Tribeca (once known as B9 Tribeca) has changed a bit since its introduction in 2006. Last year, the crossover SUV altered its appearance and stoked the muscle by replacing a 3.0-liter, 250 horsepower six-cylinder engine with a 3.6-liter, 256 horsepower, six-cylinder Boxer engine. For the 2009 model year, the Tribeca adds a Special Edition model that means the addition of various comfort treatments, including leather front and second row seats, three-mode heated front seats, driver’s memory seat, and 160-watt AM/FM stereo with six-disc in-dash CD changer. (The base Tribeca has a 100-watt stereo system.) Limited Tribeca models include the Special Edition features as well as HomeLink remote control, power glass moon-roof, and roof rails. In its seven-passenger presentation, the Tribeca has three rows of seats. That last seating row (which is a 50/50 split-fold flat seat) has an accessibility asset via the second row’s tip-and-slide feature. But the third row is still not the easiest to reach for non-nimble adult riders. Maybe that explains why only the front and second seating rows have leather seating surfaces on the Special Edition. Maximum floor length in the seven-passenger configuration (with second and third row seats down) is 74.3 inches. Per gallon fuel estimates for the Tribeca are 16 city and 21 highway with the five-speed automatic transmission with sportshift. MSRP of the all-wheel-drive Tribeca Limited is $35,995.
