Tribeca AWD specs

#1 05-26-2005, 08:45 AM

We received our first Tribeca late last week (a white one, 7 passenger w/ GPS nav). Earlier today we received a CDrom with all of the official specs of the Tribeca. In the AWD section it mentions that the Tribeca is set up for an AWD front/rear distribution of 45.7 - 54.3. It also mentions that the rear diff is not limited slip. Final drive is 3.583. Thought some of you would find that interesting.

Thanks, Dave. White, huh? Several years ago I heard that white was the most popular color for new cars - is that still the case? (If it ever was for Subaru buyers.)

You would be amazed at the number of white Outbacks that we service.....they seem to be everywhere!

I dunno I just hate the way the tribeca looks. And apparently its the future of what other subaru models are going to look like

That's weird - I almost never see white Subarus.

I usually see that dark green color. Thats usually the color of the Subaru's here.

That's the closest thing to the new SVX I think we'll ever see. It also doesn't seem to offer a 5/6spd MT.

Maybe it's a North East thing.......we seem to be swimming in white Subaru's, esp Outbacks.

I used to live in Vermont, but I don't remember seeing a lot of white Subarus up there, either. I remember a lot of dark red or green Outbacks, but not many white ones.

Not very scientific, I'll agree...

I've seen a TON of white WRXs and STi's lately!!! Wondering where they all came from.... But I must admit, the white STi's are pretty hott looking

The rear diff also has its own temperature sensor with a high temp warning light on the dash. I'm guessing they needed this because of the towing limit of 3,500 lbs.
