Ford’s Everest is a three-row SUV sold in Southeast Asia, the Philippines, Australia, the Middle East, Central America, and South Africa. The SUV shares the T6 platform with the newly redesigned Ranger. It can be purchased with the gas-fueled 2.3-liter EcoBoost I-4 found in the stateside Explorer, Focus, Ranger, and Mustang or one of three diesel motors: a 3-liter Power Stroke V-6, and two 2-liter I-4 engines, one with a single turbocharger and one with twin turbos. The Everest has a refined, quiet interior with a 10.1 or 12-inch stacked Sync 4-enabled touchscreen that shows views from the 360-degree camera system. The Everest is also a capable off-road machine, with a locking rear differential, driver-selectable terrain modes, and the ability to cross water up to 2.5 feet deep.
Just last week, Shana E-Sport in Chon Buri, Thailand, presented a Raptor edition of the Everest complete with fender flares, suspension lift, and AMP Terrain Attack off-road tires. Such customizations are popular in Thailand, where full-sized trucks are not commonly sold. As a result, mid-sized models like the Ranger and Toyota Hilux are typically modified to resemble their larger cousins. Shana E-Sport’s neighbor Icon Cars also customizes Ford and Toyota trucks, giving them a more intimidating stance and fierce appearance.
