#6791 of 8367 rollover rating avail by tyyeh0 Jan 20, 2006 (8:17 pm)
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/NCAP/Cars/3797.html   At first glance, I thought the static stability factor is lower than what I expected. But it's measured by the track width and the center of mass height. The tribeca is pretty narrow compare to something like the mdx...

Replying to: tyyeh0 (Jan 20, 2006 8:17 pm) Thanks for posting this! I'd been wondering when the rollover tests would finally be done. I think they did pretty darn good - only 1% greater rollover chance than Outback.   Here's a link to the entire '06 SUV comparison chart: http://www.safercar.gov/Index2.cfm   Let's see how we did against the main competition: Tribeca beat XC90, Highlander, ML, X5 and RX. The most recent X5 and RX series tested were '03 models. Tribeca tied Pilot. Tribeca lost narrowly to Murano, which in turn lost narrowly to MDX. Most other SUVs weren't close, aren't really competitors IMHO, or haven't been tested (Touareg).   Overall, probably a B+ or A- performance. Competition at the top of the list is tight, but the rollover risk for the gamut of what NHTSA considers "SUVs" ranges from 14% to somewhere around 48%. Tribeca and Pilot were at 16% and Murano and MDX at 15%, all at the extreme top of the scale.   Highlander is the real loser. Scored worse despite being 2" wider than Tribeca and having 1" less ground clearance. Replies to this message: cluelesspa (Jan 22, 2006 8:21 am) jeffmc (Jan 23, 2006 10:42 am)

Replying to: cptplt (Jan 19, 2006 6:31 pm) I had mine replaced recently. Took a while for them to get the parts. My dealer said Subaru is looking into a possible recall on these, but for now they are still trying to locate stronger ones. My new ones are the same as the original ones, I believe, and they are working fine now...except now the hatch is hard to close! But I'll take that over whacking my head any day   -Karen in AZ- Replies to this message: renjord (Feb 06, 2006 9:27 am) ateixeira (Feb 06, 2006 9:50 am) cluelesspa (Feb 07, 2006 5:19 am)

Replying to: wvroads (Jul 05, 2005 6:49 am) Could you or anyone else briefly explain how to add an unswitched 12V outlet? I know I'll have to get the parts. I'm mainly concerned with how to hardwire it. Do I wire it into the fusebox in the passenger compartment?   And for those of you that have done it, have you run into any dead battery problems?   Thanks.

Replying to: jeffmc (Jan 20, 2006 9:34 pm) maybe you were looking at the Toyota Rav.   the highlander 2006 got 17% only 1 % more then the Tribeca. http://www.safercar.gov/NCAP/Cars/3584.html Replies to this message: jeffmc (Jan 23, 2006 10:42 am)

Pretty good rollover score.   Saw a white pearl Tribeca this morning, in the rain. It stands out with a good visibility factor.   You can hard wire it to the existing adaptors, but don't overload the circuit or you'll just blow fuses.   -juice Replies to this message: cluelesspa (Jan 23, 2006 11:31 am)

Replying to: cluelesspa (Jan 22, 2006 8:21 am) Nope - I was talking about Highlander. Less ground clearance combined with more width really should've put it ahead, not behind. If Tribeca's near the top now, imagine how much more stable it would be with those same 2" added to its width, and ground clearance lowered an inch! I didn't look at the RAV as a competitor.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 23, 2006 10:38 am) if you go direct to the battery you will need a fused line is my suggestion. but the fact you are asking this, I would suggest you have stereo shop or place like that put it in for you.
