2020 Ford Everest 2.0L Bi-Turbo Titanium 4x4 SUV - 500Nm Torque is VERY Addictive! | EvoMalaysia.com

I'M NOT REALLY an SUV person. I actually prefer Wagons, but when I was done with this Ford Everest, honestly, I didn't wanna give it back. First-off, it's a bona-fide 4x4, really, it has 4WD High & Low gearing, and Terrain Response to boot, so yes, you can take this behemoth off-road (within reason of course) anytime you want to.
Using a Torque-On-Demand (TOD) 4WD system under normal circumstances, the Everest is able to split 213Ps and 500Nm between all four wheels at any given time. The driver is also able to manually lock the front and rear differentials via a button on the centre console, or go into 4x4 Low when the terrain becomes too rough.
Acceleration is simply phenomenal for something this huge, and make no mistake the Everest is a BIG mutha, a full-size 7-seater. Perhaps its only downfall is its price, which comes in at a hefty RM258,888 for this Titanium variant, while the Trend variant costs RM228,888.
But I'll say this, you get what you pay for. Granted there are many SUVs out there to be had for this kind of money, but hand on heart, you seriously need to check the Everest out. If you're shopping for a proper large 7-seater SUV, this thing has to be on your shortlist.

As someone who had grew up in the older gen Ford Everest. This SUV is a beast! Easy to climb mountain with 8 family members in it, can go fast when needed for emergency. Can haul a lot of stuff too! with 2.0 Turbo engine compared to the previous 2.5 Turbo, should be affordable for semenanjung too for the roadtax. Yeah this car went offroad easily too even when it is in 2WD

Your damn right about the whole "after driving an SUV you won't wanna drive another passenger car" thing. I've been used to driving mpvs and crossovers so when I first tried a proton Gen2 the pedal position and the seating position is so unnatural, instead of your legs bending down they go straight

Awesome!! A rare good car.. Most malaysian don't know about...Ford is always underrated in Malaysia sadly. Many good models that failed miserably in Malaysia, namely Mondeo. Ford should do more rigorous marketing and make people know that this is a really really solid car.

Agreed with you with the "once driven SUV you wont get back to sedan" In my own experience from shifting from 01' Cefiro 3.0 to 04' X-Trail 2.5, the driving position and the practicality is such big difference although the power did lose out ALOT... previously did think of getting another sedan like Inspira and then i came across my current car... No regrets for day2day usage... Driving a sedan still feels good just that feeling something just missing... or should i say SUV just something more than a car

[@MrHarjeetDhaliwal]

Drove many SUV's, still love the sedans - for stability and speed! 🤭. But seriously, Ford Everest screams muscles and masculinity. It is luxurious and a charm to drive but their after sales and service is a let down. But if I have lots of money to spend, I'd definitely get one. At this price range, one can get the latest Toyota Harrier too that comes with lots of safety features and has a very good resale value 😁. But 500Nm on the Everest, it is addictive with pure pleasure. And thanks for the review dude - couldn't find any other from Malaysia. 👍

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Most welcome bud!! Glad u enjoyed it. Yeah this is one helluva machine, but its price sadly puts it out of contention given what's available out there 🙏🏽😊

Because the road conditions in Sarawak are worse than those in West Malaysia, I really want to find out if the engine of the 2019 facelift has improved. Many platforms comment that the engine or gearbox of ranger is easy to break.

you're correct about going fast when merging to highways... usually those road tortoises don't care about another vehicle speeding.. because they just as they are slow, they are automatically the safest bunch at the road..(in their minds) Another gripe with these road tortoises, they so slow even NOT bothered to stop completely at intersection.especially that intersection does not have any traffic lights. I personally been hit 3 times at rear, riding MOTORCYCLE. When they exiting recklessly at intersection, they just slowly creeps out.I don't want to imagine if a speeding container truck behind them. poor that truck driver need to suddenly slow down his vehicle as quickly as possible.. Road Tortoises SOMETIMES worse than speed demons....

This hidden gem of a SUV needs more time in the limelight, it's awesome and I'm not even a fan of SUVs tbh, but oh hell yeah, I like this one 😄

[@fordboy2006]

Sometimes it's not the fault of the distributor/dealer. If they can promote BMW so well, it shows they actually have the ability and "know-how" to market any franchise brand that they are distributing. Don't forget, Sime Darby distributes motor vehicles all over the ASEAN region in various markets and numerous brands. So I would think they know the automotive business quite well. Much has to do with manufacturer support. For any manufacturer to provide support, it depends on the market size and consumers' purchasing power. I am sure the manufacturers have volume targets set for all their distributors/dealers globally. However, local market conditions, government tax regime or infrastructure support throws very different "sidewinders" into the whole equation.

Its how it makes you feel and definitely due to the tax, this is so far out of reach from the masses. I stand by that if getting an SUV, get proper ladder on frame SUV not the new soft-roaders that honestly are a cheat of an experience for the money. Ladder on frame gives toughness (solid safety), visibility, power to perform, space to carry anything and for macho for a guy. But not forgetting paint it black and bit of chrome fittings, its no better than a Lexus RX350 or Mercedes GLS. Its just sad and mad its so expensive!!! Aaaaaahhhh

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Right?! If this was cheaper I reckon it would be everywhere cos it's really amazing. Spotting a Lambo on the road is easier than spotting this 😄

[@stanleyleong9802]

@@ChrisWeevilGarage I think ppl will consider ranger raptor more then everest now. Cheaper price yet better off roading capability. Not much ppl need that 7 seater anyway.

better than fortuner, i dont know about new pajero. the price is a bit pricey, but if can afford it, this everest must be on the list. 😂😂

Yeah man, sorely underrated SUV this 😊

[@izznazranizzahraaisyah4615]

just need to ask u bro,u have tested the car. about the third row sit,is it adjustable? can recline or not? for me this suv is way better than fortuner, can save for roadtax, that bi-turbo engine is really2 something. i’ve tried the brand new fortuner,2.8 diesel. not to say its not good but okay lah, the interior of that everest man is simple but niceeee

Chris says don't know how Ford has put this kind of power in a SUV. 1st Gen VW V10 TDI laughing from the history books... :-)

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

I mentioned that very SUV in the video. But do remember, that was a 5.0L V10, this is a 2.0L 4cyl 😉

[@kamwaitan8763]

If Fortuner with the updated 2.8 engine, not sure Fortuner could perform like this

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Hopefully they would have sorted out the thirst issue with the petrol-driven Fortuner by now, it's a bit of a gas guzzler 😬

[@fordboy2006]

@@ChrisWeevilGarage In my opinion, the only sensible engine for any SUV or 4WD is a turbo diesel....Even the Suzuki SJ410 with it's 989cc engine was "thirsty" ... However, if you own an oil well, then that wouldn't be an issue at all.

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

@@fordboy2006 sadly many don't, me included, lol! But yeah, definitely a Tdiesel engine for trucks and big SUVs like this, it's a perfect match 👍🏾😊

Discuss about PARTS AVAILABILITY. All models of kind of brand with the kind of models but NOT ALL kind of parts are available. How is that? We can have it all, as long as you have the guts to have one expensive car. The parts is one important thing.

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

@@mariamarakino3693 interesting point, yes, some parts are "ready stock" and some have to be ordered, this is the same for every carmaker. They will not have every single part or component that can make a whole car, it makes no sense to keep stock of rarely changed items, cos of factors like space and money. Mostly regular wear and tear items are kept in stock, but if something that usually doesn't break, does, very likely they have to order it from overseas and that takes time, and it's the amount of time that's usually the issue. Hope that answered your question 😊🙏🏽

make sure the suv is tall enough. if u just drive small suv like hrv, u would want to go back to normal car because of the lackluster handling. unless if u can afford porsche macan la. I'm sorry, mazda cx5,cx30,cx8,cx9.

[@Moonface00z]

One thing i do not like ford vehicles in malaysia is the warranty. They only provide 3 years. That is super darn less for 200k vehicle This is why everest is never popular in the country and people might as well go buy recond toyota suv in that price range

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Could be, thanks for the feedback bud!!🙏🏽👍🏾😊

[@silvertab6542]

Dude an "ISSUE" spreading with this SUV. Try watching and read comments about 4x4 biturbo in Philippines. They say (from the owners mouth) its like a small engine with steroids. So the outcome, Bi turbos will put a lot of stress in a small 2liter engine and end up by an EARLY wear and tear in some parts of it. Much better if Ford did a 2.5 - 2.8 liter engine (with bi turbo)

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Thanks for the feedback bud, yeah, but not just this model, ALL small forced-induction engines are highly-stressed units, regardless of body config. This actually started to happen way back in late 90s, and not just for continental models, but Japanese ones too. I think it's a known issue tbh, since cars aren't made to last a lifetime anymore, unlike older cars from the 60s to 80s. "Lifetime" now means 10-15yrs.
