16 gallon gas tank + 15 mpg = 240 mile range! That's the same as a 1973

Toyota Landcruiser! And the Land Cruiser (FJ-40) is no Boulevard car!


Tribeca gets 18 MPG city, 24 HWY. I get just under 25, sometimes
better.

Not true, you don't get 25 mpg per tank. Maybe on your instantaneous mpg
meter. If you include that, I get over 99 mpg at times.


Tribeca has VDC traction control, full time AWD at all speeds. The
Tundra doesn't.

The Tribeca is stuck in AWD. It doesn't have locking differentials or
limited slip differential. It will eat tires.


Tribeca has quieter cabin, 3 zone climate control. Wind noise is also
lower in the B9.

Of course, it's a Boulevard car.


Tribeca is capable of 135 MPH compared to the Tundra's 115 and the poor
Tundra can only do that sad speed in FWD mode!

Tundra does not go 115 mph in FWD mode. It can go 105 mph pulling a 3500 lb
trailer. Can the Boulevard car?



Tribeca maintains antilock even when traction control activates while
the Tundra must rely soley on it's simple less sophisticated ABS
system.

So explain the mechanism of the traction control. Is it simply the brake is
applied to the spinning wheel? That is not traction control.



The Tribeca has 5 speed sportmatic transmission with sport mode and
manual shifting.

So? Does it have 4WD LO gear selection? That's 8 forward gears and 2 in
reverse.



Now...would you like to know how badly the B9 clobbers the Tundra on
the skidpad????

It doesn't.


You'd look a little smarter if you had a clue that the
B9 is not a truck or even a standard SUV.

The Tribeca is not a truck as I have said, it's a Boulevard car. I was
comparing it to a truck to show how outrageously poor it is as a performance
car. It barely beats a large pickup truck in a few categories.

16 gallon fuel tank!!!

Many owners report poor gas mileage!! 15 MPG!

Bad acceleration!!!!

Eats tires!!!

Eats brakes!!!

Boulevard car!!!!!!!
