The Ford Everest is a body-on-frame SUV built on the same T6.2 ladder-frame platform as the current Ford Ranger pickup. It shares the Ranger’s engines and much of its front structure. Ford does not sell the Everest in North America; it is a mainstream model in Australia, across Southeast Asia (Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia and neighbouring markets) and in South Africa, where body-on-frame SUVs derived from popular pickups are a large, established segment. The current generation seats up to seven across three rows.
Three diesel engines have carried the range. A 2.0-litre single-turbo inline-4 making 125 kW (168 hp) and 405 Nm became Australia’s entry engine with the MY26.5 update, replacing the 2.0-litre bi-turbo it once used there; the bi-turbo, at 154 kW (207 hp) and 500 Nm, is still offered in other markets. A 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 at 184 kW (247 hp) and 600 Nm sits above both on every grade. All three pair with a 10-speed automatic and four-wheel drive.
Australia, the only market Ford prices centrally, runs a four-grade ladder: Active from AUD 58,990 with the single-turbo diesel or AUD 66,990 with the V6, Sport from AUD 68,990 or AUD 76,990, and the V6-only Tremor and Platinum at AUD 79,990 and AUD 83,490, all before on-road costs. The Everest isn’t sold in the US, so there is no USD price to compare it against. Ford builds the Everest in Thailand and South Africa for their respective regional markets, where trim names and engine-to-trim pairings differ from Australia’s.
