The Mercury Monterey offers class-leading safety technologies. Its third-row seat folds flat into the floor, offering up lots of cargo space for a family of four. And it can carry up to seven passengers. Most models come trimmed in leather. The Monterey is competitively priced, and is essentially a Ford Freestar, only a little more upscale, with a higher level of standard equipment and more options, including heated-and-cooled seats.
The Monterey packs the largest engine you can buy in a minivan, a 4.2-liter V6 that packs a lot of torque, more than other minivans, giving it good performance. It's rated to pull trailers of up to 3,500 pounds when equipped with a new Class II towing package. On the road, the Monterey is smooth and quiet with responsive steering and handling. Parking is made easier by its front and rear park-assist system.
