Default Tribeca Showtime!

Blizzard in NY!

Large snowfalls (by NYC standards)!

Will Suzy's Tribeca do what Robbie bought it for?

Are the highways shutdown?

Traffic too heavy?

Just too dangerous?

Can Suzy get through to the hospital?

Is there a defibrillator in the glove box?

She can get through with a large hot air blower melting the snow... just
mount a chair on the front bumper and have Robbie ride up there! Hot air for
all!

Amen!

Default Tribeca Showtime!

Well...she's not working this weekend, but the Tribeca had no problem
with 8-10 inches of snow or blasting through big drifts here in Kew
Gardens. Traction control does what it should and the only thing to be
mindful of are stopping distances in 18" tires. Compared to the Acura
MDX, BMW X5 and the Outback, this is a better ride in the snow and
rain. Feedback to the wheel is a bit light, but you get used to it. We
may trade in 15 months for a newer Tribeca. Rumors of an STI version
with 330 HP are trickling through.

18" tyres = expensive to replace.

How is it going uphill on ice? Especially stop and go uphill on ice?

Praise!
