2024 Ford Everest Wildtrak review (V6 4x4 - 4WD seven-seater off-road test)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- Ford has applied the Wildtrak treatment to the Ranger-based Everest SUV for the first time.
This V6-powered 4WD seven-seater has all the styling elements we have come to expect from the Ranger Wildtrak, and that means a revamped interior finish and new design for the outside of the car.
It gets the same top-spec 184kW/600Nm turbo diesel with 10-speed auto and 4x4, so I tested it on-road and off-road for this detailed review of the big 7 seater.
Is it better than an Isuzu MU-X? Should you buy it over one of the other Everest models? Or should you wait for the new Toyota Prado?
You'll find out by watching this review. Oh, and it's also called Endeavour in other markets.

I picked up my Everest Trend with touring pack, upgraded seats and all terrain tyres in April. So far it’s been 17 thousand trouble free kms. I did road test the v6 but decided the bi-turbo was enough for everything I will throw at the car…including towing a 2.5 tonne caravan. Biggest trip so far has been out to Orange, Oberon, Dubbo, Tamworth, Newcastle and home to the ACT. We also did the great Ocean road recently where it handled the twisty roads better than I expected. I’ve even done a a few days of 4 wheel driving in the Brindabella national park. No buyers remorse from me!
Good to hear!
hi mate, may I know which tyres to opt for ? Did you get 18 AT tyres or the standard 20 inch ones. Any disadvantage of taking 18 AT while driving in the city ?
Love ur detailed review, best part is when u give us options to consider. Keep up the good work
Thanks mate!
Another good review Matt. Truly appreciate the off road segment. Nice colour car, but who had to wash it after wards? 😀
Bought my Everst back in 2017. I know have over 150k on the OD. It's taken the family with a caravan in tow all over Australia. It just keeps on ticking. The only changes have been the wheels to 16in rims with nice big meaty KO2's. The only thing I'd replace this with would be the new Bronco when it arrives :)
hi mate, may I know which tyres did you opt for ? Did you get 18 AT tyres or the standard 20 inch ones. is there Any disadvantage of taking 18 AT while driving in the city ? I am confused which one to take ? 20 or 18 inch. Any advise is appreciated.
We got the V6 Sport done 5000kms with no problems and we luv it. The Wildtrak looks great.
Good one mate! Glad you're loving it.

@@manuoz3545 We went with the 18" ATs and they go good for normal road driving i think maybe a smoother ride as well.
@@robfowler3824 awesome mate, thanks for the update. I got a call from theh dealer that my requested 18" AT is not available, and someone has cancelled 20" Wildtrack edition - they are offering it to me. I am not sure to take it or wait for my model - the downside is - I am not sure if I will be allocated or not in future ? what do you reckon ? I am confused. I requested 18 and they said Ford has already built it, they cannot change.
@@coolmanu55 OMG if you can get a Wildtrak in the colour you want go for that i would for sure mate. you can always change the tyres at a later time. people are always selling the stock 18" tyres when they upgrade to hardcore 4wd tyres.
Finalmente un ritorno alla normalità nello stile, il classico vince sempre e dura per sempre, le mode sono sempre effimere e passeggere!
Nice review Matt, I have been on that same tack with my (former) Escape ST-Line which has AWD and 19" alloys with P235/45/ M+S tyres, yes it was a big rough but got to where you ended the review.
As for the Wildtrack Everest, nice, buy the Sport with the bi-turbo to save and then upgrade with the tyre package, that said I cant afford it :( Ford have nothing I need i their range right now.
Might take the X-Trail through that same track to test it out.
Thanks mate! Yep, just be aware the ruts are deeper and the puddles are full!
Thanks Matt.
Is the 10 speed auto transmission still a weak point in these Fords?
I’ve had no issues with the shifter when I had one for a loaner for a day.
So noooo idea what you’re on about 😂
did you do the 18 AT tyres for off-roading - but you were using 20 inch tyres on road right ? Did you get them changed ? Please advise mate.
Hey mate. I didn’t change them. 18s for the entire review.
@@therightcar cool thanks for the update. So its OK to use 18s in the city ? will there be any mileage impact - 18s vs 20s in the city ?
Ordered the sport but would have preferred wildtrack if it had been available.
Have the exact same vehicle, does all you said it does, thou the ride is a bit soft out on country roads. Gear shift you do get used to but a normal would be good
Thanks mate!

Went for 18inch, no real difference driving around town
would be great to see you review Peugeots too as new models are released
Wow that’s a bit off topic in a Ford Everest review. But rest assured I plan to review new-gen Peugeot products when they arrive. I’ve got a 308 review live and an e-2008 too, and plan to cover the 4008 when it arrives.
@@therightcar that sounds really good about the next gen Peugeot models. You're right, obviously, that my comment was off-topic but I'm not sure how otherwise to communicate comments/suggestions/feedback on a RUclips channel, and hopefully it helps the algorithm promote your stuff anyway, something along the lines of "all comments are good comments in the world of the algorithms"
@@antonroux6737 I love anything that helps me get more love from the algorithm gods
cool
👍
Why is it that the Everest gets more interior tech than the Ranger? The cooled seats with 3 memory buttons can't even be optioned in Wildtrak Ranger, and they'd make life a lot easier and more comfortable.
when will they do a Raptor? I will not buy a ute
The only thing that worries me about the Ranger / Everest V6 diesel is that is based on the old Ford Territory V6 2.7l diesel. And the Territory diesel was shared with a variety of Jags, Land Rovers, Range Rovers and Citroens 😱and the reliability of this engine was average at best. So yep not filling me with a lot of confidence. Anyway, time will tell how this engine fares over the long term. Can only hope Ford have learnt from the mistakes of the past and improved the reliability on the current 3L V6 diesel.
Yep, it’s an evolution of the ancient diesel that was in a number of the vehicles you mentioned. Let’s see how it holds up here!!
The engine has been re-engineered with many changes and updates, I did a lot of research into this and think it could be a very good engine, let’s see.
needs a wrap in another color
When you drive off road we would like to see where you are going and not the camera on yourself, otherwise good review.
I've had my Next Gen Sport for just over 12 months now... Not one issue and still loving every second of driving it.
Had a ripper day driving the Blue Rag Track in Vic... ruclips.net/video/gsy7RWXoDE4/видео.html
Show car only. Just like the Ranger. Genuine 4WD enthusiasts dare not taking a Ford off road.
Sadly, this review is almost pointless, considering that Ford only released enough of these vehicles for one per dealership in the entire country, and they were all pre-sold, so you can’t get your hands on a new one. You might be lucky if someone sells theirs as a secondhand one in a few years.
Unless Ford realise that it's really silly not to include it as a permanent member of the range when they see the engagement and interest in the reviews... :D
@@therightcar i m getting my wildtrack in April 24. booked last year June 23. white wildtrack. excited. ya huhhh
Hate premier announcements 😮 unsubscribed .....
That's a really mean reason to unsubscribe. I'm trying to grow the channel and Premiere helps me gain viewers and increase the channel's prominence. Hope you reconsider.
There's always one mate, I really enjoy your reviews and happy to support your Chanel! Excellent work 👍@@therightcar
Not a train station old mate. No need to announce your departure.watch that door doesn’t hit you on the way out.
Mate leave then no one likes the cry babies.
Please don't do anymore off road videos...
