’09 Mercury MOUNTAINEER
Powerful Poise.
In the 2009 Mercury Mountaineer, robust power is backed
by impressive poise. A 4.6L 3-valve V-8 engine, available
on Mountaineer Premier, supplies 292 hp and 315 lb.-ft. of
torque. High-flow ports and dual-equal variable cam timing
help this robust V-8 deliver its impressive performance.
Also providing assistance is the first-in-class available
6-speed automatic transmission, whose evenly spaced
gear ratios make the most of the V-8’s wide powerband.
The standard 4.0L V-6 engine on Mountaineer and
Mountaineer Premier is teamed with a wide-ratio 5-speed
automatic transmission. With 210 hp and 254 lb.-ft. of
torque, this clean-burning engine even meets strict Ultra
Low Emissions Vehicle II (ULEV II) standards.

Underneath, Mountaineer’s Independent Rear Suspension
features a compact, trailing-arm setup. Together with the
front suspension and stiff frame, it helps deliver a refined
ride and excellent handling. You’ll feel connected to the
road – not beat up by it. Heightening that connectivity is
Mountaineer’s available full-time All-Wheel-Drive (AWD)
system. This intuitive system smartly adapts to changing
road and weather conditions as they occur, instantly
transferring power to the axle with the best grip to help
Mountaineer really hold the road.
