2003 Mazda Tribute?
I totaled my 1997 Ranger so now I'm in the hunt for a replacement grocery-getter beater.
While looking at a 2007 Mazda B3000 I came across a loaded 2003 Tribute ES. Nice little SUV. I know this is an RV forum so I'll make the connection by saying it is capable of towing a whopping 2000lbs and may be a suitable toad.
Can anybody tell me the good, bad or ugly on a 2003 Mazda Tribute before I drop $4K on it? I have read reviews. I gather they are prone to alternator failures and have had their share of safety recalls in the past.
Is it a toad candidate? My Ranger, with the manual 5 speed was and I have dreams of someday owning an A.
Thanks for your input.
