Transmission is terrible and it gets worse mileage than my 2005 Explorer did.

2006 Mercury Mountaineer Review:
Good overall, but it is a worse ride than my wife's 2006 Explorer when it comes to transmission and they are the same vehicle for all practical purposes.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mercury Mountaineer?
Exterior styling is the best part of the truck. It is very quiet.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercury Mountaineer?
Soften the ride. The ride is way too stiff and very uncomfortable when you feel every imperfection in the road. Also the visibility out of the back. The oversized headrests that do not lower to the seat need to go! Fix the transmission problems.

2006 Mercury Mountaineer Review:
Ford should have stuck with the older version. This is my 3rd Explorer/ Mountaineer and by far the worst. The new transmission does not shift properly. Dealer has rebuilt it 4 times in 15K miles. Still hesitates between shifts. The suspension is too stiff. You feel every imperfection on the road and rather than the suspension absorbing the bumps, the passengers feel everything.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercury Mountaineer?
The suspension needs to be loosen up. The ride is so tight you feel every little bump. This is not a comfortable vehicle!

2006 Mercury Mountaineer Review:
We have owned this vehicle 6 months and are very unhappy. Neither my wife or I enjoy driving or riding in the vehicle. I have lower back problems and this truck stays parked more because it is so uncomfortable.

Improve the ride. Very stiff and uncomfortable. Also Transmission does not shift properly and Ford is unwilling to correct problem.

2006 Mercury Mountaineer Review:
I do not recommend this truck. It is extremely uncomfortable due to the stiff suspension. After 15,000 miles and 3 transmission rebuilds, problem still exists. Ford refuses to correct.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mercury Mountaineer?
Very appealing exterior. Good ride. Very easy to park.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercury Mountaineer?
Reduce how high the engine revs at part throttle. Revs very high and vehicle goes nowhere! Sound great but wastes alot of fuel.

2006 Mercury Mountaineer Review:
Good vehicle with average amenities for the price range. Premier model. Ford really needs to work on this engine/transmission combo. Very smooth but there seems to be no reason to rev the engine like that. It should shift sooner and use the engines torque. That is what a V-8 is for.
