Background music is very noisy.
it's as bad as that bogan Fenwick videos which are unwatchable.
there is simply no need for stupid background music in these review videos.
Thanks for the feedback, we will pass it on.
I think they were trying to hit a specific market, but it's honestly detracting from the review. Now I need to go to another channel...
You are only one who can hear it
Please drop the background music next time....feels like some Boomer editor got their fingers on this post shoot "needs more random rock and roll music guys"
Thanks, a thoroughly professional and well present review. Cheers
Some notable inclusions platinum has that sports does not; Sun roof, interior ambient lighting, bigger front dash 12.3inch screen, 360 camera for birds eye parking, electric control to lower 3rd row seats, more premium leather seats with leather steering wheel, matrix led lighting which means you can leave you hi-beams on without blinding traffic, better stereo system, wood grain on passenger dash, option for bigger 21inch wheels if you choose. People currently getting dealer quotes of 76-81k fir sports and 86-89k for platinum drive away.
21inch wheels in Platinum is standard, not an option
@@alanthai6561 yeah but you get the option between 21 or 18 at no cost.
I've seen them all and this is the best review yet! Great job 👏
Does the sport have ambient lighting?
Great review. Can't wait for my Platinum, pity its likely to arrive May next year ...
One question, why is it sometimes I see the left fog light come on, then other times its the right fog lamp...but not both together...... and why they are even coming on anyway....
The fog lights act as turning lights to light up the road when you’re turning left/right. So, when you turn the wheel to the right; the right fog lights turn on and same goes for when you turn the wheel to the left. I don’t think they’ve switched on the fog lights in this particular video. But what you were seeing were the turning spot lights.
Long range fuel tank? 2nd battery holder?
Comprehensive review. Thanks!
Happy you liked it!
needs to be a 2 row wagon raptor
Hi, Ford is declaring 3500kg towing but if you look at the GCM you not going be able to tow 3.5T is the something that I missing?
Thanks for the review..Did you get a chance to drive with the AT tyres on highway..how is the road noise...Intested with thr sport model performance
No, I'm afraid not. There was a Platinum with the 18-inch wheels and AT tyres, but I didn't manage to get behind the wheel of it this time. There is a chance that the ride quality might settle down a little, but I am not sure - Sam
@@Drivecomau thanks Sam for your response. If you get a chance to review again can you please cover this 😊
great review ...would be interesting to see it head to head with its rivals.
there'd be nothing interesting about that. lets be honest this thing would wipe the floor with the rest of them. also the only "fair" comparison would be the mux since that is technically a new gen too, everything else is still prev gen
Just ordered a sport. My issues in order of importance
1) back row of seats don't full go down
2) why is leather seats a "forced" option, a lot of people prefer cloth especially in hot climates
3) option for 5 seats at the highest levels should be there (mostly because of 1&4)
4) same complaint with every car in this class... More payload please
But I think it's the best in its class for sure. Why I ordered one.
Which one would be your pick New Everest or Fortuner
Are you doing a towing test with the Everest?
A good look in the boot would be nice
Got my Platinum on order. Can't wait!!
how much?
@@macruzoscar8633 $85k driveway in Meteor grey with darkest legal window tint too 😁
@@alanthai6561 Droolll.... Congrats and enjoy!
@@kahuna1247 thanks!
Oh you will trust me
Does anyone know if the second row seats tilt forward and backwards like the front row??
Yes, you can adjust the backrest angle on the second row of the Everest.
When you say "before on-road costs". What are the other costs that are typically added? What's a typical price range for that?
Not from Australia so I'm curious.
Add between 5% to 10% on top of the list price as a rule of thumb.
Is it reliable?
Gday mate just reviewing the sports model from a local dealers in Perth and they advertising 3100kg maximum braked towing capacity. Is this correct as you have stated 3500 kg. Thanks for any response.
Check that you are looking at the new 2023 model Everest, not the old model - Sam
@@Drivecomau 6250 gcm and 3150 gvm.......simple maths......like every 4wd marketed in Aus, 3500 kg only if the thing is empty.......but would you really want to.......
If you want to kill prado sales, a dual fuel tank with 150 litres is a must, otherwise this just another city slickers car, 18 inch wheels are silly for the bush
Why the 4x4 Titanium rims are different in Philippines si disappointed
So V6 Sport is the sweet spot?
I like Sport for V6, but Ambiente base model with the four-cylinder diesel is also quite nice. - Sam
This is Smart and Comfortable Car
Good review apart from the annoying background music hard to concentrate 💩🤬😎
I wish We(USA) got this as the Ford Explorer! I’ve always loved the look of the Ford Everest plus the Ford Ranger has always been a Truck Ford Explorer up until the early 2000’s..
yes not like the crossover soft roader explorer timberline 2.3 cy 4
and many of us here in Australia since the death of Ford Territory wish we could have the Ford Explorer as a true replacement for the Territory, instead we got the Endura (Edge) here as a turbo diesel peice of junk that sold innso poor numbers it laster here for less then 2 years.
FoMoCo has shafted Ford Australia and it's a real shame that is the case here.
@@351tgv check ford’s lineup in china…. They get everything…
USA gets the Bronco and the Expedition!
@@farzana6676 only china gets explorer + Everest , buying power buddy.
The answer is yes. RIP Toyota!
Just ordered a Sports today , 9 months wait
How’s your new car mate? I’m guessing you’ve taken delivery by now 👍
@@chrisz8532 it’s pretty good the ranger is better for towing though
Deserves to have a Ford Explorer; Ford will make Explorer an electric SUV exclusive for Europe though rejected for Australia despite imminently confirmed the Mustang Mach-E electric crossover SUV when Ford Broncos denied access to Australia unless bring US made Ford Explorer comes with RWD/4WD, 2.3 ecoboost/3.0 turbo hybrid and don't forget a V8.
america tomarrow plz we need a new bigger explorer
definitely
I swear you can take a donkey and strap a 12 inch display to it and these guys will talk it up like it's worth paying $70k for.
Haha, I've never ridden a donkey with navigation before - Sam
Even more than $70K.
Says some no one that drives a Hyundai Excel 😂
Say no more 😂😂😂
You’re right it’s all bullshit . Hyundai and Kia are coming.
I love how the verdict has many “we don’t know”s
Sport model has 20' wheels not 18s
You can get 18” wheels with all terrain tyres as a no cost option on the sport and platinum, he probably just got confused with those
Hello please send launch date in India ❤
There 20 inch wheels on the sport.
🇦🇺🏁🇦🇺🏁
Can u define a second class citizen please? Thanks
Your people
Worth $45K.
Couldn’t sit through the music
Enjoy your videos but that music is so distracting.
Thanks, we'll keep it in mind - Sam
Test drove a wildtrak ranger, which is very similar to the Everest. The steering is rubbish, like playing a video game, no feel at all. Too much electronic crap to go wrong. Who needs a electronic moveable gear lever? It's a complicated solution to a problem that never existed. No one turns their automatic car off and leaves it in drive or reverse. The electronic park brake is unnecessary too but it has it but it doesn't even release automatically. The electronic dash is terrible to look at too with no option for normal looking guages. The tachometer is a bar line going vertical. I won't be purchasing one for these reasons plus the v6 has been proven unreliable in the US F150 and Ford Australia believes honouring warranty is optional.
Engine is a VW/Amerok
@@ronlorettaburrrows8651 no it’s not vw engine
must work for toyota!
@@markl642 anyone who calls them self a farmer is usually so far up Toyotas ass that they shit failed DPFs.
Hi mate. That is the question I have been asking on most new ranger reviews. Did they sort out the crankshaft issue? I don’t want to have a premature crankshaft failure while towing a 2.5 ton caravan in the remote. I know F150 dumped the TDV6 after only 3 years, which is exactly the same engine, which they call powerstroke in US. I haven’t see complaints from US drivers about crankshaft issue, but also even the US reviewers admitted it’s a new engine and not sure the long term reliability.
I come to the review hoping to catch a glimpse of the car and the whole time the camera is focussed on the reviewers face with the car out of focus. I am not interested in the reviewer. I want to see the car.
Is this a review or an advertisement?
Advertisement.
I don't like the big c shaped drl and large display like tesla..and the ford engine reliability makes me think of toyota
Yes coz garbage toyotas are any better lol
Yes Manu the v6 engine has been used in the f150 for a while but has been discontinued. They have been unreliable and the exactly same engine is in these Australian fords.
@@davidgollop1718 your joking, surely. I didn't imply why they were discontinued, and I am not a lier. Your getting very aggressive, your game when behind a keyboard. You work for ford or sell fords? I urge everyone to do five minutes of research about the v6 diesel in the US and there are loads of people talking about the issues that are still occurring that were there when the original engine was used in the LR products. Owners not paid media. They are a bad engine. They were meant to be upgraded for the f150 to fix all the problems but they are still occurring. Why would they need to do that if it was a good motor? Do you work for Ford? Only the foolish make assumptions about others. I bet I have driven more miles in a ford car than you have. I do my research and so should everyone else. It looks like you have a vested interest in Ford. I have only ever owned one Toyota but currently have two fords and owned 4 more before that.
A bit worry about the DPF issue, other brands are slowly dumping diesel engines
God why are we getting TV screens in cars? Give me buttons please.
At least offer a leather wrap (I am not he rubbish Pleather crap I'm talking about REAL F ING Leather" steering wheel as an option FORD, SMH that that the Ambiente again does not have it as an option.
Couple of years down the track and we'll see how good it is ...
Doesn’t need ten speed, doesn’t need electric park brake, don’t need seven seats, don’t need sunroofs, don’t need dumb iPad dash and I don’t need crankshaft issues from a company with poor after sales.
There’s lots to like but there’s lots that seem like it’s papering over the cracks.
Я даже не знаю как на них заработать
Seriously these reviews are so BS and bias, wake up Australia its a ranger in a wagon format. All these manufacturers are conning the country, for example the 300 series toyota landcruiser wagon, is the wagon version of the Toyota Tundra pickup. Meanwhile Australia has hilux jammed down its throat, when the tundra /wagon 300 series is the better option.
"Prado killer".? I don't think so. Cool car though.
Theres is no way any 2.0ltr 4cyl engine is more economical than a 3.0ltr v6 having to haul all that weight around and especially when the car is full. The 2.0 will struggle whereas the a 3.0 will do it with ease and take a load of strain of the engine
The 8" digital display is garbage. A real fail by ford on this. Every model in the range, or at the very least, Wildtrack, Sport (everst and Ranger) and Platinum should all get the 12.5" dash..
Most new model vehicles across the board are running full digital with plenty of display options, many even going as far as integrating the GPS in the display so its easy to view. Ford came so close, but cheaped out on this part of the next-gen range. its disappointing
Ford Explorer would be much better....
If only it had a 6 speed manual...Same with the Raptor.
After seeing one I wasn’t impressed. The rear cargo area is still small thanks to the way it slopes in at the top. And those stupid Tesla style ipad things!!!! 🤢🤢🤢🤢 My money has gone elsewhere.
What did u end up getting. I rekon the pajero sports is better than this.
Yeah you will buy some Chinese Junk 👍🤣
It would be far less distracting, if you stopped waving your hands about when you're talking, please!?...
Yes stop flailing your arms around. Deaf people get no value out of this. It is just a stupid thing presenters in Australia do now.
The fking music
suv mustant 4×4
Can we please BEGGING please get the Everest as a 2.3L turbo petrol with POWERBOOST ... not everyone wants crap diesel engines, I would seriously consider Everest but can't as Ford have locked in diesel as the only choice and that is just so stupid to do.
This will be available in other markets, but quite unlikely for Australia. Closest I could say would be the platform-sharing Amarok ute might come with the 2.3 Ecoboost. - Sam
yes Sam I know and that is just brutal from Ford Asutralia, it stinks that Ford Australia are not listening to customers who have been asking now since 2016 for the turbo petrol powered Everest as not eveyone wants turbo diesel for these type of vehicles.
on the VW side, I know the 2.3L is going to be sold here in Australia however one can only wonder what trim and price levels and will POWERBOOST or what ever it will be called in VW speak, I really would prefer for Ford to offer it.
in my mind Ford Motor Company seem to be punishing Ford Australia and it's customers for reason only known to FoMoCo.
I was really hoping Aus could get a 2.3 ecoboost version of Ranger/Everest.
But no. That stupid 2L diesel is the only no V6 option of course.
Right there with $1000 injectors, DPFs, EGRs, $2.10 per Litre and 1 small issue away from a 15k engine replacement.
castimar nows thats
Who on earth would buy this time bomb over a Prado
Because they aint rich or want more than 150kw 4 cyl.
They want more than 150kw held at a tiny part of the rev range if buying an overweight wagon, Everest is still slightly lighter. Plus the prado isn’t that reliable, the current 2.8 has known dpf and injector issues that Toyota continue to ignore
People that have intelligence, and that aren’t aligned with the Prado Scam ?
Why the hell would you buy this vehicle if you don’t go off road, what’s wrong with people, they buy it then just drive around metropolitan roads, dummies.
To tow 3.5 and have 4wd?
What other options are there that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?
@@perpelle ok do it off road.
F'it. Because I can!
@@JohnJohn-zn8ib no options that can tow 3.5 tones and have a spare tire, the best option was the 3.0 Audi Q7 but the new gen has a repair kit, not good enough
@@SkiRacingOz sure for towing no problems.
LOL no. No it is not
Forget ford many issues even before reaching 100,000 km
FOR THE PRICE OF THIS FORD I WILL BETTER GET THE TOYOTA PRADO THEY TRIED & TESTED
WORK HORSE SUV WORLD WIDE, BY BUYING A YOYOTA CARS OR A JAPANESE CARS SPECIALLY THE SUV’s AND PICK UP TRUCK YOU WILL BE DRIVING AN IMMORTAL CAR OR SUV. AND YOUR RESALE VALUE IS ALWAYS HIGH COMPARED TO THIS AMERICAN CARS OR ANY EUROPEAN SUV’s.
It's not the reliability, it is the customer service. My 2019 prado blown engine at 70000 and Toyota changed it for free. Then blown again at 1580000 and they replaced it with out hesitation. All others will be a pain to deal with.
I stopped reading your rubbish after the first spelling mistake, are you a bot ? 😂
thi is fur weel car
this is car not suv directly 4×4 suv car mustent fur weel they r difrant using between suv car and 4×4 don't Maxine cars
Blah, blah, blah. Ford promotion. What about a critical test?
We're going to review and compare this new Everest more in the coming weeks, but this first taste is admittedly very impressive. - Sam
Ford Explorer would be much better....
