It may not be outstanding but in some models they are consistant/realiable/and surprisingly quality in certain aspects.
You all may be little the brand and I will agree it may not be as it once was 10yrs ago the fact remains its ahead despite of it - just check vfacts of last months sales.
I'd just be weary and not be too cocky in regards to Ranger sales etc, yep I'm rapt and I really love the look but I have recently just heard reports from people in my game who supply mines etc of their customers disappointment now with some k's under their belt.

Just had a look at a new Everest, very nice, not as big as i was expecting either!! bit bigger than a Terri but not Cruiser sized.

Funny enough the Terri has more interior space until you hit the 3rd row (terri has better leg room).

Territory ergonomics are very well thought out. I've never come across a car that just "works" inside as much as the Tez.

Thats why I wanna see the edge when it comes out. Slightly smaller but very similar.

I had a real good look at Everest, it would lend itself well to a very similar makeover as a SRT8 Jeep, it has a lot of potential is they want to do a high performance version.

TTV6 EcoBoost with 350kw and 650nm!

I'd prefer to see the TT 3.0 Lion V6 diesel in it

Or the 3.6 Lion V8 diesel :)

I wouldn’t, I’d rather see the consumer’s get a choice and have a preferred option to have petrol as a box to be able to tick, they already have the diesel well and truely covered, give us petrol owner’s a shot.
I’m with Norm a TT EcoBoost thanks very much.

Everest Tit vs Prado VX

Verdict

At first, we thought Ford’s claims of building a Prado competitor out of a commercial vehicle were a bit outlandish. A car company can’t just produce a capable off-road vehicle without throwing a heap of development money at the task.

Luckily for Ford, the Everest was designed and engineered in Australia. It was engineered with some of Australia’s harshest conditions at top of mind. It was engineered with some of Australia’s worst roads at top of mind as well.

While it doesn’t feel as cavernous as the Prado inside the cabin, nor does it feel as carefree off-road, it does conquer the on-road space and it is a brilliant SUV to drive all round.

We came into this test thinking that the Prado would quite simply reign supreme. But, it’s hard to ignore a tech-laden product that’s capable both on- and off-road.

The Ford Everest is the victor in this comparison and rightfully presents a modern and viable alternative to the Toyota Prado.

what a great verdict for Ford
I am a little surprised, not because I don't think the Everest is worthy, its just that I know how well thought of the Prado is in the motoring journalist world

Good job Ford
