Good review as always Paul, but as a keen 4wd’er and camper trailer towing family, a major point you’re missing in all these Ute-based 4wd reviews is discussing payload. Sure this has a hefty V6 that will tow 3.5t comfortably but when the payload (GVM less kerb weight) is only 649kg for this model, chuck a 3.5t van on the back and suddenly your usable payload (considering 10% of the trailer mass is tow ball weight) is down to just 299kg. Let’s say like most campers, you’re running a bullbar, towbar, roof rack and aggressive all terrain tyre’s that will at a minimum chop into 150 kg of your remaining payload, leaving just 149kg for passengers and luggage. Now for arguments sake, most people won’t tow the full 3.5t and will likely sit somewhere between 2.5t and 3.0t, still based off the above figures, at best you’re looking at just 200kg for passengers and luggage that will be chewed up quickly with 2 adults and a couple of kids and luggage. It might surprise you that the Prado and MU-X sit in similar camps while the 4cyl Everest Trend and Pajero Sport are up above 700kg. This is just a point that no journalist ever mentions and is a point worth noting considering the majority of families wanting to get into caravanning simply just look at the engine specs and see 3.5t towing capabilities and think that’s all that needs to be considered.

Picked up my Platinum Everest a couple of weeks ago after a 7 month wait. I was originally going to order the Landcruiser 300, but the disappointing legroom for my 6'4" frame made me look elsewhere. I took a punt the new Everest would have more leg room for me and the second row behind, and I was right! I came from Mercedes GLC250 and wanted something more powerful and better off road, so I ordered the Platinum with the off road pack which includes 18" wheels, all terrain tyres and steel underbody protection. So far I'm very happy with the performance and the quality of the vehicle and I'm really hoping it stays that way :)

A good review Paul. I have owned 4 Prados since 2005 and enjoyed trouble free motoring. with all of them I travelled over 100 000km of rough gravel roads with my last Prado 3.0l TX diesel which now reads 220,000km's without problems. I really love the shape, styling and technology of the new Everest Platinum and had to great difficulty to choose between the two. The only concern I have is its reliability, service footprint and resale value of Ford. I decided to stick with what gives me the best peace of mind and opt for the slightly more expensive Prado 2.8GD VXL despite sharing the view that the Prado is ageing. In South Africa it maintains an excellent resale value because of its dependability, unlike the Ford which seems to be problematic after 150 000km's. I am nevertheless keen to see how the Everest will perform in the segment. An opportunity for a long term test review Paul?

Here's the important facts - similarly specced Toyota Prado Kakadu versus Ford Everest Platinum (which actually does have more features) - Prado $95k - Everest $85k. Engine output Prado 150kw & 500nm - Everest 184kw & 600nm. Tow capacity Prado 3 tonne - Everest 3.5 and what task are these two vehicles typically used for? Towing a large caravan, boat or trailer. Loved my Prado which I just sold because I prefer a lesser priced vehicle that will do the same job better, easier and safer. I wouldn't pull a caravan even close to the 3t of the Toyota which strictly limits van choice. Just my thoughts because I dont care it doesn't have a shark fin aerial or has words inscribed in the headlights ....

I have had my new Everest Platinum for nearly 5 weeks now and have fitted it with ARB Old Man Emu suspension, bull bar, snorkel and 2nd battery. I have recently taken it from Adelaide to the Flinders Ranges and Pt Lincoln. The new Everest is brilliant. I have taken it on some pretty rough tracks in both areas and it performed beautifully. I would like to get BFG tyres but, at the moment, I can't get legal After Market wheel and tyre alternatives that don't protrude past the mud guards, as the 18" wheels and tyre sizes are specific to the new Everest. I have been told it will be early next year before they are available. Apart from that, it is a pleasure to drive. My previous 4x4 was the Everest Trend.

On the next test, could you open the glass roof, to see how easy or difficult it is to stand half-body above for a photo shot of that Lion charging towards you for lunch? Keep up the good reviews mate. We all enjoy it.

And agree, keep a spare set of off-road wheels & tyres if you are going to use it periodically in the bush or go for the option of 18's with off-road rubber. Lastly, can't stress enough, ONLY buy with the factory tow pack installed with the built-in controller.

Iv got the everest sport coming end of November went for a test drive the other wkn in one was great. Will be a good family car. But why will no one address the adblue tank it is in a bad spot with no bash plate. If you won't to take it on some hard tracks I would be very careful .

A great review, very non biased. I own and drive a new Prado, it does have its flaws. However i cant find myself buying a ford anytime soon. Ford isnt really known for its reliabilty and with quite a few issues with the new fords trickling through it is slight cause for concern with me. If you like a Ford buy one, but for me i know what i am going to get with a Toyota.

Is the current 4x4 Everest registered as a MC classified (4x4) vehicle? Don’t think you can put legal lifts / tires on them if they have the standard MA….

Hi, for what it`s worth, I am 77, South African, and have had a few Fords of yesteryear which were very dependable. To go back even further, my late Dad was a truck driver in the SADF in WW2. He drove a 1939 Ford 5 ton troop carrier truck from my hometown of Port Elizabeth at the very bottom tip of Africa, through the untamed wilds of Africa and the desert battlefields of North Africa, to El Alamien, Tobruk, Sudan, Tunisia, Libya and into Cairo, Egypt. Without any trouble. As you may gather, my Dad only ever bought Fords in his lifetime.

Why do they not put the rear wiper on the top instead of on the bottom. The spare wheel is also in a difficult place under the boot - no other options for it?

The thing that will let this down is Ford themselves. Having dealt with Ford with issues over brand new cars (Territory, Falcon, Focus and Everest) and their absolutely appalling after sales service, this is why I bought a Prado. And you can bet your very bottom dollar that in 5-10years the Prado will continue to be a sought after used vehicle working at 100%. Whereas unfortunately the Everest will not. Yes the Everest is glitzy and has the wow factor, but it simply isn’t the medium to long term proposition of the Prado.

Additionally most of the system response lagging are caused of ‘AI learning’ which means we as a owner needs to give some time for the infotainment to learning our interact habits.

It frustrates me that in this day and age and with the processing power microchips have, that they didn’t put a chip in that powers the centre screen smoothly. For 80k and considering it’s the centrepiece of the car, I would expect it to run smooth. Where else did they cut corners if they can’t even do that?

The Ford Everest is a cool Asia-Pacific American full-size SUV also a fit for Aussies for outback driving.
