You can dress and ugly girl up and put make up on her, but she's still ugly in the front IMHO.   -mike Replies to this message: mystro (Nov 23, 2006 3:01 pm)

Replying to: paisan (Nov 22, 2006 11:22 am) Thats what was said about Bugatti's because they were *different*.. many subbie owners pride themself's that a Roo is different and the TriB is a perfect example of a *not* following others like sheep.   The cold hard facts is it's -one of- if not the best handling SUV's in the world..now thats beautiful baby!

Replying to: cluelesspa (Nov 21, 2006 3:31 pm) Thanks for the pics,the bug shield should go,this front end is so swooping and sleek it detracts from the smooth lines and edgy grill,the bug shield is great on OB's and Legs..not the TriB besides,it doesn't work very well because of the overall front rake..I saw this in a windtunnel test.   Replies to this message: mystro (Nov 23, 2006 3:12 pm) cluelesspa (Nov 26, 2006 7:56 pm)
#55 of 148 06 Nav upgrade by mystro Nov 23, 2006 (3:12 pm)
Replying to: mystro (Nov 23, 2006 3:06 pm) Has anyone checked if the 06 TriB Nav system can be retrofitted with a BU Cam?
#56 of 148 Agreed by paisan Nov 23, 2006 (4:39 pm)
It is well handling, and I usually don't care about looks, but wasting money on rimz and grilles doesn't make it look any better.   Also Handling + SUV is kind of an oxymoron. One could say it's also not too versed at rock-crawling and thus one of the worst off-roading SUVs....   -mike Replies to this message: mystro (Nov 23, 2006 5:39 pm) cluelesspa (Nov 26, 2006 7:50 pm)

Replying to: paisan (Nov 23, 2006 4:39 pm) Mike,have you had a look at this:   smooth TriB   It may not represent "rock-crawling" but all the other important things it sure does.
#58 of 148 I've seen it by paisan Nov 23, 2006 (6:39 pm)
and still argue, that it is not, will not and cannot be an "offroader" period. First it has no low range, which is key to offroading in any truck.   -mike Replies to this message: morey000 (Nov 24, 2006 10:07 am)

Replying to: paisan (Nov 23, 2006 6:39 pm) I see the Tribeca as a grand compromise vehicle- that meets my needs. It doesn't have the luxury of the Lexus, it doesn't have the fuel economy of a Rav4, it doesn't have the off road ability of a Grand Cherokee, it doesn't have the towing ability or utility of an Envoy or Explorer, etc.   But it's got plenty of room, lots of luxury for a great price, much better drivability than nearly any SUV, and better offroad capabilities than nearly any CUV (highlander, RDX, MDX, RX350, CRV etc). With 8.4" of clearance and a decent AWD system- it's my off road vehicle. (but I'm not an 'off road' enthusiast)
#60 of 148 That's great. by paisan Nov 24, 2006 (10:47 am)
Glad you like it. For me, the 3rd row is too small, the offroading isn't enough, and the towing is abysmal! If I were comparing it to the others in it's class however, yeah I'd think it's gret, I just dislike the fact that people call it an "offroader" when none of these vehicles are offroaders at all! Heck my Armada even with 4-low, LSD front and rear, and V8 power isn't good offroad due to the side-steps and front air dam!   -mike Replies to this message: mystro (Nov 25, 2006 9:16 am) terry92270 (Nov 25, 2006 11:30 am)
