TributeFeb 2001

Tribute

MAZDA and Ford co-developed the Tribute, a compact 4WD aimed straight at the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V.Australian-bound versions came from Japan where they were built alongside the Mazda’s Ford Escape fraternal twin. However they differed visually from one another.The Tribute was a transverse engine front-wheel drive four-door compact wagon with unitary body construction, five seats and some interior versatility.Mazda also brought in a four-cylinder manual-only model as the Tribute’s opening gambit. Dubbed Limited, it featured a 97kW/183Nm version of the 626’s evergreen 2.0-litre twin-cam 16-valve unit. But it had its work cut out hauling this heavy wagon around.All other Tributes were 150kW/266Nm 3.0-litre DOHC 24-valve V6s married to a four-speed automatic gearbox.The model range read: Limited, Classic and Luxury, with Traveller arriving in 2002.Every Tribute featured dual front airbags, air-conditioning, power windows, power steering, remote central locking and roof racks.

BA/ZA EscapeFeb 2001

BA/ZA Escape

THIS was Ford’s response to the growing compact 4WD/SUV market personified by the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V.Ford-controlled Mazda developed it, although the Escape was primarily designed for the SUV-crazy North American market.The Mazda Tribute is the Escape’s fraternal twin, and is built alongside it by Mazda in Japan. However the Ford differed visually from its cousin, and was a V6-only vehicle at a time when the Tribute was also offered in a 2.0-litre four-cylinder manual model.It was essentially a transverse engine front-wheel drive four-door compact wagon with unitary body construction, five seats and some interior versatility.Three models were offered initially – base XLS, mid-range XLT and luxury Limited – and all were powered by a 3.0-litre DOHC 24-valve V6 mated solely to a column-shift four-speed electronically controlled automatic gearbox.Every Escape featured dual front airbags, air-conditioning, power windows, power steering, remote central locking and roof racks.From early ’03 the BA Escape was changed to ZA Escape – presumably to avoid confusion with the then-new BA Falcon – while the base XLS gained anti-lock brakes, power mirrors, improved seats, 16-inch wheels and new colours, as well as a host of minor trim alterations.The XLS now boasts power mirrors, full cloth trim, driver's seat lumbar support, driver's seat height adjustment, 16-inch wheels and H-rated 235/70 R16 tyres.The ZA upgrade sees the addition of ABS anti-lock braking as standard on the XLS and the introduction of two new colours – Mediterranean Blue and Island White.

You can include words like "and" + "or" for boolean style searching. Some search examples as follows:

  • "Ford v8" - Results will contain the text as it appears in the search "Ford v8".
  • "Ford and v8" - Results will have both "Ford" and "v8" within its contents but may not be sequential as per previous example.
  • "Ford or Holden and v8" - Results found will contain "v8" and also contain either "Ford" or "Holden".

You may also use wildcards represented by an asterisks. For example:

  • "Turbo*" - will find all documents that contain words like "Turbocharged", "Turbo-Diesel".
  • "Ford and v*" - Results will have both "Ford" and any word that has "V", so you may find documents about Volvo that mention Ford.
