Ford Everest 2024 review: Ambiente 2.0 Bi-Turbo RWD
By Mark Oastler · 24 Nov 2023
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.

By David Morley · 10 Oct 2023
It's big and bold, but is it beautiful? Ford Australia has brought the full-size F-150 pick-up to Australia in two grades and two wheelbase lengths in a bid to expand a market niche already established by the Chevrolet Silverado and RAM 1500.

Ford Ranger 2024 review: Platinum
By Byron Mathioudakis · 15 Aug 2023
The Ranger Platinum highlights Ford's ambitions, pushing its best seller upmarket with lots of chrome, Matrix LED headlights, classy wheels and a fancier interior, giving it unique showroom appeal.
