedan.
The Mountaineer's 4-wheel Antilock disc brakes are extremely good, the steering is responsive and it has an exceptional turning radius for a truck.
The Mountaineer could easily tow a sizable trailer to a campground for a weekend of off-roading, providing a fun family outing at any time.

 Mercury SUVs
Mercury Mountaineer's expressive design is refreshing in a sea of comparatively faceless SUVs.
As mid-size sport utilities go, the Mountaineer is a brawny beast, its size tempered by its waterfall grille design, multi-element headlamps, and lots of matte aluminum exterior trim, including horizontal cages around the taillamp assemblies.
Mountaineer is very stable and inspires confidence, a description that also fits the two-wheel-drive models.

 Review: Mercury Mountaineer
The new-for-2002 Mountaineer is handsome, roomy, well-mannered and powerful, but it may be a trucky anachronism to buyers who've decided the future lies in car-based SUVs.
Add that to the Mountaineer's rear parking assist (it beeps faster the closer you get to an object), and a machine that was once out of its element in tight urban situations is right at home.
Mercury dealers should keep an older Mountaineer on hand to show off the remarkable progress made in driving dynamics for 2002.

Mountaineer is extremely well-suited for slippery, mud and snow-covered roads, and since there aren't any buttons to push or levers to pull for 4WD activation, it is a vehicle of choice for the snow regions.
