This Year's Model Updates:

DX, LX and ES trims carryover, but the V6 is newly limited to LX and ES. If you want to see what's new on the 2003 Tribute, you'll need to look inside. This year, the dashboard is two-tone, and the insert trim is either brushed aluminum (DX and LX) or fake black wood (ES). ES models are equipped with upgraded leather and a cold package that includes heated seats and exterior mirrors. New options include an auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass and a DVD entertainment system. Four new colors round out the changes.

Pros:
  • Roomy and comfortable, peppy V6 engine, great value for the money, drives more like a car than a truck.
Cons:
  • Loud engines, poor fuel economy and range with V6.

    Good GOD, stay away. Have this car 3 months, and have had nothing but trouble. Engine quits, transmission has been opened up twice for service. Im getting so I see the same group of owners in the dealership getting theirs serviced every time Im there.

    From the very first day we purchased the vehicle its been in the shop about 1 1/2 months. It stalls, safety restraint system fails, clutch went out, and ignition switch busted. Plus other little things. The list is too long to write all of it.
