The SUV is capable of going anywhere and features wider tracks as well as SYNC 4 infotainment.
Ford has been very active in recent years when it comes to new products. The third-generation Everest is coming at a time ladder-frame SUVs have become more popular. The new three-row family hauler, based on the 2022 Ranger has all the same features as the midsize truck. The tracks are wider (+50mm/1.97 inches) and the dampers have been adjusted for better off-road capability.
The styling is almost identical to the Ranger’s with an almost identical front fascia. An SUV’s body has longer rear doors which allow for easier access to the rear seats. The taillights are wider than the truck’s and feature a broad bar at the end of the tailgate with the “Everest” lettering.
The Ford three-row “sanctuary”, as it is called, has seen massive changes. Here the new Everest receives the SyNC 4 infotainment. Portrait-oriented touchscreens measure 10.1 inches in the lower trim levels, and a 12-inch diagonal is available for the more costly models. The digital instrument cluster is the same, with a range of sizes from 8 to 12.3 inches depending on the model.
The usual suspects are included in the engine lineup, with the turbodiesel 3.0-liter Turbo V6 at the top. The Everest’s revamped engine lineup will include a 2.0-liter diesel engine with either one or two turbochargers, depending on market conditions. The body-on-frame SUV will be available with the familiar EcoBoost gasoline engine. These engines can be driven with either a 6-speed manual or 10-speed automatic, depending on which engine is used.
Ford claims water wading capability of 800mm (2.6 feet), while the roof can support static loads up to 350 kg (772 lbs) and dynamic loads up to 100 kg (220lbs). The engine bay can accommodate a second battery, which can be used to power various accessories that enhance the Everest’s outdoory nature.
The 2023 Ford Everest has a 360-degree camera, matrix LED headlights, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assistance. Blue Oval also offers an automatic evasive steering assist to prevent a collision if braking alone is not enough. Post-collision brake kicks in to prevent a second accident from occurring in the event of an accident.
The Everest is a large SUV . However, it can also park itself. It can also drive you out using the all-around cameras as well as the parking sensors at both the front and back. Blind spot can support trailers up to 10 m (32.8 ft) in length and 2.4 m (7.9 ft) wide.
The Ford Everest, an RWD-based Ford, will go on sale in Sport, Titanium and Platinum trims later this year. Additional versions are planned depending on where they are sold. In India, the Endeavour was also sold as the previous generation. Fun fact: The French military uses a light-duty tactical vehicle, known as the Arquus Trapper VT4, as a personnel carrier. It is based on the second-gen Everest.
