Mazda Tribute Engine For Sale

Mazda Tribute Engine For Sale

Mazda Tribute Engine For Sale


The Tribute was introduced by Mazda beginning in 2001. It was a combined effort by Ford Motor Company and Mazda based on the transverse mounted front-wheel drive engine setup in the Mazda 626, which is the same chassis as the very similar Ford Escape. The Tribute is priced somewhat below the Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner in Ford’s CD2 SUV lineup.

The first generation [2001-2007] of Mazda Tribute engines were:
2.3 L 153 hp which is an inline or straight four cylinder engine with two versions, the L3-VE, L3-DE and the
3.0 L 203 hp (151 kW) V6

The second generation [2008-present] Mazda Tribute engines are:
2.5L MZR which is also an Inline 4 cylinder engine and the
3.0L AJ model V6 engine is also called a Duratec 30 by Ford. It is the same basic engine used in the Jaguar S-type and plenty of ford vehicles.

MZR: MZR is a brand name that refers to Mazda’s most current inline-4 cylinder gasoline and diesel powered engines. The MZR refers to either the 1.8L to 2.5L Mazda L-engine, the 1.3L to 1.6L Mazda Z-engine or the new-generation MZR-CD 2.0L and 2.2L common-rail diesel Mazda R-engine.

All of the above mentioned engines are surprisingly peppy and durable. I suspect that is why it has found a home in several related automotive brands. Remember, Mazda and Ford have been sharing technology for years. Hence, the unusual similarities between many Mazda products and Ford products, such as the Mazda 626 engine and the Ford Probe. Two identical cars, except for the name plates and interior packages.

I know how confusing it is to most folks when you start to talk about Ford engines in Mazda cars and Ford engines in Jaguars, and so on and so forth. Believe me, it confuses many professionals. I believe many of the businesses we provide replacement motors for have a tremendous respect for the knowledge our sales people have. It really saves a lot of time and money dealing with an specialist.
