Mountaineer (also known as West Virginia Mountaineer) was a Ford monster truck from West Virginia owned by Robby Gray. He drove Mountaineer until 2002, when Mark Taylor began driving the truck, but still under Robby's ownership. Mountaineer was first created in 1995 on a leaf-sprung chassis, before debuting the tube chassis in 1997. The truck ran until 2004, before it became a display truck named Jimmie Johnson's Power Of Pride. In 2012, RB Moler bought Mountaineer together with its chassis and continued to operate his own version of the truck.
