Firstly, the reason it is called a Bi Turbo is that the two turbos a not Twins, they are not identical. One is bigger than the other. Secondly, l cannot agree that the Bi Turbo 10 speed combo is not as good at towing. It pulls my 24 ft caravan easily and the benefit is that when l’m not towing, which is 95% of the time, it has excellent fuel economy.
In India we get only 2.0 Single Turbo with 168HP & 400NM with 10Speed Gearbox to keep the price in check with the competitor Toyota Fortuner. 3.2L Engine is discontinued over here!
I disagree with the towing of 3.2 liter vs 2.0 liter. Twin turbo. I traded my 3.2 Liter 5 cylinder to this 2.0 liter Twin turbo Everest. The refinement, extra grunt and less worked engine of this 2.0 is more reassuring than the 3.2 in all department. Sure having 5 cylinder and 3200 cc displacement is a more appealing to hear but after trying the 2.0 I just traded it. 1.) Fuel economy 2.) refinement 3.) extra power and grunt the engine is less “worked out” 4.) newer technology means improved in all department. 5.) No problem with hard core towing and off roading.
Good review, picked one up as a rental going from Dunedin to Queenstown. Not a bad drive. My last big vehicle was the explorer, one missed driving these monsters.
My dream car. Bring that here and let me test drive that awesome Everest Sport we will go to the Pineapple Plantation and other beautiful spot in our Country. New subscriber from Philippines
You've got to be incorrect in asserting via a comment while driving that the Ford Ranger does not have low range! I think you meant to say that the Ranger differs from the Everest on test in that it only has part-time 4wd instead of the Everests full-time 4wd, which can be used on bitumen. Of course the Ranger has 4wd with low range but it's use is limited to lower traction surfaces.
@@ktesta1924 ha! That old cop out ay. Power curve on the 2.0 is much better. I had a 3.2L as a loan car when my 2.0 was being serviced, I couldn’t wait to hand the 3.2 back….terrible power delivery.
@@l-shizzle8678 ha! drove both of them and the 2.0l has shit all torque until the turbos decide to spoil. that motor was made for emissions and because they used the same engine for 15 years
Thanks, I bought a new one (SPORT) last month, just wanted to know what are those thin YELLOW cable seen inside the wheel's rim near the front wheel coil springs? is that ABS? Won't that get damaged by water? Thankx
Great review, BTW do you notice any complaint from the Australia side about the oil leaking issue on the engine (particularly at the front part of it), the issue with the gear of the transmission fluid pump and the weak welding on the torque converter bolt? I have seen customers in Thailand complained about those issues with pictures shown.
@@espkh1549 I'm looking for a towing vehicle to tow a van and i have a Q5 and CLA250, looking for a long time and my mind keeps going to the Q7. There is nothing on the market, boring Toyota, Nissan, yawn.
@@FirstLast-nm2pu No Toyota that’s for sure. I still remember the day they invaded Darwin. We get ranger and Everest when china gets Ford raptor and explorer.
The Everest is much cheaper than the Prado and much more off road capable than most people who will plonk themselves behind the steering wheel. Its one of the very few in this class (eg Prado Ugly, Fortuneteller) that doesn't turn the traction control off when you lock the rear diff (when you are most likely to need it?). But also it will not dust your engine or have endless probs with the DPF which Toyota took years to own up to and still don't fix properly. The Everest is way more comfortable and better handling on road.
I had a Territory and it was massively good, lots of power and guts and always great price compared to its competitors. I was very disappointed when Australia stopped them.
I still own a Diesel Territory. 11 years and pushing 200,000 km City running, country trips snd caravan towing. Seriously considering one of these as an upgrade. Good or bad choice?
So where is you tow comparison test or are you just repeating other unproven claims? there is a test done showing the difference in towing which refutes your claims.
We can, because we are - we don’t accept any money from car manufacturers, for advertising, sponsored content, leads and links... that’s what it means to be independent of the carmakers
Why do so many subscribers struggle wherever they dont see Tom? That is just weird and a bit creepy really. When their local newsreader has a day off they must lose their tiny minds.
Maybe they are good reviewers stuck with back cars so they look average for that. Then again, I am guessing we will never really know as I am sure Tom Bakerrrrrrr.... will make a bag car look good.
This is over priced although it is capable. Long term reliability is also questionable given Ford’s track record. My view is if Isuzu keep pricing on the new MUX reasonable Ford are going to hurt.
It’s a new car ? All new cars have reliability issue questions about them until they have been around for 5 years. The Isuzu make great cars but there ugly as shit and Toyota reliability is a myth. You buy what suits you at the time and look after it and hope it holds together. The only thing you can go off in my view is after sale customer service until the vehicle has put the miles on the clock
@@Dotconvict12 You make some good points, however, not all new cars are created equal when it comes to reliability and longevity. My personal experience is that my Toyota’s trounced VW, Ford and Holden for ownership... based on my own experience.
So many? There's the same as the amount of fingers you have on one hand 🤣. TV shows with more than one character must really freak you out.... "The guy with glasses" Hahahaha you mean Ed Sheeran?
Whenever these other guys than Tom Baker do the reviews I am always left feeling like reviewing the reviewers themselves. So, I am a little unsure as to whether it's the cars that they are given to review or it's just the reviewers who are just not Tom Baker. Somehow I suspect both. Ok, enough about the reviewer, let's talk about the car. Well and truly over priced, boring to look at and nothing much going on interiorly. I am sure it performs well though but I cannot be conviced to buy it for its outward look/design or its interior. Why does it have to reseble a Ranger? The reviewr seemed to emphasise as if it's a great seeling point. A ranger is a ute and I ain't got no time for ute. Please Ford let's pimp this baby up a little and make it a bit more attractive. Please make it easier for guys who are not Tom Baker to do the reviews coz they really struggle to sell boring cars. Be kind to them.
"Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones" or "Judge not, that ye be not judged". If you are going to be critical and review the reviewer then at the very least use spell check. 🧐

Brilliant review Ponch
I love this car and the brand but I'm having second thoughts...how was the transmission issue and recall?
Just purchased one second hand. The only thing I have found I don't like is not being able to permanently turn of the auto stop/start.
Succinct but very informative review. Thanks
Awesome video with great energy~!
Great review, had a good chuckle at a few gags.
You should be presenting or reviewing more on this channel.
Liked the review and the small details observed
Don’t forget the 5 top tether points so you can fit 5 child car seats in there that don’t have to be a lap belt booster #safetyfirst
I wonder if the injectors and transmission issues have been sorted in the 2.0 ?
Hey Nathan... I remember when you used to edit a VW magazine back in the late 1990s
Wish we had these in the US. Would be perfect for me.
I really like this guy, a real genuine aussie
Sees Nathan is doing a review.... clicks immediately...

Hey I’m getting a shell for my 4 door ranger, leer 100XL so it’s like the Everest by looks
Um fact check: the 2.0 BI-TURBO officially has more power and torque than the 3.2L
Fact check: He never said it didn't you numpty

Great review, wonder are the front grill can be change to big Ford sign like ranger? Not a big fan of the traditional logo
Maybe it's accessories
Heard about engine failures in everest which pulled me back!
Also, there is no high speed collision avoidance.... Which is a life saving thing..
It’s time for Ford to make an Everest RAPTOR
It's time for Ford to make an Everest for the US, they can even call it the Ford Explorer if they want to I don't even care anymore
Good comments w.r.t. the competition....whooop!
Great video, is this the Meteor Grey colour??

What’s the color of this car?
Still underpowered. Get a good 6 cyl diesel in it with some good power around the 180kw mark
Designed by Australian and made In Thailand.... what a third world country crappy car

Man, this review makes me miss the Territory.
True
I had a Territory and it was massively good, lots of power and guts and always great price compared to its competitors. I was very disappointed when Australia stopped them.
I still own a Diesel Territory.
11 years and pushing 200,000 km
City running, country trips snd caravan towing.

Nothing comes close to the Territory.
So where is you tow comparison test or are you just repeating other unproven claims? there is a test done showing the difference in towing which refutes your claims.
Gotta sneak a dad joke in 😆
The sport does not have 10 speakers with sub!
The titanium gets that!
Why is this guy talking about Falcons and Territory's for? Has he been frozen for the last 5 years?
in India, this car is named as
Ford Endeavour
"They're all crap tp drive" Really? When did Ranger lose it's transfer case?
He meant to say centre diff.
@@craigice9635 still has it, the running gear is all the same
why don't they put a bigger capacity engine in it? You have a puny 2.0 with turbo's, disaster waiting to happen
Twin turbo = 2 turbos synchronised, working at the same time.
Bi turbo = 2 turbos working at different points in the rev range. Not synchronised.
Tried to restrain myself so glad someone else pointed it out.
lol you're an idiot. They mean the same thing and are interchangeable. What you're talking about is parallel vs sequential turbos.
i do like your channel but you can't really label yourselves as Australia's most independent reviews when you are now owned by a big corp...
We can, because we are - we don’t accept any money from car manufacturers, for advertising, sponsored content, leads and links... that’s what it means to be independent of the carmakers
12 gears? Wft
Why you are calling it as a wagon ........it is a proper suv .......there is a difference between wagon and suv
Ford provides a better version of everest in India under the name of endeavour. With panaromic sunroof and many more features
Everest, great name 😂🤣
I wish there was mid size 5 seat SUV with similar off-road ability. And no thank you to Land Rover and Jeep.
Touareg on air and all terrains would get the job done. But it’s not midsize.
@@chasingcars Doesn't the Touareg have a space saver spare? Can you tow with a space saver fitted?
Prado. Isuzu.

@@mr.forster2939 Sorry to say we also have you. You like that? Bet you dont. Better have thick skin if you're going to be critical of others mate.
Fortuner & Everest are equally bad due to their Ute style designs.
Someone had to draw the short straw for this review, I'm sure Tom would never put his face near a Ford. Overpriced rubbish
Hmm. I really quite like Ranger. Everest is a big price jump over rivals, though... -Tom
Yes and that's the disappointed part..
The ranger has low range hence a transfer case. Chinsy chrome vs cheap black plastic. Second rate review.
