It said, “For those markets that need a gasoline variant, there is also the 2.3 Ecoboost” Does Australia need a gasoline variant or are they hinting at North America… Last edited by jpd80; 01-03-2022 at 08:25 PM. |

Very nice from Ford. With this, the new Rangers and Mustang they are on a roll at the moment.

so no Raptor version, a shame, but understandable given there are already so many model variants of the Everest/Ranger. I prefer the look of the outgoing Everest, but the interior of the new one is a big improvement. the Defender still tugs the heartstrings as my next ride, but this will definitely get a serious look, especially considering how much cheaper it will be.

Love the look inside and out of the new Everest. The front of old model looked good, but the rear always looked a little awkward to me. This new design is whole lot more cohesive.

I love the look of the new Everest. The front, in particular, looks very much like an F-Series, and that is a good thing. It looks very much like a Ford truck should look.

Had a look on the Ford website and it looks like the Blue isn't going to be offered on the Platinum?! There goes any thought of buying it. Yes, a colour is important to me.

Not wrong Simon, you guys deserve a pat on the back for this.
IMO the short falls the current Everest has have all been addressed, perhaps as it was designed to compete with Prado? but now it surely ranks above and may even attract interest from Patrol & Cruiser owners The Sport with 3.0 and raised roof rails would be my pick.

Hopefully some interior colours are offered other than black, even if just seats.

As you say when the Everest may be crossed shopped by either brands such as Toyota (Landcrusier and Prado) or Nissan (Patrol) all these competitors have focussed on this key area. Especially considering now that Ford Australia are themselves promoting both the Ranger and Everest as a vehicle to use in such environments that 4X4 extremists like to use them for. Ford Australia have done their research when it comes to water crossing with the higher quoted figure which they like to pay special attention to, they have also done many other changes that have accommodated a much better vehicle for 4x4 purposes. But this one little area which I believe is a key area they still have not addressed to bring themselves inline with not only most of their direct competitors but the attended buyer audience that they so much refer to. Hopefully in future models we may see this as an advancement that Ford Australia can promote themselves on. |

It won't make it to North America, but I have seen a few yanks suggest they should as it would be a good competitor for the US market Toyota 4Runner. Probably don't want it stepping on Expeditions toes though, even though it's from the class size above. |

our old Prado was standard with 2 tanks, we rarely used it as it was a lot of weight to carry around - besides that the newer vehicles can achieve the same range on one Tank. I'm not up with new Prado features But have noticed most have the spare underneath now which suggest no 2nd tank.. maybe its an option for them. we all know most of these will be "Toorak tractors" with the occasional weekend getaway so IMO the 2nd tank is not needed

I personally would use and love the extra capacity size tank even for just the odd weekend trip, being able to cover at least 1,000 k's without needing to stop or make provisions to find a petrol station would be good. The Prado I believe has the option of tanks if the buyer decides to have the spare wheel rearward mounted or underneath, all others just have a larger capacity tank. Its just an area I feel that they could have capitalised on considering where they bench mark their intended audience. |

You can program the current one for a bigger fuel tank in your backyard using Forscan. I assume it will be updated once the new one is out. It's literally a 5 minute job.

Anyone know what the GVM/GCM is on these yet?

Beat me to that. Biggest issue with the old Everest was the low GVM that made it so difficult to get a long range tank or anything as it eats into the GVM

Looks tough AF. I like the current Everest but the current back looks way too soft. It makes a Honda HRV look tough.
If I were to buy a new 7 seat 4x4 any time soon the v6 Everest would be in 1st place. It's so good how it's more common for new 4x4's to get stock standard recovery points. As a former new Jimny owner I appreciate ready to go recovery points. Recovery points were non existent for a Jimny with an ARB bulbar. Last edited by Ben73; 02-03-2022 at 07:29 PM. |

Ford US leadership is a bit out of touch with buyers, seems constantly surprised at the number of buyers wanting its new products, maybe it’s just as well that Everest isn’t planned for there, I doubt they have the capacity to cover demand in any regard…. |

the aftermarket accessories plan for both Ranger and Everest is fully integrated. I'm guessing, but I am hopeful that the approved after market long range tank will come with all required software updates too.
