Stuff you should know

The UA Ford Everest, manufactured from 2015 to 2022, stood out as a mid-size SUV celebrated for its rugged aesthetics, off-road prowess, and generous interior space.

Built on a robust ladder-frame chassis, the SUV’s design was tailored for off-road adventures, ensuring remarkable towing capabilities.

The UA Ford Everest offered two engine choices—a 3.2-litre 5-cylinder turbo-diesel and a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo-diesel—delivering substantial power and torque for versatile terrain navigation.

Drivetrain Options: With rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations, the SUV catered to diverse driving preferences and requirements.

Spacious Cabin: Accommodating up to seven occupants across three rows of seating, the UA Ford Everest prioritised comfort and practicality.

Premium Features: The interior incorporated premium materials, a well-designed layout, and advanced features like touchscreen infotainment systems, connectivity options, and driver-assistance technologies.

Comprehensive Safety Suite: The UA Ford Everest prioritised safety with multiple airbags, electronic stability control, anti-lock braking system, traction control, and an array of driver-assist systems.

UA and UA2 Updates: In 2018, the UA2 variant introduced a more powerful and efficient 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel 4-cylinder, complementing the existing 3.2-litre turbo diesel 5-cylinder.

Iterative Updates: Ford made significant tweaks in September 2016, April 2017, and December 2019, addressing tech, aesthetics, and driving calibrations.

Drivetrain Options: The majority featured all-wheel drive, including off-road hardware like ‘Torque on Demand’ all-wheel drive system, Terrain Management System, Low-range gearbox, Rear differential lock, and Hill Descent Control. Since 2016, rear-wheel drive variants have been available.

Pre-update, three variants were available, and post-update technically had four, with variations depending on the mechanical package.

The UA Ford Everest achieved sales success in Australia but faced reliability issues, with reports of failing engines, transmissions, and electrical systems.

Should you buy it?

If you’re considering purchasing a first-generation Ford Everest, finding the ideal one requires identifying what we refer to as the Goldilocks Everest. To uncover this elusive gem, consider the following criteria:

  • Lowest Mileage: Seek an example with the lowest mileage possible.
  • Minimal Ownership Changes: Opt for a vehicle with the least amount of owners.
  • Recent Model: Look for the most recent model available within your budget.
  • Comprehensive Service History: Ensure the vehicle comes with a complete and thorough service history.
  • Warranty Repairs: Confirm that common faults have been addressed and repaired under warranty.
  • Pre-Purchase Inspection: Prioritise a pre-purchase inspection to validate the vehicle’s condition.
  • Catch Can Fitted: Ideally, the Everest should have a catch can fitted to enhance performance.
  • Avoid Heavily Modified Examples: Steer clear of heavily modified units.
  • Limited Off-Road Use: Avoid vehicles that have been extensively used off-road.
  • Minimal Towing History: Stay away from models that have spent extensive time towing.

Should you find an Everest that meets all these criteria, it’s a solid buy. However, anticipate occasional interesting ownership experiences. While we hope such issues won’t arise, it’s prudent to be prepared for any potential challenges.

But if you’re going to spend your whole life in a suburban setting, you might be better off getting something like a Mazda CX-9 or even the slightly smaller Toyota Kluger.

But, if you absolutely need something go way off-road, we’d argue the Toyota LandCruiser

But, if you absolutely need something go way off-road, we’d argue the Toyota LandCruiser Prado is better off-road, more reliable, a bit cheaper, and even more bearable to drive around town.

That said, if you’re compelled to buy an Everest, and you find a perfect example with a faultless history, you’re still potentially buying a great SUV.

This is probably the best channel I have ever seen when reviewing vehicles. New or old. The honesty is so appreciated. I’ve been a mechanic for 20 years and I find it very informative when looking for a vehicle for my daughter. Keep up the awesome work.
