Tribeca vs Forester questions.

[photo2001]

Hi all, I'm thinking of trading in my Forester for a Tribeca. I have a few questions I'm hoping you guys and gals can help with.

My main reason for trading is I need a bigger storage space. Can anyone tell

me what the height and width of the hatch opening is? (btw, I'm only interested in the 2008 5-seat Tribeca).

Also, is there much more of a step-in height to the driver's seat?

For any Tribeca owners, how do you feel about the vehicle?

 

Thanks for all responses!

Hi. Check this out: http://www.cars101.com/subaru/tribeca/tribeca2008.html scroll down about half way and it has a picture with all the dimensions, and tons of other info. The '08 Tribeca gets the new 3.6L H6.

Thanks for the replies! Apparently the Tribeca only has 2 inches

more floor to ceiling height in the hatch opening than my Forester.

Not gonna work, oh well. :-\

Yep, that is why I gave up on the "big" Subarus and got a Chevy truck.

 

I had a Forester or two and was excited when I first heard about the Tribeca. The original Tribeca with the caveat of only Premium gas made the operating expense the same as my truck.

 

I still stayed loyal to Subaru by getting an Imp for commuting.

 

BTW my sister loves her Turbo Charged Forester and it meets 95% of her hauling needs. My truck gets called for the other 5%.
