I own a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer AWD. I like the Mountaineer because it is big and can tow when I need to. My truck has a little over 170,000 miles and runs pretty good. I've never had a problem with my truck other than regular wear and tear. This truck is a good vehicle to own because parts are very common as it shares the same body/style as the Ford Explorer so you can use Motorcraft parts.
