"Being the last year of the Tribute we got lucky. There is ample room no matter where you sit although the back seats are not the most comfortable. But for what we got it for I can't really complain. The overall fuel economy is just as good as our car from before with just about under 30 mpg combined which is great for a little suv. The interior controls are easy to use, but the only downside is if you wanted to replace the radio there really isn't a way that you can. The HVAC controls are integrated. The build quality is also good, as there aren't any rattles or noise. The stock muffler isn't the quietest on the outside but can't be heard on the inside at all. There are other suv's out there, but none as cheap as this."

"I have the 6 cyl 3.0 liter with tow package and I tow a boat (1700 pounds) from Mpls to Canada several times a year. Tows great. 4x4 kicks in when needed and is very nice to have in winters-very effective. I did not get the "fancy" interior. Seats are OK for comfort. Storage space is really good (large hiding spot for valuables). Driving: handles well around corners but not like a car, acceleration is OK. No issues but it's no sports car. Seats fold down nicely in back for lots of cargo room. Very happy over all."
