Do you need that much room, Anthony? I see a LOT of people trying to keep up with the large CUV crowd - Acadia et al. The Forester is a great "CUV", has more ground clearance than most other CUVs and gets decent gas mileage. My neighbour has a 2007 and he loves it.
Plus, it's still AWD and it has that nice boxer-4 snarl. :)
The Tribeca strikes me as for people who want to keep up with the Ultra Mommy Wagons, but they want to say they're driving somethign Japanese. In that case, check out the Toyota Venza.
Either way, I'd go Forester. Plenty of room, decent ground clearance for winter and Kamping (or Kancelling on the way there!), easy to load when shopping, hauls a lot (he's a drywall contractor, keeps lots of gear in his).
Or just get a Frank the Wonder Escape and be done with it. I buried mine 2/3rds of the way into the neighbour's yard the other day when I did a Colin McRae entrance to my own driveway - snow clear up to the floorboards. It backed out, and it was DEEP. :lol:
