That’s perhaps being a little hard on the Everest…it’s not a sports car, afterall and I doubt any owners would take the thing corner carving.

And it’s been a success for Ford and, along with the Ranger, a showcase of Aussie ingenuity. It’s still comfortable across all sorts of terrain with good noise insulation, road-shock isolation, body control through corners and steering weight.Our test car was fitted with standard-fit 20-inch alloys and this was the first time I’d driven an Everest with these wheels.
I also found with the child seats I had installed that to bring one second-row seat forward to climb through it knocks on the central child seat.The second-row seats slide and adjust for legroom, with the second-row seats in their furthest back position and a rear-facing child seat installed in the second-row I found a 180cm driver could sit in front of it and I could sit in the third-row behind it with enough head and legroom and I'm 162cm, however, headroom and legroom would be tight for anyone much bigger than me.Posting bub into their child seat from outside the car is really nice and easy in the Everest, the door openings are large and the interior is spacious. This opens up a wider range of rough-road friendly tyres and gives you more side-wall for airing down in difficult terrain.In all, the Everest remains the best in class across road and off-road with a ride and handling set-up that reminds you of the Territory. Where the Prado nudges ahead is with its longer travel suspension (which comes with a more roly-poly on-road ride), it’s bigger fuel tank and there’s more room under the bonnet for a second battery.Yes, the Ford Everest offers a 3100kg braked towing capacity with a 310kg towball download. !There are three top tether anchorages across the second-row seatbacks, they are within plastic guides and nice and easy to connect to. There’s plenty of aftermarket gear available for the Everest and plenty of factory stuff from Ford too.If you’re considering Everest or Prado then the Everest pips the Prado for on-road, infotainment and more and it’s only a small step behind it in the rough stuff.

For the Everest, we’d suggest a more realistic towing package would be less than 2000kg.Ford offers a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty. The buttons on the right-hand side on the steering wheel control what is displayed on the right-hand side of the screen in front of the steering wheel.The inbuilt Sat-Nav image was clear and the system nice and simple to use.You can adjust the guidance prompts within the settings screen but it is not a one-touch mute.The indicators are quite loud in the Everest and could disturb a sleeping baby.The doors and windows are both nice and quiet to open and close which is great for a big car like this.The Everest feels like a large family dog! Read the full 2019 Ford Everest review And, oddly for a vehicle which was birthed here in Australia, access to the rear is via the 60 portion of the 60:40 split fold second row. If you add the maximum trailer weight of 3100kg to that you get 5620kg and that leaves you with 280kg for extra people and luggage (payload) only that doesn’t account for the towball download which is 310kg and you need to include that in your calculations. It launched a rear-drive version of the Everest, but it’s less refined set-up was never going to hit the nail on the head.That’s where vehicles like the Endura come in.
The Ford Everest must be the MOST long-awaited and anticipated review for BabyDrive to date! The 3100kg towing capacity is great for bragging against Prado but not a real-world figure. The engine is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. But the difference isn’t as marked as you might think. Only the mid-spec Trend 4×4 offers access to both engines and if you’re a looking for a touring 4×4 wagon, then the Trend is probably the one you’ll look hardest at.Interestingly, while other variants in the range saw price increases, due to extra equipment being added, the Titanium saw a price drop of $711.
