I beg to disagree. The Tribute is based on the Escape platform and the Escape has less space than the CRV. In terms of cargo volume, the CRV can accomodate more cargo than the Escape or Tribute. Yes, the Tribute and Escape are both wider than a CRV but by only 45mm which obviously does not translate to more space.

CRV specs:

Overall length (mm) 4535
Overall width (mm) 1780
Overall height (mm) 1710
Wheel base (mm) 2620


Escape Specs:

Overall Length (mm) 4,400
Overall Width (mm) 1,825
Overall Height (mm) 1,700
Wheelbase (mm) 2,620

Tribute Specs:

Overall length - 4,395 mm
Overall width - 1,800 mm
Overall height - 1,765 mm
Wheelbase - 2,620 mm

Similar lang yung interior space ng GV & Tribute (we both have 'em).

Hello Tribute owners, I'm actually considering a CUV lately and have a shortlist of which the Tribute is one of them. Since your Tributes are mostly a year old already, I believe I should have a better feedback about it this time.

1) When you say it has a good ride, does this mean that it absorbs the road imperfections very well (comfortable, luxurious, not bouncy ride) or the suspensions are good because the car does not sway from left to right when turning, etc?

2) I have read that some had a problem with the Tribute going uphill and some say the engine is preppy and just right; quite contradicting. I wouldnt have the chance to try the uphill test unless I buy the car. Sometimes, cars that climb uphill slowly are not necessarily weak but the gear ratios are designed that way. When you step on the accelerator, does the car speed up or only the engine rev goes up but the speed remains the same?

3) Which other car models did you compare the above characteristics with?

4) I would like to hear from you guys the negatives of this car (not the good ones), something to persuade me to think twice of shortlisting the Tribute :evillaugh

Your answers to the above would help me get a benchmark on how you arrived at your conclusions. I may or may not have or drove the car that you compared it with and that would give me an indication of how the Tribute fares. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi Tribute Owners! I recently purchased a 3L Tribute. Naghahanap po ako ng step board for my Tribute. Nahirapan kasi umakyat sa tribute yung mga anak ko. The step board being offered by Mazda Greenhills is around Php18,000++. Hindi pa yun original Mazda. The original would cost around Php20,000++. I was able to check with Shark, they are selling it at Php9,000++ with courtesy lights. Kaya lang Titanium lang yung available step board. The color of my Tribute is black. Mas maganda siguro kung black din yung step board. May alam ba kayo kung saan ako makakabili ng black step board? Thanks!
