2024 Ford Everest Summary

The Wildtrak grade in Ford’s Ranger line-up has attracted plenty of fans over the years and now the wagon version has arrived.

The Ford Everest Wildtrak replaces the Sport as the second-most expensive variant in the Everest line-up, under the top-shelf Platinum.

At more than $74,000, the Wildtrak gets some extra driver-assist tech and Wildtrak-specific wheels and styling that lower-spec versions don’t.

But under the metal it is no different to any other V6 Everest – same engine, same suspension, same everything. 

So, how good is it off-road? Well, 'Bi-Turbo' and V6 Everests have proven very effective 4WDs on my tests in the past, so I wasn’t expecting any surprises – but you never know.

2023 Isuzu MU-X Summary

If you love the Isuzu D-Max ute but need some extra boot space and seating for the family, then the MU-X is your ride. It's roughly the same price, so you don't feel like you're getting stung for needing those extra features, either.

It's got some competition with the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and new Ford Everest, as well as the Toyota Fortuner, but the four-wheel-drive capabilities and family friendly interior means the MU-X more than holds its own.

I'm beginning to understand why Isuzu doesn't bother having any more than two horses in its stable...
