Ford Everest/Endeavour review: The big Ranger-based SUV gets a tough look for 2020! 

is it just me watching new car reviews without any money to buy lol

It’s a good looking vehicle. Decent room for the third row passengers, and still a bit of boot room, when the third row seats r in use. No wonder this is a popular vehicle. Great vehicle for the price.

Have had the Biturbo Everest Sport for just over 6 months. Finding it much more driver friendly than the 3.2 Everest Trend previously owned. Big improvement in the Sync3 system, better ride and better economy also. The Sport picked up all the shortfalls in the previous Everest being keyless entry and ignition, leather seats and lights that actually show where your going. Looks great, handles well, loving it so far!

we have this under the name of Endeavour in India & it does come with the panoramic sunroof. And it does have all the roof mounted ac vents!

came here again just to see how soft soft touch materials are🤣🤣🤣

Love my Everest! I recently drove my 2L 20.75 Trend from Brisbane to Canberra and back towing a 2.4 ton Coromal van, wife, 2 teens, 1 dog, 1 cat and luggage and the Everest towed it with ease in Sport mode, there was never a problem with this car. Fuel economy was averaging 13-14 litres/100km, I couldn't fault it. I used to drive a 3.2L Ranger which I thought was powerful, but this package is very impressive.

In 2019 I was about to buy a Pajero Sport but got talked into an Everest. I loved the Everest, but thought they were too expensive at the time, but the dealer gave me a price that was essentially only $5k over the Pajero Sport, so I went for it. Now, in March 2022, I have had two Everests. Both Trends; 2-litre Bi-Turbos. The first being a 19.75 replaced by Ford by the second one, a 20.75. The first one blew an engine at 26000km due to a failed oil pump and had the famous rust-in-doors, bonnet and tail gate problem. The car that replaced it had problems with the transfer case. A friend of ours had a 19.25 Trend with the rust problem and eventually Ford replaced it. The replacement car, a 2021.25 also ended up with rust within 3 months of getting it and then the complete AdBlu system failed. They sold it and got a new MUX. A business colleague of mine has an Everest Sport that Ford gave him after the transmission failed in his first. Now, his new one is starting to have transfer case issues. They are a great, good-looking package, with lots of tech for the price (although Ford removed a lot of features in the latest 2021 model, for some reason) and the 2 litre goes like a scalded cat. They are just unreliable and the leather seats, I found in both cars, are shite...horribly flat and unsupportive without much bolstering giving you sore hips after a long trip. Unlike others with similar problems, I cannot fault Ford's service. They supported me very well all the way through the repair and replacement process, so credit where credit is due. Just hoping the new Everest won't have the same unreliability that the current one has. The outcome of the story? I have sold my second Everest (which I absolutely loved) and have found that is actually difficult to find something with similar features for the price to replace it. The new MUX looks the goods but you can't use the 4WD drive system as an AWD in the wet on sealed roads (like the Everest) and feels cheap and nasty inside and is expensive for what you get (an archaic 4WD system and not many features). The Pajero Sport appears to me to be the only worthy replacement at the moment, but it is smaller inside and won't have the same "go" as the Everest had. But I won't be buying another Ford. Unless time shows the new Everest is much more reliable than the current one.

After getting my bi turbo Everest Sport in August i finally got to give her a decent run, Melb - Yarrawonga (approx 3 hours) return this week, loaded up with the family and half the house. The thing ate up the road. I’ve never had a more cruiser, comfortable and easier long distance drive. It stuck to the road at a constant high speed and overtakes were incredibly easy. Extremely punchy when required at highway speeds. Now to clean 1000+ bugs splattered on the nice looking front end…

I couldn’t click fast enough, I love the Everest so much I wish they offered it in the states

The Australian accent is so friendly that you'll have a hard time guessing if your arguing or talking casually

So this is whats keeping us from getting the Bronco..

"This SUV is a King in my country in Asia" 😍👍

Paul was the reason I used to watch the channel he was working on, and I just wached his videos, no the other's. Once he left, I stopped watching that channel. I discovered some time ago that he has this channel, and now I'm back watching again. Great channel Paul. I know it's gonna be a big hit. Greetings from South America.

I agree with you. It indeed is a very good all-rounder. I really like the styling and the fuel economy is pretty impressive too. You did a nice review on this car.

Went out to James Price Point today, out from Broome WA in our 2019 Everest. It is a weapon on rough roads, love it.

Fun Fact: the front fog lamp of an Everest is identical to that found in Territory. kinda like part of the locally made OZ vehicle is still alive in it.

Me liking this car then realized I live in America

We have the 3.2 model. It’s working like a treat ❤️ Wouldn’t trade it in for anything else. Love your reviews, as always, Paul! From the PH 🇵🇭

My wife and I looked at the Everest, Isuzu MU-X, Prado, Trailblazer and Fortuna. We ended up buying an Everest Sport in the 3.2L engine type (Aluminium colour is the best). It was the standout over all of these other models. We have owned it for around 6 months now and I can't fault it. The biggest issue for us was we were going to buy the "hero" colour in Deep Crystal Blue. It looks awesome in the marketing. When we saw it in real life it was really dark purple colour, almost black. The dealership tried to make it out that it was a "really nice colour". It was so far from the brochures and online marketing it was laughable. I can only imagine how many complaints they got. We changed dealer and went for the Aluminium and happy days for us. Great car.

It's an interesting point when you mention where this car is made... Can you going forward add this to all cars ? where each car is made ?

If they sold this in Canada and the United States, they'd sell like crazy as it's truck based and diesel powered. Don't know why Ford doesn't sell them here.

In india, we get panoramic sunroof in Ford Endeavour (Everest), despite having AC vents in the same place... HAHA

4:13 you absolute legend. have not ever laughed that hard in a car review. for the lulz hahahahha

The point of having the boot door not go as high when it’s done lifting up is because you loose space when using it for camping for example - cooking food under it when it’s raining

Great, honest review Paul. Thanks for posting and good to see I've found you again! Take away the 2020 tech of the Everest, how would you compare its driveability compared to the last series Territory (which I still love).

We (India) used to get 2.2ltrs 4 cylinders 6speed auto/manual options. RWD & 3.2 ltrs 5 cylinders diesel engine with 6 speed auto only which gives 197bhp, AWD (we owned 1). After new homologation (end 2019), BS6 variant got us 2ltrs 'Eco blue' with 10speed auto delivering just 162bhp AWD ☹️ We didn't got this 'bi-turbo' Engine !! And yes !! we get panaromic roof too ! With dual tone interior

In the market for one at the moment, glad I came across this review. It hasn’t t changed my mind, but I at least know what to expect beforehand.

Hi Paul, Love your reviews. It would be nice if you can demonstrate some additional details in your reviews such as the radar cruise, auto-hold feature etc. What I've found is although some cars have radar cruise, it does not come with a Stop/Start system which is really useful in Traffic. Also, with some cars, the Auto-hold function is turned off every time you switch off the engine and needs to be turned on every time you start the car. The German cars have the ability to remember your previous settings and retain them every time you switch off the engine. These are fairly small things but from experience, they do add a lot of value in day to day driving.

Your reviewing style is awesome bro

When are manufacturers going to realise that boxy shaped, utilitarian 4x4s are the ones that are going to sell!

It would be nice if they made an Everest Raptor.

I have the 2.0L.twin turbo and LOVE it. Fantastic vehicle. So glad I didn't buy the Prado.

I drive a 2020 ford everest titanium 4x2 and it is very capable on anything.

Thanks for the review mate!

Paul is so chill! " This is for the lols" haha

This is similar in concept to the first Ford Explorers in the US, which were also heavily based on the Ranger. I kinda wish they still made them like this instead of the car-based approach they use now.

Bought mine two days ago. Can't wait.

Hi Paul ... love all your reviews. like your pinpointing of the traction of the vehicles. Can you please do a review of the 2020 Ford Everest LTD (Titanium} 4X4. Not the latest one. I saw the sport one, but will love to see him in action.🤣🤣

Hey Paul. Congratulations on starting youtube channel on your own. Well done. A few things I have been noticing in your reviews which are worth highlighting and it is becoming very apparent with recent reviews. Just finished watching Ford Everest posted recently. Firstly about design and outer profile. Noticed that most channels only focus on the bottom half of the car describing the design and profile. Often upper half explanation takes back seat and miss on explaining pillar A, B and C. Also miss out on explaining complete design profile and aerodynamics. Other point specially about Ford Everest review- Is it 2 Ltr Turbo diesel or Bi turbo. Seems like it was explained as Turbo diesel in the video. Hope you find my comments valuable. Thanks

Ive never thought Ford would build a very economical, decent price, very excellent reliable car like Ford endeavor or Ford everest in east asia. I would choose this car over Ford explorer or expedition more expensive this is the real Build for tough.

Dash Cam usb is great! However, why haven't manufactures just included a built in dash cam in the already huge forward collision detection camera cluster? Tesla have done it, so I don't know why it's not a standard safety/security feature? Have a SD card slot in the glove box where the camera records to and its as simple as that?

500nm in this class is pretty much a beast isn't it?

car looks amazing daaaamn future car

If Mat Watson and Ricky Gervais had a baby in their honeymoon in Australia, and they decide to leave him to not be disturbed, this is who the guy would turn out to be.

I’ve been waiting for this review. Thanks mate!

Just got this best brand new, and we're loving it. I've got the XLT Sport one and petty both WebCam USB port and the automated boot door are not available (only in the top-range Sport). Overall it is a beast.

I have a 3.2 Titanium plus, very rugged and reliable, spares are cheap and durable, its a keeper.

It always shocks me to see "big ranger" since it's literally the smallest truck in Ford's lineup in the states. I do like this vehicle. I wish we got it instead of the egg-shaped Edge. That being said, it needs to be a 5-seater, and it's needs the 3.5 ecoboost with about 350hp. Good review, Paul!

its funny where the Everest bettered in space over the Territory but how the Territory still did things better, both Australian designed and engineered it would of been awesome had they managed to perfectly mix the two Territory had more 3rd row leg room and shoulder room but suffered without the split folding third row and boot space with the third row up, Everest suffers on leg room and shoulder room, however gains split folding and has more rear space with the third row up,

Always loved the Everest, and great review as usual!

It looks super nice

Ur reviews are awesome sir, I'm becoming a fan.

I"m driving an acrylic white Everest sport, had it for just a little over a month, I'm loving it. I'm still in the process of modifying it as you've mentioned in the video it only has 157kW horsepower, I'm changing the exhaust and then I'm going to get it tuned which should see the horsepower increase by around 25-30% to 200kW.

Nice video Paul. I love the styling of the Sport model!

I love my Everest planning to upgrade soon

I really like this review lol, great job guys, keep up the great work!!

Would like to see an Everest with the wheel base of a Ranger

Really like your reviews, keep it up! My only small criticism would be the amount of times we cut to something close up your talking about just to see your hand caress, point or stroke it.. its seems a bit old-school instructional vid! Otherwise, really enjoying the reviews.

Mmmm. Choice of colors available! How about any color you like as long as it's black !?

Delivery for my new RWD 2.0 Trend is scheduled December 3... Looking forward to a little softer ride after 3 years in a WildTrak. Fit, finish & feature is excellent, though my missus will miss heated seats. I was fortunate to get one of the last MY2020.75 builds before Ford pulled a bunch of stuff out... I'll still have full sized alloy spare, active noise cancelling, rear seat AC controls (not just fan speed), 8-way electric driver's seat, not 6... Apparently they needed to hit a price point and though it was easier to "trim" features :o(

I really like your reviews very helpful thanks 😊👏👏👏🙋‍♀️

I watch one of your videos and slept and guess what I was driving it in my dream

You can actually get a Panoramic Sunroof in the Everest Titanium! The vents are still roof mounted too.

Paul I would rather watch your car reviews than Netflix!

This is actually my dream car. Badly want it!!!!!

This car would work well in America for rural areas. It’s an suv with the ride height of a truck and the same off-road features! And there could be possible room for an ST or Raptor model!

8:30 ford endevour in india has panoramic sun roof with ac vents on top so you are definitely wrong

Purchased the 3.2 Sport last month. Brilliant package and love the styling. Test drove the 2 litre, ok but bit busy. Comfortable and Capable 👍🏽 Only improvement would be 7 speed box.

Love my Everest 👍😎👍

If Ford brought this to America it would go head-to-head with the 4runner and the price would make it appealing. 4runners are crazy expensive.

In India we get a panaromic roof with same Engine. Paul 😃

Ford Everest Sport is just dope. 🔥🔥🔥

The Ford Everest is from the exact same company that launched and produced the Ford FG Falcon.

I test drove the V6 yesterday. However for me, it isn’t enough of a game-changer to make me want to buy one. The engine is smooth and quiet, and the 10-speed transmission performs well. The ability to switch between full-time 4WD and 2WD on the fly is also cool. But drive-wise, the overall feel is very similar to my current 20.75 Ranger. There are things that I don’t like as well. There is a lot going on in the instrument panel and I found it difficult to know where to look. There is also no ergonomic angle on the 10 inch centre screen so it is flush flat with rest of the dash making it difficult to use while you’re driving. Disappointingly as well, at around $75k for the Sport trim, there is no heating options for the leather seats. Overall, it looks awesome on the outside but the cabin is lacking in my opinion.

Great review, hoping we can see a raptor review. Your reviews are great and cover the car entirely. Keep up the great work.

One of the best review video

Hi Paul, this is Mohsin, always been a fan of your reviews the way u detail out everything, mate just wanted you to do a comparison review of Ford Everest and Mitsubishi Pajero Sports as I kinda confuse of which one to buy for, That would be very much appreciated, Thanks

Great review, Paul! The Endeavour Titanium we get in India does get the panoramic sunroof. Surprised it's not available down under. We do lose out on that twin turbo diesel though.

Great cruise control.. it drives to the set speed and follows at a safe distance behind slower cars unless you take control.

The way he explained everything was ✌️ Subscribed 🙂

I still have ford everest trend 2019 model its really good.

Been waiting for this review, i couldn't wait!!

I'm driving this in my dreams 😭😭😭

Hope Australian Engineer will redesign Ford Everest 2022 spare tire location will be inside the 3rd row. Just like in Ford Explorer beneath the 3rd row seats

Great review bud, thanks.. Mines arriving end of August. I'm putting 2 inch lift, bigger wheels and wider guards oh and front anchor points. We live staying on the islands in SEQ etc.

I have a 2020 ranger here in the US. I love the 2.3 they put in these. Mine is tuned so it is quite brisk. This SuV would do well with the 2.3 or a 2.7 ecoboost....and of course a v8 but..yeah....

this is way better than the escape that we get.

You got me at Get away from the wife ,hope it has some real long range tanks

Thank you for your review about this SUV. I wonder whether in the future can also review the update Ssangyong Rexton And Korando as well.

The one thing I am really jealous of compared to my ford endeavour sport in india is this has full black interior

Nice styling.The ride height is appealing.

What a great video and Presenter! I throughly enjoyed the video and got a lot out of it. My Question. I purchased a 2019 Everest in November of 2018. My car is due for upgrade in November of this year and I wonder if you thought that the vehicle described in this video, (I know its not for sure) being described at the 2022 model, would be available at the end of 2021 or the end of 2022? Thanks again for a great video, I always enjoy watching a video rather than reading an article :) Regards Andrew

Hi Paul. You mentioned "it has Bi-led headlamps, LED for the low beam and led for the high beam" Question: is that what 'bi-led' means? I always thought bi-led means both low and high beam in one light/bulb housing. Please explain. Thanks.

This is nice. Too bad they don’t sell it here in the US. I don’t like the look if the smaller SUVs here and the big ones are too expensive. What I’d really like though, is a Ranger with the front end of a Bronco.

I wish we got this in the US...

The china models can come with a panoramic roof along with nicer soft touch door trims

Best car review mate. Too deadly.

Frankenstein was actually the doctors name and his creation is referred to as Frankenstein's monster

Why Seth MacFarlane talking with an Australian accent? Is dis the making of Stewie's evil twin?

We need this in the states! I think we might see it soon with rumors of a big redesign soon. In addition, the ford edge (kinda the US equivalent) has been doing terribly, so they might want to synchronize their lineups. Fingers crossed!!!
