Best review of Ford Everest! Honest and no filter. Props to West Auckland Ford with their service, hope East Auckland gets that customer service too as I am planning to buy Everest soon.

I have a 2017 Everest Titanium with 150k on the OD. The only issue I had was with the AdBlue sensor. Ford fixed it at no cost. Mine is the 3.2L and all is great. I love my Everest, it's been everywhere on holiday trips with a trailer in tow. It feels really nice on the road on long trips. I have pre-ordered the new Everest but I'm sad to see this go.

At 100,000 kms, I had to spend quite a bit of money on replacing a faulty EGR cooler which also buggered the turbo (new turbo). I was told that these two faults are common with Everests. ADblue system also failed and that was more money spent there about $5k nzd all up.

Hey mate, greetings from India.... i own the 3.2 lt Everest.... i want the same mods that you have done, that is the 2" susoension lift with 33" tyres.... for this, did you have to change the upper or lower arm too?? And what offset alloys are you using?? Yours look a bit jutting out of the fender....

No need to change upper arms with a 2” lift. The wheels are stock but I have a 20mm spacer on them

To be honest, this video is pointless. Come back at 100,000kms. You are reviewing a near new vehicle, of course it feels like a great vehicle. People want to know how the longevity/ reliability long term. You’ve only had it for 4 oil changes……

Classic, I used to watch your photography channel and just happened to stumble across this review! I'm contemplating getting an Everest. A couple of questions. Why the titanium over the sport? Sunroof? And what size rims do you have on that? Cheers, for the review. Plans for any other mods?
@captain_midlife3 жыл бұрын
Hey man, yeah its awesome, the sport wasnt out when I bought this, but yeah sunroof, I think it has extra electrics like self parking and radar cruise, im not sure if the sport has that or not? There was some other options also I cant remember. I do really love the sunroof but other than that I would have probably just got the Sport
@stewraz1013 жыл бұрын
Thanks for this. I am actually tossing up between the Wildtrack and the Everest. Apart form the obvious shape differences, are you able to share your reasons for not sticking with the Ute?
@captain_midlife3 жыл бұрын
I just found it sometimes a little impractical, like as a photographer I didn’t really have anywhere to put all my expensive gear. I could have bought a drawer system or even built one but it would have had to be 100% water tight etc, so the tray was sometimes super handy but sometimes not, I find the wagon has much better storage for things like that, the Everest is also much quieter and smoother on the road with the coil springs. But honestly I did love the Ute as well. I think it just didn’t suit my needs, also there’s soooo many of them around haha the Everest is a little more unique
