The Mazda Tribute window sticker (Monroney label) lists its original factory MSRP, the 3.0L, 6-cyl, Gasoline or E85 fuel, Front-Wheel Drive build, standard and optional equipment, EPA fuel economy (up to 32 mpg combined) and NHTSA safety ratings.

The Mazda Tribute window sticker — build, options & years
The Mazda Tribute ran from 2001–2011. Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price, built around the 3.0L, 6-cyl, Gasoline or E85 fuel, Front-Wheel Drive powertrain.

What the Mazda Tribute sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the Tribute, latest tested year 2011:
The label also prints an estimated $2,467 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 409 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Tribute under Sport Utility Vehicle - 4WD, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the Tribute's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2001 to 2011. Worth checking before you compare a Tribute sticker from one year with another:
Over that span the combined figure rose by 5 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
Safety ratings printed on the label
The second required block: NHTSA's five-star crash results. This is what the Tribute sticker carries as of its 2011 rating:
Stars are awarded per test, so a car can hold five overall and fewer for rollover — tall vehicles usually give ground there. Compare against every rated model in the safest cars ranking.
What's on the Mazda Tribute sticker
Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks: MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy — for this car 26 mpg combined, NHTSA safety ratings — 3 stars overall here, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin.

Where to find the VIN on a Mazda Tribute
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Tribute, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Mazda Tribute all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Mazda Tribute whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
