The Trend spec is extraordinarily well kitted out for a lower range model .... I'm impressed. The bi-turbo is plenty good enough considering it was the top engine in the 2021 Ranger / Everest.
3 months in and I am loving my Trend. Easy transition up from a Mondeo. Driving dynamics are terrific. Wife was angsty about size of vehicle and now realises how good is the higher seating position and the ride comfort on highway and off road. Really impressed in economy. Cabin noise very low and sound system easy to work. Would have liked the brilliant voice control of the Mondeo repeated in the Everest. Car Play and Siri nowhere near as easy to use. Have mates with other 4WD brands who get sad 😢 when I am looking at a 4l/100k difference to them even when not towing. Yep I am loving this vehicle.
I took delivery of my new-gen Trend in late October and have travelled about 4500km so far, roughly 1:2 city:country. My previous vehicle was an April 2020-delivered Trend, also 2.0L Bi-turbo, in which I had travelled 82000km to all parts of WA in that 2.5 years. It did not miss a beat. Plenty of highway and outback dirt cruising, but almost no hard-core 4Wding. So far, I'm a little disappointed in the fuel consumption, showing at 9.6L/100, whereas the previous vehicle averaged about 8.6L/100km. Hopefully it will improve with time. One thing to be aware of with travel on gravel roads is that the rear mudflaps are too short to prevent stones abrading the mudflaps and underbody lip behind the mudflaps. It was also a problem on the previous model, but is significantly worse on the new model. At least the new model has a black plastic underbody cover. It's already shredded, but at least the chips have not peppered the paintwork as happened on the previous model. For a vehicle supposedly developed and tested in Australia, I find it bizarre that it was not noticed and action taken to mitigate it in the design. Ranger rear mudflaps appear to extend lower. I've written to Ford Australia about it but, of course, no reply or even acknowledgement. By my estimate, the rear mudflaps need to extend 30-40mm lower.
After your detailed review, we decided to buy Endeavour (in India) in 2016, we enjoy every ride till now. It is sad that Ford left India, and we can't buy this now! Thanks for this nice review again Paul.
I noticed you mentioned the front parking sensors go off when exiting the water crossing and that it'd be nice to have a switch to turn them off. If you look in front of the gear lever there is a button there to disable them :)
Been umm and ahhing about what to buy for the last few months and was seriously considering the mux but for the same amount of money theres just so much more on offer here in terms of tech and its a nicer design .. I don't plan on doing serious offroading so this suits me fine.
Same here but I’m leaning towards the MUX. Ford has it on tech. but having a full size computer in front of me while driving just isn’t appealing. I will test drive both in a couple of months though before waiting 12 months for delivery !
Another great video Paul, hoping you’re going to do a v6 sport review as have one due for delivery next month and really interested to see whether its the same off-road.
I owned a previous gen Everest titanium with the 4cyl and it is very well setup with the transmission. Sure it ain't going to put a smile on your face or drag race at the green light but it was very good.
Everest is a perfect car off the showroom that’s affordable and ready for a trip around Aus. Hitch up a caravan and anything else for that matter and set off in confidence and safety
Paul, the longer wheelbase of the Ranger will give it an advantage on that hill. Also, the ground looked quite damp, which clogged up the tyres. This will affect the traction.
@@CarExpertAus the fact that it was dry simply equalised the two cars. The car with 21" wheels had dry ground while the Trend had wet with 18" wheels. For off-roading, a higher profile will always be superior. Your Raptor for example has 17" wheels with an even larger profile as the tyre diameter is larger.
Yup your right on the money! went for the Trend... wider guards 20 inch wheels now looks the part ..... Brillant truck.. defiantly not entry level lots or bells and whistles ! Lots of road presents as well! It's just awesome.... saying a lot as I've always gone for Toyota...... time for a change, Sold!!
for your hill section, perhaps I am wrong, but I think the reason why it doesn't do as well is because it does lock the center differential. Whereas the Ranger mechanically locks the center when in 4L. This lack of center differential lock is or was in the previous generation also and hardcore enthusiast complain about this. Looking at the wheel slippage from your camera angle, it seems that this was the issue on the hill climb. thoughts?
Paul - It’s interesting that you say the 4 cylinder is noisier, but the noise spreadsheet says otherwise. The data shows the 4 cylinder Trend is noisier on a smooth surface at 80km/h as compared to the Everest Platinum V6, but quieter in all the other measurements despite being on all terrain tyres.
I have the new Everest Trend and find it very good. The only thing I am disappointed in is the operating manual is only in the onboard screen and there does not seem to be downloadable version. It is not a user-friendly manual!
Just wait til NextGenII in a couple years and you’ll see it added. Can’t give up all the fruit in the first release. Hopefully they fix up that gruesome front end in the next series.
We have a 2021 Ford Ranger XLT and have always wanted the Everest rather than the Ute but the towing capacity wasn’t as good until now. We have a 2.5 atm Off road Rhinomax and wondering if the Trend would be suitable. We don’t do any serious off road driving whether towing or not. Cheers
Why do people keep comparing everest to the prado they are not the same category. Fortuner and pajero is the same category as this. Its bronco vs prado not everest vs prado
The manual mentions shifting between 2H, 4A and 4H can be done at any speed. Do they really mean any speed? Most shifts on the fly I’ve seen are capped at 100km/h. Is the Everest system really “any speed”?
I tried to do the build and price on the Ford Web pages and for the trend model i couldn't pick the touring pack. Is this just cause it was online? Or i have to talk to the dealership in person to get the touring pack
Are you sure the front has steel underbody protection? On the current Ranger and Everest it is plastic. Maybe a note on the uphill test, what was the tyre pressures for each of the vehicles? It makes a massive difference. In my last video I tested it on a 4x2 Everest. From basically getting stuck in sand at 2.5 just by lowering it to 1.0 bar I was able to drive without any problems.
@@4WheelingSA No idea but probably not that thick, also seems they've changed it since I ordered, it's standard on the Platinum and has been removed from the off-road pack.
@@simonr2364 it's changed, if you go build one now it's standard on Platinum, and removed from the off-road pack, no idea why Ford keeps changing things.
Drove both I recon the engine noise is actually about the same u can’t really get rid of it from a diesel engine anyway.. but tyres do make a difference tho
I am looking at a Ranger in XLT or potentially Sport and it's kind of annoying that they miss out on some of the interior goodies only available on the Wildtrack where this Trend gets them and its second from the bottom. It's only minor things but can't understand why the Wildtrack is the only one available with the 12" screen, 2nd glovebox and those additional cup holders. I know it's a 1st world problem but surely Ford could have at least thrown that into the Sport for the Ranger aswell?
I own a 2024 Ford Everest. I would like them to do something different next time with it. This is my only issue with it and maybe put like a sport mode or something although they’ve got lots of power.
I have the v6 sport and loving everything about it so far the platinum is a waste of money. Just need to swap out the 20inch wheels for 17s and some ATs and we good to go
The my23.5 platinum will have steel underbody protection as standard. Thanks for the review. Purchased an Everest at the start of Nov. Signed up for the pre delivery dashcam which when included with Luxury car tax comes to 2.9k (front and back cameras with battery pack) knowing about the usb near the rear view mirror will definitely be cancelling.
Beautifully reviewed I reckon, Paul. Wished you had touched bit more on road noise aspect. Personally I detest road and environmental noise and want a SUV wish almost works like a noise cancelling on the inside? I like the Trend but how noisy would you really say it is. ?Thanks
Hey there - we show the noise measurements in dB on the screen at the 20:56 mark. The comparison to other cars in the segment is in the spreadsheet that's linked in the description. We are still building out this table.
@20:58 Feels louder than in the Platinum... Also, according to your google docs this is quieter than the Platinum??!! One of the readings must be off...
I Paul Beautiful video like always. I got the V6 sport and the only thing I don’t like is fuel consumption. Full tank is doing like 500km, Ford Australia claiming: -Fuel consumption combined: 8.5/100km -Fuel consumption extra Urban: 7.6/100km -Fuel consumption urban: 10.2/100km -Fuel Average distance 941km. -Fuel maximum distance 1053km -Fuel minimum distance 784km Can you do a video another video for the V6 please.
Probably the way youre driving it. Diesels dont need to be revved to get moving. Just let the transmission get it up to speed You don't need to gas it just to move off the stop light.
Hello Paul I love your videos, if I had to choose I car I would like you to review it would be the Toyota 70 series: troop carrier (my favourite car). PS nice video.
Had a good old chuckle at "a smaller display that looks a little bit...not as impressive" Just say it...a little bit sheit? I though so too. :) Nice car though.
A fairer comparison would be the Toyota Fortuner as it's the ute based Toyota SUV. While Prado does still get cross-shopped, the Fortuner is the technical competitor.
Ute based or not ute based is kind of irrelevant - What matters is the end result. Everest end result is very good, much better than Fortuner, therefore comparisons start with Prado.
@@gtok12345 agree on that. Looking at the size and specifications I would compare it against the Prado. Perhaps the previous Everest was comparable to the Fortuner but definitely not this new model.
Interesting Review. How would it compare to the Toyota Fortuner? I currently drive the Fortuner and the current Everest. The everest drives really nice, it just feels as if the Fortuner is a bit tougher. As if you can throw more tuff conditions at it. Maybe it is just a perception.
the old everest was already better than the fortuner. almost all the ute-based 4x4 wagons are better than the fortuner - as family cars. in heavy off road driving i suspect the fortuner will be a bit better than the everest.
Test drove the Ambiente. Very smooth ride on the 17inch wheels. I imagine the Sport on 20s is a much harder ride. Also it feels light and is brisk. The RWD is 108kg lighter than the 4WD and 200kg lighter than the 6 cylinder 4WD. Very nice spec with the cloth uphostery I think
A few of them don’t have teeth to hold bottles in securely and we tested a car recently (can’t remember which one it was) that didn’t fit a regular bottle in the centre console.
@@deangrima I am struggling to find any information about the 10r60 being used in the 22 onwards Ranger/Everest. I am trying to find a Ford build sticker with the TR code T, but so far only Bronco and Explorer. Will keep looking, and it is good news if they get the updated transmission. Cheers.
@@barron204 10R60 is fitted to the Bronco as it has a lower towing capacity, 10R80 is in the Ranger/Everest having 3500kg/7700lb approx tow capacity, along with F150, Mustang whilst the larger F-Series SuperDuty Trucks get the 10R140 transmission. All three models same family developed jointly by Ford/GM with the differences being physical size using more robust components to deal with the increasing load capability from 60 to 80 to 140 model.
USB for the dashcam is wow. The second row seats do not look comfy, less under thigh support. I would have liked 4 seater version where rear two seats are captain dentist's seats that can recline almost horizontal.
Hi Paul, could you please review the new Hyundai Palisade or do a comparison with the Everest? It would be interesting to see the luxury differences and the off road capabilities.
Everest should be light-years ahead as @mmm BASS! said, but a great idea for a comparo to understand the usability for day to day / week to week users. 4WD - real off road - is not an everyday requirement for most metro drivers
Im going from a Palisade to a new Ranger Platinum. Test drove the Everest Platinum and would say luxuries are on par with each other. The Palisade is a much bigger cabin with more space and storage. But the Palisade doesnt have as much punch as the V6. If comparing to the bi-turbo, the Palisade is a smoother and more refined 4 cylinder diesel engine. I have only ever owned Hyundai's since getting my licence and the only reason ive jumped from Hyundai to Ford is because Hyundai dont have a ute or an SUV with real towing and 4x4 capability. Sad that Hyundai still has quite a few gaps in their product range. After driving the bi-turbo and V6, I absolutely love the smoothness and sound of the V6. Reliability will be an interesting thing with the V6. Hyundai's 2.2 diesel is a bulletproof diesel motor and the 8 speed TC auto is butter smooth. Hope the Ranger lives up to the Expectations I have coming from the Hyundai Palisade (Hyundai make a bloody good car these days).
You cant compare the Everest with a Palisade! The Everest competes in the off-road SUV market. Everest is up against Toyota Fortuner/Prado, Isuzu MUX and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport
Everyone updates their phone for faster performance. So then why do car manufactures feel slow laggy screen refreshes are fine on a 2022 infotainment system. They're not.
Yes many cars today share platforms that were designed with many different models in mind. If anything I think Ford's new platform was designed as an SUV in mind with input from VW as the new Ranger definitely doesn't handle like most other utes. A comparison between Everest and Fortrunner would be no contest in all bar possibly extreme off-road situations which buyers of these vehicles generally don't encounter.
The Trend spec is extraordinarily well kitted out for a lower range model .... I'm impressed. The bi-turbo is plenty good enough considering it was the top engine in the 2021 Ranger / Everest.

There is also a swipe switch to disable parking sensors on the tablet on the 4WD screen shutting them up when off roading...

9:58 wow one of the few new cars that put a USB port for the dash cams! 🎉 Wish much more new gen cars adopt this design!
A lot of the suv's have that as well, it's just for whatever reason most utes don't get it.
Skoda does this and I love it.
Wish they did an Everest Raptor. That would be epic.
Ford, if this happens... shutup and take my money!
And my money.
They’ve announced an Everest Tremor. One step closer!
Full 4x4, Sunroof, lumbar support and other features makes it more comparable to the Prado, rather than Fortuner.
Another great video Paul, hoping you’re going to do a v6 sport review as have one due for delivery next month and really interested to see whether its the same off-road.
This is beautiful 😭. The design reminds me of the bronco that we don't get here in NZ and AUS
Austria get the bronco
I owned a previous gen Everest titanium with the 4cyl and it is very well setup with the transmission. Sure it ain't going to put a smile on your face or drag race at the green light but it was very good.
Forester has more rear leg room . They should option 5 seat only version and allow the second row to slide back and forth .

Hey Paul is there any chance you could review the Hyundai i30 sedan n I've been looking at buying one
Looks really cool
When will we see XL/XLS Ranger review? Would also love to see a drag race between the PX3 Raptor and the Next Gen Raptor, just for laughs!
Early next year :-)
Hi Paul.Please review hyundai palisade 2023. Thanks
Name of your shoes?
I bet Paul you can’t show us an Everest or Ranger with sport mode turn on.
This Everest will be the main competitor to the Toyota Prado...
Test drove the Ambiente. Very smooth ride on the 17inch wheels. I imagine the Sport on 20s is a much harder ride.
Also it feels light and is brisk. The RWD is 108kg lighter than the 4WD and 200kg lighter than the 6 cylinder 4WD. Very nice spec with the cloth uphostery I think
@ 27:45
How’s it feel again Paul?😂
Most importantly is it reliable ??
Nah. Only Toyota is the reliable brand in the whole universe!
Just curious, did you ever find a car that has dramas with bottles?
A few of them don’t have teeth to hold bottles in securely and we tested a car recently (can’t remember which one it was) that didn’t fit a regular bottle in the centre console.
The 10r80 is starting to show issues in the Ranger, so now it’s a wait and see for the Everest.
Since they're the same car I'd imagine the same problems to show. Already seeing reports of rangers catching fire
New Ranger / Everest use the updated 10R60 transmission. Hopefully there has been some improvements.
@@deangrima I am struggling to find any information about the 10r60 being used in the 22 onwards Ranger/Everest. I am trying to find a Ford build sticker with the TR code T, but so far only Bronco and Explorer. Will keep looking, and it is good news if they get the updated transmission. Cheers.
@@deangrima Found something here. The new Raptor model has the 10r60 but the regular has the 10r80.
@@barron204 10R60 is fitted to the Bronco as it has a lower towing capacity, 10R80 is in the Ranger/Everest having 3500kg/7700lb approx tow capacity, along with F150, Mustang whilst the larger F-Series SuperDuty Trucks get the 10R140 transmission. All three models same family developed jointly by Ford/GM with the differences being physical size using more robust components to deal with the increasing load capability from 60 to 80 to 140 model.
USB for the dashcam is wow. The second row seats do not look comfy, less under thigh support. I would have liked 4 seater version where rear two seats are captain dentist's seats that can recline almost horizontal.
The increased tire noise is because of the AT tires.
Is it not more of a Fortuner competitor?
Both.
Hi Paul, could you please review the new Hyundai Palisade or do a comparison with the Everest? It would be interesting to see the luxury differences and the off road capabilities.
Surely Everest light-years ahead than the Palisade in the off-road department
Everest should be light-years ahead as @mmm BASS! said, but a great idea for a comparo to understand the usability for day to day / week to week users. 4WD - real off road - is not an everyday requirement for most metro drivers
Palisade review coming up!
Im going from a Palisade to a new Ranger Platinum. Test drove the Everest Platinum and would say luxuries are on par with each other. The Palisade is a much bigger cabin with more space and storage. But the Palisade doesnt have as much punch as the V6. If comparing to the bi-turbo, the Palisade is a smoother and more refined 4 cylinder diesel engine. I have only ever owned Hyundai's since getting my licence and the only reason ive jumped from Hyundai to Ford is because Hyundai dont have a ute or an SUV with real towing and 4x4 capability. Sad that Hyundai still has quite a few gaps in their product range.
After driving the bi-turbo and V6, I absolutely love the smoothness and sound of the V6.
Reliability will be an interesting thing with the V6.
Hyundai's 2.2 diesel is a bulletproof diesel motor and the 8 speed TC auto is butter smooth.
Hope the Ranger lives up to the Expectations I have coming from the Hyundai Palisade (Hyundai make a bloody good car these days).
You cant compare the Everest with a Palisade! The Everest competes in the off-road SUV market. Everest is up against Toyota Fortuner/Prado, Isuzu MUX and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport
Wouldn't a suitable competitor to the Everest be the Toyota Fortuner ?
Yep. And the Prado. People cross shop both.
in the market, yes. in reality, no. the fortuner is not as civilised, or as spactious.
Assuming the Trend model is the volume seller, this is Australia’s new Commodore. $65k. For a Ute. Ouch
I feel it is a direct competitor to the Toyota Fortuner. And it seems way better to me.
Everyone updates their phone for faster performance. So then why do car manufactures feel slow laggy screen refreshes are fine on a 2022 infotainment system. They're not.
Agreed!
@franklindavid1195 Did I leave you feedback? When?
The ranger probably has less weight will make it easier to push up hill with less wheels spinning
This is the one.
We will never be able to ride Ford Everest in Iran and we regret it
I wish we could use modern cars one day
In South Africa the the rangers direct competitor from Toyota is the Fortuner which is based on the Hilux
The Prado has long been disgraced by the Everest.
This model is the platinum version in the Philippines. Dmn you ford ph.
NextGen Everest is no longer ‘Ute-based’. The chassis has been completely re-engineered.
Yes many cars today share platforms that were designed with many different models in mind. If anything I think Ford's new platform was designed as an SUV in mind with input from VW as the new Ranger definitely doesn't handle like most other utes. A comparison between Everest and Fortrunner would be no contest in all bar possibly extreme off-road situations which buyers of these vehicles generally don't encounter.
