2024 Ford Everest Reviews

Australia has long held a soft spot for the Ford Everest but does the updated Sport 4WD variant continue to offer families the option of urban hauling and weekend adventuring?

The Ford Ranger Wildtrak has found favour with Australia's ute-loving public over recent years. Now Ford has launched the Everest Wildtrak.But beyond a few styling changes, the Wildtrak is really no different to the Everest Sport.We know the Everest is refined on-road and capable off-road, but is the Wildtrak, priced at more than $74,000, worth the extra money over its stablemates? 

The Ranger Wildtrak has been one of Ford's most popular model grades across its entire line-up for some time. Given that success, it makes complete sense that Ford has added a Wildtrak version of the related Everest SUV to its range. But what does it add to the Everest formula that wasn't already there?

Large SUVs with seven-seat capacity often tend to go hand-in-hand with four-wheel drive. Particularly when the SUV in question is a rugged, body-on-frame design. But what if you don't need that capability, or the extra weight and additional cost that goes with it? Enter Ford's Everest Ambiente 2.0L RWD. We've family tested the Isuzu MU-X, Mazda CX-9 and Toyota LandCruiser Prado rival.
