Mercury Marauder delivers a 1960s American muscle car experience with a refined powertrain, new colors and upgraded entertainment system for 2004.

The 2004 Marauder is powered by an all-aluminum 4.6-liter, 302-horsepower V8 engine. The 2004 Marauder gets a new 4R75W heavy-duty, four-speed automatic transmission for greater efficiency and low-end torque. The new transmission provides quicker upshifts and downshifts, and lets the driver “kick down” into first gear at a higher speed.

Large 18-inch wheels and tires reinforce Marauder’s aggressive, muscle-car stance, while the image of the Roman god Mercury on the wheel caps reflects its heritage and personality.

Marauder is now available in three exterior monochrome color schemes: Dark Toreador Red and Silver Birch join the original deep-gloss Black. Distinctive yet subtle performance cues include the “Marauder” name embossed on the rear bumper, 3.5-inch polished stainless steel exhaust tips and high-output Cibie fog lamps.

Marauder’s interior features a Dark Charcoal and Light Flint two-tone color scheme. Satin-aluminum gauges include a 140-mph speedometer and a 7,000-rpm tachometer, plus voltmeter and oil pressure gauges at the base of the center stack.
