Exterior design for this long-wheelbase luxury minivan adopts styling points of Mercury's Mountaineer SUV. The signature waterfall grille mounts up front with satin aluminum accents and flanks wear monochromatic body cladding. Plan for the cabin indicates three rows of seats with twin buckets up front, seats on the second row foldable and a third-tier bench that drops into the flat floor.

Power for Monterey stems from a 4.2-liter V6 engine rated at 201-hp and with enough torque to lug a 3500-pound trailer. Trim versions are Convenience, Luxury and Premier. The Convenience issue brings a 4-speed automatic transaxle, ABS, twin-zone climate controls and forward and reverse park assist, with side-impact air bags optional plus Ford's Safety Canopy.

Monterey Luxury has heated and cooled front seats covered in perforated leather, power to move two side sliding doors and power-adjustable pedals, side air bags and the Safety Canopy, with Ford's AdvanceTrac stability controls optional. Deluxe Premier trim gets heated and cooled front seats in leather with perforated suede inserts, a power liftgate plus aluminum wheels and satin aluminum roof rails. A DVD-based entertainment system for rear seats is optional.
