My folks just gave me and my fiancee a 2000 Mercury Mtnr as a wedding gift. We're getting married on March 14th in LA (lower Alabama).

It has only 20,000 miles and is in top shape. The thing is torquey (is that a word?) as hell, it has the 5.0L V8.

I've owned a 4runner for over nine years and love toyotas, this gift came as a total suprise. I'm keeping the '91 4Runner so we now have two cars. I would love to trade it in on a Runner but the folks might take offense to it. Any advice or links for mods to a Ford?

I don't even have a set of standard wrenches, took me long enough to get a set of metrics!

 

Hey Travis-

Is the Mountaineer based on the Explorer chasis?

You might give This Forum a try, although they don't have a category for Merc's.

 

I'm pretty sure that an explorer and moutaineer are the same, with only a few differences in the grill, lights, etc.

I may trade it in after all, who knows.
