Model Mix Multiple trim levels are out of fashion, at least when it comes to the 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca. Instead, Subaru differentiates the two major B9 Tribeca models by seating capacity, adding the Limited designation to versions swathed in leather.

Multiple trim levels are out of fashion, at least when it comes to the 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca. Instead, Subaru differentiates the two major B9 Tribeca models by seating capacity. Offered are a five-passenger model and a seven-passenger version, which has a third-row seat. The one caveat to this model mix is the Limited model, which adds leather seating surfaces and a 160-watt sound system with a rear subwoofer.

Subaru believes, and the market seems to prove its theory true, that folks want the ability to carry seven passengers. They may never actually do that, but they want to know that they could if necessary. To help facilitate space for extra passengers, the second-row seat can be adjusted fore and aft by as much as 7.8 inches. This seat also has a center fold-down armrest while retaining a 60/40 folding function, which offers a wider range of cargo/passenger transporting options. Aiding rear passenger comfort, the second-row seatback employs a recline feature.
