- 01 Mountaineer Premier
Hi everyone, I just got the Mountaineer about 2 months ago and have just found this forum. So far I love the suv and would like to improve it at least a bit. It is a 5.0 Premiere AWD edition with that lime green color, looks good imo. The truck is in good condition overall on the body but once you get under it looks all rusted which got me worried.. Is this normal for the explorer/mountaineer? Also I tryed to do 0-60 just for fun and it did it in about 9.8 seconds on my stopwatch.. does this seem kind of slow for a 5.0? I feel that my friends v6 cherokee would walk me off the line due to shorter gears.. anyways my plans are to get an intake/exhaust and lower it by maybe 1.5in. Goal is to make it look nice while trying to get as much mpg out of it as possible. Right now I am at about 13-15 city and 18-20.5 highway, is this normal?
