They are the same vehicle, so it just depends on which BADGE you like.
Yes, they are the same vehicle as is the Mercury Mariner.
* 16x7", 5x4.5" Lug Pattern. * Fits the 2001-2005 Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute. RuKuS - http://chopshop.ecrater.com
Center of dash, centered above radio, etc. Has a red triangle. NOT the same as Ford Escape.
2003 Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute with V6 engine. Probably other years too, but not sure.
yep
The calipers need a 7 mm hex wrench. The Caliper holder to remove the rotors takes an 18mm socket. This is a 2003 Ford escape..apparently it's the same as a Mazda tribute.
The vast majority are manufactured by Mazda. Exceptions are the Mazda B-series pickup, Mazda Tribute, which are made by Ford.
I found the answer here: http://www.ford-forums.com/ford-escape/4530-ford-escape-air-bag-warning-light.html It worked on my Mazda Tribute - I checked the connections under the front seats.
Mazda made the tribute a few years back (same car as a Ford escape, different grill), Volvo and Jaguar were part of Ford, and Kia made the Festiva for Ford years ago.
The Mazda Tribute has been production since model year 2007. The exact fuel filter will vary by year. The OEM fuel filter for the 2011 Mazda Tribute with the 3.0L V6 is Ford Motorcraft #FG872.
The same as a Ford Explorer of the same year.
Mazda says to use their "Mazda Premium Gold", which they charge $18.00 a gal. The Ford Escape which is built at the same plant as the Mazda and Ford says to use their "Motorcraft Premium Gold" which is the same as that of Mazda and it cost$12.00 a gal. I use personally use Peak brand that mixes (blends) with all antifreeze, it does the job with no problems and cost between $8 - $10 a gal.
