2006 Mercury Mountaineer
After four years in its current skin, the time has come for a mild redo of the Mercury Mountaineer. More precisely, the time is this fall, when the revised 2006 Mountaineer arrives in showrooms (along with the Ford Explorer, of course).
After four years in its current skin, the time has come for a mild redo of the Mercury Mountaineer . More precisely, the time is this fall, when the revised 2006 Mountaineer arrives in showrooms (along with the Ford Explorer , of course). The Mountaineer's changes are both mechanical and cosmetic. Taking the mechanical first, the most noteworthy is a more powerful, optional V-8. Still at 4.6 liters, the new SOHC engine has three valves per cylinder and greatly increased output: 292 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque (up from 239 hp and 282 lb-ft). The new V-8 also mates to a new automatic transmission, with six forward speeds instead of five. All this provides added incentive to bypass the Mountaineer's base powertrain, a 210-hp 4.0-liter V-6 and five-speed automatic, both unchanged for '06. Further mechanical tweaks were visited upon the frame (strengthened), the suspension (retuned), and the brakes (enlarged).
