 We have put 164,000 miles on our Tribute, including many long highway trips and back woods driving on two-tracks in the UP of Michigan.We required a new (rebuilt Ford) transmission at 94,000 miles, which possibly can be attributed to driving with cupped tires that probably vibrated it to pieces.Mileage is so-so, up to about 21.5 on the highway (we are usually pretty heavily loaded on trips).A/C, defroster, heater have always given some problems, but still work OK.Never burned a drop of oil, and still has good power on the highway.Hoping to make 250,000 miles.
