Mercury Mountaineer is the upscale version of the rugged reliable Ford Explorer

Up for sale is a 2001 Mercury Mountaineer V8 AWD with just 112k highway miles. The Mercury Mountaineer is an upscale version of the rugged and reliable Ford Explorer. I would rate the exterior of this Mountaineer to be in ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION for its age and mileage. This is a great looking SUV. It is finished in a beautiful green over tan leather, hich is a great color combination. The finish has a mile deep shine and looks as smooth as glass all around. As with any older vehicle, lease expect a few flaws and imperfections commensurate with age and mileage. On this specific Mountaineer, here is nothing noteworthy to report as far as damage goes. What's even more impressive is that there isn't any body rust on the exterior of this truck either, even up under the rockers where these trucks are known to start. Pride in ownership shows throughout this Mercury. All of the body moldings are present and show well. All of the glass and lenses are intact. The factory alloy wheels show well and are wrapped in a matching set of rubber with deep tread all around. I would rate the interior of this Mountaineer to be in Almost EXCELLENT CONDITION for its age and mileage. The door panels are clean and tight. The carpets are clean and full looking throughout the interior. The leather trimmed seats show well for their age and are comfortable. Both front seats are power operated. The power windows, ocks, eats and mirrors work properly. The Navigation system and back up camera are top of the line. There are steering wheel audio controls, oo. The climate control system is fully automatic and is working excellent. Being the top of the line Premier trim, his Mountaineer an on board computer not found on lesser models. The cargo area is spacious and clean. The original retracting cargo cover is present. Mechanically, his is in EXCELLENT running and driving condition. The 5.0L V8 starts easily and runs smoothly.
