Year to Year Changes
1998 Mercury Mountaineer:
An overhead-cam V6 engine with 5-speed automatic transmission became standard this year, making the V8 (with 4-speed automatic and permanent 4WD) an option. The 4-wheel-drive system for the V6 was Ford's Control Trac, which offered 2WD as well as three 4WD modes, one of which can be left engaged on dry pavement. Styling refinements included a fresh grille and newly standard 2-tone paint.
1999 Mercury Mountaineer:
New options became available for the '99 Mountaineer, including seat-mounted front airbags, a rear load-leveling suspension, and a backing-up warning system. The standard V6 engine gained 5 horsepower.
2000 Mercury Mountaineer:
New luxury option groups became available, called Monterey and (for V8 models only) Premiere. Both included woodgrain interior trim and color-keyed bodyside moldings, running boards, and bumpers. Premiere added steering-wheel audio controls, a color-keyed grille, special spruce-green paint, and 16-inch tires on 5-spoke alloy wheels.
2001 Mercury Mountaineer:
Rear child-seat tether anchors were the only addition for 2001.
