The vehicle has plenty of room for hauling various items. The Mountaineer also has a lot of low-end tourque when trailering. I pulled my Ford Escort and did not even know it was there, likewise when pulling a camper or the snowmobiles.
This unit has been fairly reliable for me. I had a battery problem when I first purchased the SUV but it was rectified quickly.
The sound system is excellent, very clear and not inaudible at all. The navigation system works great and virtually eliminates the need for road maps
Ford retuned the Mountaineer/Explorer frame and suspension. The result was outstanding. I drove from Chicago to Colorado Springs in one day and felt as fresh when I arrived in Colorado as I did when I left Illinois.
The vehicle is whisper quiet thanks to new door and window seals throughtout.
