An Explorer wearing a tuxedo, Mountaineer's trump card is its exclusive all-wheel-drive system.

Pros

Third-row seating, independent rear suspension, powerful engines, wide selection of convenience features, attractive new design inside and out.

What's New for 2002

Mercury has overhauled their Mountaineer for model-year 2002 in an attempt to make it more car-like than ever before. Among the improvements are a 2.5-inch wider stance for improved handling and roominess, a new independent rear suspension that improves ride and handling, while at the same time accommodating a standard third row of seats, larger door openings with a lower step-in height, standard six-way power adjustable driver's seat and optional power adjustable pedals. With this year's redesign, Mercury is trying to further differentiate the Mountaineer from its look-alike cousin the Ford Explorer.
