The price reference is the median of configuration medians, not the median of all active cars. Each configuration has equal weight. Configurations with at least 3 priced listings are used when available; otherwise the reference uses the configurations with a recorded price. Model years, mileage and condition vary.

The 3.0L 6-cyl Tribute: common questions

Which Tribute years have the 3.0L 6-cyl?

2001–2011 — 10 model years in our VIN decode, across 46 factory configurations and 14,476 VINs.

What does a 3.0L 6-cyl Tribute cost?

$4,900 is a configuration price reference: the median of configuration medians, with each priced configuration weighted equally. It is not a listing-level median or a valuation of an individual car. The year-by-year ladder shows VIN and inventory counts; its links open model-year price reports covering all engines.

What is the engine code, and does it matter?

AJD — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
