Ford Australia has released a new special edition variant of its popular Everest SUV.

The brand is reintroducing its Wildtrak nameplate, with only 1000 units to be made available, starting from $79,990 (before on-road costs).

This means it is the same price as the Tremor grade of the car, and roughly $4000 less than the range-topping Platinum example.

Ford cut the Wildtrak grade from the lineup as part of its 2026 model year update, which also saw the phasing out of the four-cylinder twin-turbo diesel engine

The Everest has continued its strong run at the top of the large SUV category, still sitting ahead of the closely-following Toyota Prado

It also takes on the likes of the Isuzu-Ute MU-X and the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport.

The Everest has slipped out of the overall top 10 best-selling cars, according to data from March sales, with smaller and cheaper SUVs such as the Nissan X-Trail and Chery Tiggo 4 taking its place.

The Wildtrak variant has been given a range of features inside and out to distinguish it from the rest of the lineup. 

It has an H-bar front bumper and a gloss black grille with orange elements. It also sits on 20-inch alloy wheels, which are predominantly black with orange inserts. 

The 20-inch wheels can be substituted to 18-inch units free-of-charge to improve the car’s rugged capabilities.

On the inside, there are leather-accented seats, with orange stitching and ‘Wildtrak’ lettering. 

It also gets a panoramic roof and ambient lighting, along with a power-folding third row. 

The Wildtrak Everest gets the same 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 engine, producing 184kW and 600Nm. It also comes with a full-time four-wheel drive system.

The car can be optioned with premium paint for $750 and a towing pack for $2500. 

Production on the 1000 units will begin next month.
