Mercury Mountaineer: History, Generations & Specs

The Mercury Mountaineer community here covers first- and second-gen builds, from mud-caked '97 V8 models rocking General Grabber AT2s and running boards to clean '98s rolling on white rims with sunroofs. Custom audio is a big theme too, owners are packing cargo areas with serious subwoofer enclosures and amplifier setups that turn these SUVs into rolling sound systems.
