Summary
Mercury Mountaineer combines convenience and versatility with luxurious accommodations. It's comfortable on long trips. Its features and ergonomics make living with it a very pleasant experience. Its available all-wheel-drive system makes it a confident vehicle in nasty weather. The V6 engine is more than adequate for most families, but the V8 gives it more power for hilly terrain, high altitudes, and towing.
