    What the hell can you do to a Tribute out of curiousity? My wife has a '03 Ford Escape (same truck underneath) with 183k and that has had very few and only minor problems.

    Of all the above cars I have owned, only the American brands gave me repeated trouble (Jeep & Plymouth)... The Japanese brands were all excellent, with Toyota being the best and Subaru and Mitsubishi a close second... Only had a radiator go bad on the Mazda.

    I had a 1964 Beetle before my Tacoma, and before the 64 I had a 1951. The 51 got stolen about 10 years ago, then the 64 was taken early last year. You have to love living next to Mexico!
