Length: 4,914 mm
At nearly 5 meters long, the Everest is a large SUV that provides a substantial "road presence." Its length is primarily dedicated to providing three rows of seating and a usable boot. Despite its size, the short front and rear overhangs allow for an impressive approach angle of 30.4 degrees for off-roading.
Width: 2,015 mm (Mirrors Folded)
The Everest's width has been increased in the latest generation to provide more shoulder room and a more stable footprint. At over 2 meters wide (mirrors folded), it is one of the wider vehicles in its class, which aids in lateral stability when cornering or navigating off-camber trails.
Height: 1,841 mm
With a height of 1.84 meters, the Everest provides a classic "commanding" driving position. It features functional roof rails that can support a static load of up to 350 kg, making it perfect for roof-top tents. The height also ensures ample headroom for passengers in the first and second rows.
Wheelbase: 2,900 mm
The 2,900 mm wheelbase is a 50mm increase over the previous generation. This change has pushed the wheels further to the corners, improving stability and creating more room for rear-seat passengers. It also contributes to a smoother ride by better absorbing bumps on corrugated roads.
Ground Clearance: 229 mm
Everest boasts an unladen ground clearance of 229 mm. While slightly lower than the Ranger Raptor, it is more than sufficient for most overland trails and deep ruts. It also features a class-leading wading depth of 800 mm, allowing it to cross rivers that would stop most other family SUVs.
Kerb Weight: 2,550 kg (Platinum V6)
The high-spec V6 Everest is a heavy machine, with a kerb weight of 2,550 kg. This weight comes from the heavy-duty 4WD hardware, the V6 engine, and the extensive sound-deadening material used to keep the cabin quiet. To manage this weight, Ford uses electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) that makes the vehicle feel light and easy to drive.
Turning Radius: 5.9 Meters
Surprisingly, Everest has a relatively tight turning radius of 5.9 meters (11.8m circle), which is better than many pickups. This makes it much more manageable in suburban shopping center car parks and tight U-turns. The steering is light at low speeds and firms up at higher speeds for better control.
