Bought this vehicle new in September 2017 as a tug for the van and a family transport/recreation vehicle I did not buy it as a hard core bush basher. It had not given one ounce of trouble till last month when it failed to start soon after fueling. I booked it in for maintenance but couldn't get in for a week. Long before this, it had failed three more times. I got an urgent appointment with my local Ford dealers (Klosters Raymond Terrace who see the car once a year for a service) and on arrival there, it wouldn't start when they went to take ...Read more

I purchased a new Everest Titanium in January 18 and now done 16,000 K's. Since purchase the car has been into the dealers with issues no less than 8 times. Firstly in March the aircon required re gasing. Then the cruise module was playing up and soft wear updates did not fix so eventually replaced - And again still playing up with more software updates. In May the gear box seal was replaced and am told now 7 months later that it needs replacing again. ( I see from other reviews that this may be common).This is very poor from a vehicle of this ...Read more

Bought vehicle new. Long term Ford customer as family involved ln Ford.
Great highway cruiser and good tow vehicle. High fuel consumption in city around 11l/100km.
Poor ride for rear seat passengers as bouncy on country road making kids sick.

Build quality poor. Panel fit not great. Many Everest have had same issues as Rangers.
Have had rear engine oil seal leak (very common) and possibly recurring.
Multiple glow plug failure which has no dash warning. Recognised as a fault by Ford and common.
Failure to recognise leads to tip breaking and head cylinder damage as attested by the poor Ranger owner at Bayfords the same day mine was in for repair.

Multiple battery failure due to Smart charge system. ...Read more

I would say good 4wd/suv built by ford,sturdy body,spacious interior(not enough head room for tall peoples),engine noise is high compared with rival products,good ground clearance that enable you to take car anywhere without any concern of scraping underbody,park assist/self parking and panoramic moonroof are awesome,20” alloy wheels gives a sporty look.Much more features needs to be mentioned.
Ford needs to add more features and improve build quality since Everest mainly rivals with Toyota Prado.They need to add features such as driver seat ...Read more

As a japanese car buyer historically I didn't expect much from a Ford but it was way better to drive than Prado and technology, infotainment, interior and overall look were way better so took a punt and bought instead of Prado. Overall fit and finish are slightly below Prado and it has a bit more plastic under it where Toyota use steel but I took a chance on this as well.

After 40,000km on a trip around Australia towing a camper trailer on some pretty rough roads the car has performed well with no issues or problems. As I said being a Ford ...Read more

Hi. Our previous tow vehicles were Mitsubishi Pajero's x 3. The Pajero spare wheel made it awkward to fit the caravan connecting bits, the Grandchildren became to large for the seats in the back and our new caravan was over the tow bar weight limits for the hitch weights (Pajero, over 2500 kg the ball weight limit is 180 kg). However liked the Pajero very much.
The Everest has solved all those problems, plenty of space in the 3 rd row for adult size people, you can move the 2 nd row forward for more room while leaving plenty of space there, a t...Read more

Car is great, comfortable, goes well and the tech is great when it works. The problem we've found with such a high tech car is that if you're unlucky enough to get a software glitch the mechanics at the dealer are simply not equipped to handle it. We have had two problems with our Everest.

The first one was an "adblue malfunction" (this is not the same as getting low on adBlue). It claimed to be a malfunction in the adBlue system and informed the driver that the car itself would stop working within a certain number of kilometres (e.g 897km)....Read more
