Toyota Fortuner vs Ford Everest: In-Depth Comparison & Review (2016)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ค. 2024
- It’s hard to believe, but the previous Toyota Fortuner was launched in South Africa back in 2006. The model showed impressive stamina in the market; even towards the very end of its shelflife, it still sold very well, holding the number one spot in the segment of bakkie-based SUVs.
However, Ford’s new Everest, which arrived late in 2015, has certainly given Toyota something to think about. With a high level of comfort and interior space, not to mention good looks, how does the latest Fortuner compare to the hugely improved Everest?
In this video, we investigate:
- Ride comfort on gravel and tar
- Interior space and comfort
- Boot space
- 3rd row seating comfort
- Infotainment system capability
- Pricing

The first reviewer to mention the third row not reclining. Massive respect. So far I've only heard brochures and marketing bumf being read back to me.
I have my Fortuner 4x4 automatic since 2010 at almost 45k kms. now, no maintenance repair until now except for the usual change oil and change oil filter. And i just changed the brake pads few months ago. Very durable and affordable medium size suv.
+AbuNaser ALkindi nope. The earlier models of hilux and fortuner had a narrower track front and rear. Combined with stiffer suspension and much higher speeds than previous generation hiluxes(3.0kzte) most of the rollovers were people not realizing how quick they are going. The wider track was standard after the first facelift.

It appears I was wrong. The problem still persists!!!! Search for Hilux elk test. It's still the worst vehicle in its class for emergency avoidance. So the hilux and consequently the Fortuner will still flip! Goodness gracious.
+Sean Fenwick the ford kuga and everest catches fire in Australia and sa
I got a ford fiesta 2012 for dirt cheap i was excited.. then found out that they had a huge recall and life time problems with the clutch etc... sob! Toyota for me.
I am from Kenya and there is an increase in the demand of the two SUV's. Great review there.
For me everest is better, in the top of the line is full of features which very helpful in my driving habit such as:
1. terrain management
2. lane departure warning
3. pre coalition warning
4. auto high beam lights
5. adoptive cruise control
If ford will put the push botton, paddles shift, and remote start this may be a very good suv
Pre coalition warning.
That's should come in handy in parliament .
It's more than 4 years, time to do another comparison between these two beast
True, and they can use real data, not just reviewer opinions and bias.
Finally, a good and honest comparison between the two 👌👌
absolutely informative video. keep up the good work !
Awesome review, great factors considered - and which are actually relevant to SA! Nice One!!
I dont care which is better, I want them both!
Wow I thought I was the only one
I also want them both☺️
The Everest is better even though they aren’t exactly good vehichles
😂😂😂😂😂
I Had driven a Fortuner diesel model 2006. I was amazed the power of this SUV. The acceleration is quite good. We went to Zambales from Manila and the driving was so smooth. The speed was great. When I check the dipstick of the oil. Amazing the color of the oil like pouring a new oil in it. I haven't driven a Everest yet but I think it has more power than the Fortuner. I love these 2 SUVs.
Great review very informative!
I think there is one point that u didn't mention. The Everest is much more quiet in its cabin due to the active noise cancellation technology, accompanied with its more generous third row, so the Ford provides more relaxed feeling at long distance traveling.
I'd like to see an updated version with the new 2020 Titanium Everest.
Great review. Thx.
One question, can the seats at the rear of the Fortuna be removed. I don't need a seven seater.
you missed the safety ratings, good comparison thought.
Nice review and lovely music used in the background! Can you share the music source please?
We'll drop you a message...
Cars.co.za what a lovely music you have
Really awesome comparison. ..
actually I was waiting for these two cars comparison
thank you ..
but I will go with Ford ..
It has got sunroof and all ..
and you forgot to highlight peddle shift in fortuner. ..
Great review, as always! Would love to see a review on the Pajero. Not that much popular as the everest or fortuner, but I reckon a force to be dealt with ;)
+Riaan Ackerman Here you go! th-cam.com/video/XAT72evokP4/w-d-xo.html
The Pajero is old school but absolutely unbreakable.
I would say it's very honest review, I had test drive both cars, Please do make a head 2 head battle, PS, FE, TF, TB, MUX, I think all is available now in SA
Please do a new one with the 2.2 Everest and 2.4 Fortuner!!
Perfect review, thanks! -from da Philippines
The Ahern Family wow you are really a FORD lover bro.. how’s your ford Everest anyway?
me 2, ako rin
hi im ur subscriber and watching ur vlog
good review. and right pick at the end
Wow simply great review. Greetings from India 🙏
As always a nice Review
A classic battle of two bumpy rides!
Make a video about Toyota Fortuner VS Ford Everest Vs Mitsubishi Pajero Sport
another cars coza brilliant review
It would have been better, had you included the cabin noise and vibration insulation.
What's the music theme song name in the ending guys? Please tell me. Sounds great and relaxing. Thanks :)
Toyota is the best! Low maintenance, more reliable, economical, availability of spare parts, simple engine easy to diagnose and repair by mechanics, and high resale value. My 2017 toyota fortuner 4x4 V is still like brand new.
Good bro keep it up.
when i bought it my dream came true.
Which of them have options for captain seat on the 2nd row?
Fortuner is very much like the Lexus GX but dang that Everest looks better. Wish that Ford had a a proper SUV like that in the States.
Am baptising my self as Fortuner....
Fortuner ✌👌
you should remind pple to subscribe all the time great reviews
I have both. But i think everest is the better suv
BEAD HEMSWORTH seriously u have both car. Tell in detail which have more maitaince. On road which more good. Share ur experience
@@coolvishal1982 everest has smoother driving exp and fortuner has great driving power which is hard for amateurs like me.
@@shadecluster8840 you must be rich.... 2 SUV's from the same class
If I have both cars I wouldn't say which one is better cuz both looks great to me
Ford Everest is better but Fortuner is cheaper and affordable.
Excellent video
Iv'e had the old model Toyota Fortuner since January 2006, 10.5 Years, nothing has ever gone wrong, nothing has ever broken, it's been totally reliable, it goes everywhere, through floods, across muddy fields, nothing has ever been too much for this car. I'm in Thailand and Toyota Service is excellent and Toyota Dealerships and service centres are everywhere.
I like the look of the Ford, but in Thailand Ford has a very bad reputation for poor after sales service and general reliability of the cars, so as much as I like the look of the new Everest, I wouldn't risk buying one, I don't like the style of the new Fortuner but if I was getting a new SUV in Thailand, it would be a Fortuner, purely on the basis of my Toyota's bulletproof reliability.
But I'm keeping my 2006 model, it's been too good to get rid of, and I removed the rear seats on mine shortly after I got it, they come out easily and now I have a Bulletproof 5 seater with a ton of cargo space.
same sentiments regarding both cars. and taking out the seats for more cargo is really the way to go. Happy to know that there are people there who know the real gist of cars. I guess poeple choose the ford for the looks and ride,and for those who use it for city driving.
Nico Presbi pagero
I bought a fusion in 2005. No repair till date .Endeavour is a superb car not the fortuner
Fortuner is a plastic man
Endeavour can defeat fortuner in any ways
MickeyPattaya u are wrong
MickeyPattaya Aren't you bored driving the same shitty Taxi for 10 years only for the reliability?😲 Feeling sad for you!😷
What color is the everest in this video? is it aluminum gray?
Good review. I like the Fortuner even more now after watching this vid.
William teoh the furtuner is small compare to Everest
Great review of the Ford and Teeota
Hi we're getting the toyota fortuner G variant. Just worried we might regret it afterwards. Could u please help us ease our minds?
Thanks in advance for those who will comment 👍
willl there be a navara based suv??
Soon i will take that car. Love how it was built well! 🤗
What is the title of the song in 0:20? Please :)
Ford Everest the best for me
I like both,ford for power ,towing and beauty and fortuner for reliability,durability ,Japanese looks and off-road use
Nice , make some more
Whats the name of the song that plays from 0:20 guys?
You must try the Titanium for Everest and Trd for Fortuner
i recently just bought a fortuner this week and im loving it. 😘
9:07 DAB lol xD
thanks sir excellent reviews I like fortuner better value
which is fuel save furtuner or everest??
hi ppl,
is it possible to detach/remove 3rd row seats?
the fords middle seats move forward as well?? giving plenty room in the kids seats
Well this vehicles are still not available in UK. but the Hilux and the Ranger are sold here I wish it became available here to in U.K.G.B
To rate build quality find both 2008 fortuner and everest, you can clearly find which car is made with quality not only looks and fancy gimmick
Thats why toyota cars still holds their value especially on their suv n 4x4 cars
Exactly. Very well said
if you go to buy through financing i preferred toyota because of the appraisal value of the car
Here in my country it's the opposite, the top variant Everest is a lot cheaper than the top variant Fortuner eventhough the Everest is better equipped. The top variant Fortuner we have in my country still uses rear drum brakes. Ouch!
+Kenneth Huang yep. That really shocked me
Zero Tolerance it's the same with the price in Jamaica too, the fortuner is actually the most expensive in its class (it's almost the same price as the Prado) and the Everest is the cheapest, although this may be attributed to the Fortuner being in the market since its first generation and this generation's Everest is the first one that is dealer sold.
i like the everest and fortuner next year i gonna buy everest but is one million if new in philippines
I hope next lounge fortuner , passenger seats back rest can adjust.like terra
HOW MUCH IS THE 2X2 TITANIUM MANUAL TYPE OF THIS CAR IN THE PHILIPPINES?
Im going back to toyota. Bought a Ranger 3.2 and based from my experience,the ancillaries are easier to break down with the american brand. Had a fortuner before and never had any problems with such. Goodluck to the buyers out there.
Nice review
everest is good
M2 review soon ?
Fortuner the best ( very honest review
Which one is faster
The Everest also has trailer sway functionality
Anyone else find the more 'narrow' seats in the Fortuner (or Hilux) more comfortable and supportive while driving winding roads?
Everest built like a tank
Just notice every time there is a point in the Everest's favor the presenter looks unhappy. :-)
I seen this other double cap trying to pull a truck, it failed... They used Fortuna and it took it in seconds
Very objective review. Keep up the good work. However i would give the win to the Everest not so much for the value but i think you get an overall better experience with it than the Fortuner. That, for me is better than saving R45,000. As for the perceived sluggishness of the engine, i think a drag race somewhere in between the review would have settled that. I feel the Everest would win; very marginally though.
true
Gitonga Kelvin
F fix
O or
R repair

basel pc you own one?
In my country the fortuner cost more than the Everest
@@baseline4102 Toyota fanboy
Fortuner looks more beautiful but the comfort and performance much better in endeavor
impressive
Check the new endeavor n fortuner 2019
what is their price
Both are beast but my choice is fortuner for looks, power, off roading, reliability, cheaper and easier technology ❤
That’s not a topline everest tho, no sunroof and daytime running lights, but it matched the top fortuner
Did he say, engine s better bcoz its more economical? Dude, wr r u from?
pls next race a45 vs m2
+Morne Pretorius Hi there, we quickly organised this for you: th-cam.com/video/w4ZCw7G4HhA/w-d-xo.html
Fortuner grid looks nice and Endeavour rear is nice
Jeez .. not too sure if I'm illiterate but the figures give the Everest a clear win except on price .... which is always negotiable
Ford has powerful engine 3.2 & silent cabin , automatic roof & luxury.
When u have power & luxury you are the king.
Like ford endeavour.
It’s not luxurious buddy. Trust me, it’s an okay car. But none of them are good, and boy is it loud in the car
Reduction transfer cases are better than terrain management system
My lolo have the ford everest. Its an 4WD drive. Is it all surface tyers? Guys answer it
Buying tomorrow everest with upgrades
I'll take the Toyota always
In my opinion both are quite naturally qood. Honestly, I'm a Toyota Land Cruiser 6 cylinder, v8, vx type of guy, eversince. For me Toyota Land Cruiser is perfect. No offense for the other suv brand lover. 😊
@I am Zcenitz can you donate me a car please I'm from Kenya even a small engine will really appreciate
i really don't agree with ur review here.
The ford everest is a far more advanced suv with good power, luxury and technology.
We get wat we pay for right?
The everest just drives so well. The kind of level its achieved in ride and handling department is outstanding for an suv of tat size. And it is also slightly bigger in size where u will end up sitting in a much wider and rommier cabin than the toyota.
And also in other markets the everest has managed to outsell its competition and a class above i.e prado.
thank you.
Do a test on 200 000km with the same engine as it came.
Our Everest has 200k now and no problems thus far.
It's been a fantastic car. No regrets
An Everest was on fire this weekend alongside the road, so...... ford tries hard to change their brand name.
And please, I am not a Ford hater nor a lover. Though, would like to see the Ford Raptor when it lands in SA - looks impressive.
Was towing a 260kg trailer on Namibian beaches with my 2.4 Fortuner 4x4 recently through difficult sand, and the Fortuner had no issues in doing so. Was surprised by its capability - have to note that I have more than 20 years of 4x4 experience. I purposely did not buy the 2.8 Fortuner - too many electronics and sea salt humidity does not go along (obviously pricing was also considered - the 2.8 does not offer that much more in performance for R140 000 more - 2018 pricing). Eventually we buy these 4x4’s for its off-road functionality. Not all off-road tracks need all 4 wheels engaged. This is the option provided by Toyota. I like the reliability of the Fortuner with its solid name and history, and Toyota’s dealership network.
There is no perfect 4x4, it is all about your specific needs and sometimes pocket. I have seen the almost R2million Mercedes G-lander in Namibia; it will not exceed the Fortuner’s capability. I will still maintain my view that the Landcruiser 79-series is the real/ideal/serious off-roader - this comes with a dent in the pocket
It's only one car . So not a big deal. Mitsubishi is prone to have sua scandals. So buy this
@@Ford-Explorer606 How did you get onto the Mitsubishi-train. I sold my 20 year old Toyota 4x4 a year ago for more than I initially purchased it for. Ford cannot do this with their known drivetrain issues. Unfortunately one burning car is one too many.
@@willieengelbrecht9825 here there is a 1985 f150 with 502k on it. It has no issues yet. My 2012 expedition has 220k miles on it no issues
@@willieengelbrecht9825 but still agree with you on Toyotas brilliant reliability
@@Ford-Explorer606 now you talking about a truck in a different class. The f150 1985 you referring to is solid vehicle. If I can afford a f150 2021 model, I will buy it without a second thought. But those have to be imported costing two arms and legs.
8:24 did anyone notice check engine light on the ford everest dash ;-) .ford seems to have some reliability issues here
Lol the engine isn't even on...
I just like Ford everest because it's good at offroad and she have a mod
I think this presenter is the Toyota fan,in reality Everest is the better car
I'd go for the Everest, even though the running costs might be higher.
Why?!?
- Better style;
- Better comfort for driver and passenger;
- Better ride quality;
- Effortless traction control.
#JustMyPersonalOpinion
Please beware fords reliability before you make any decision
Ya I had a 2012 Ford explorer and I am always have an engine problems like atleast twice or 3 times per a year so just you know the reliability on ford sucks and for me the fortuner is better. Why?
- Better Style of course
- The Comfort is about the same
- Better ride quality cuz you will hear the wind when the car moves faster
- better value
@@CarRevvedGaming taxi
You deliberately omitted that fact that the Everest also has a trailer sway assist.
they r both nice
