I've been wanting one since they were a concept in '01 and now I'm a new owner of a 2004 Merc Marauder. It's a DTR 300A with all the bells and whistles. I've had it for a week now and still can't wipe the silly grin from my face.

Welcome aboard. I'm afraid the grin is permanent Mines still there every time I drive my 04 DTR.
2004 DTR Marauder, Built 26 February 2004, Inservice: 02 July 2004 Retired from DD 17 July 2008. Survived the cut, 28 April 2012. Back as a DD as of 18 November 2012.
Welcome aboard. Please put your location in your profile. Lots of fun ahead!
My guess would be in the drivers seat, with a big goofy grin on his face, making "VROOOM! VROOOOOOM!" noises
And welcome aboard!

Hapiness lies within... A Mercury Marauder! Congratulations and welcome to the "club". Be careful on this site though - it's too easy to catch the "mod" bug...

See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.
IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.
Yes I am originally from Da 'Burgh. I live in Canton Mich now working at Mich Truck Assembly.
I know all to well about the "mod bug"it's too easy to catch the "mod" bug...

Welcome aboard fellow union brother. By the way, that smile is permanant. At first people began to talk, then figured out the connection. My smile kept going on and on and on and on. By the way did you transfer from another plant?Originally Posted by STLR FN

I've had mine for 2½ months and still can't stop grinning and peeking in the garage every once in a while ... okay ... a couple of times a day!Originally Posted by STLR FN
Now that you've got one, the fun will start...
Don't lose track of where you are driving, but pay more attention to the looks you get from the people around you.
When you get behind an Impala SS, they IMMEDIATELY speed up to get away from you.
When you pull up alongside a Z or a Corvette, they will usually look over and give you the thumbs up.
When you pull alonside the Police, or they pull alongside you, they will almost always
ask you to roll down your window to ask a few questions about your Marauder.
Today, I took my Marauder to the wash, to get all of the roadsalt off,
and as it came out I had someone come over to me and ask,
"How'd you get a MERCURY with a FORD rear ?".
You can't really tell its a Marauder unless you pay attention to the bumper,
because its wearing its winter tire package, and doesn't have the shiny
polished wheels that scream "LOOK AT ME !!!".
