maybe that's their testing over the Westgate a few times looking forward to seeing it and kicking its tyres

So they can see how it handles getting stuck in traffic or winds

It's funny, talking about vehicle testing. One thing we don't think too much about in Australia is the horn. You use it in anger very occasionally, but in countries like Thailand and India, it is seriously used every few seconds.
We had to put some really high quality horns into the Ranger and Everest to ensure they are up to the task. Not much gain for us here, but some useless trivia for you.

So true. When someone cuts me off i want to scare the daylights out of them. I dont want a tiny toot toot that sounds like it came from a smart car

Ha, I agree. Unfortunately, I'm not sure the pissy horns on most cars, including Ranger and Everest would meet that requirement, but they will meet tooting for years and years!

Need to fit one of these then.

@Soaring , can you confirm or deny (or not answer yet) if the Everest will have ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) as an option?

I can confirm 100%, it will have ACC. But not sure if it's an option or only available on certain spec level.

@Soaring
do you have any info on the expected release date? I'm very keen to check one of these out as the Jeep is almost out of warranty and I'm being pressured into a 7 seater again.

 

[Soaring]

Hey there @Matty4
No exact release dates yet, but I would estimate dealers here would start getting stock around August.

Hi all

Watched the forum for a while now and first post.

Have been keen on the idea of the Everest so watching with interest for the release details. https://www.facebook.com/FordEverest has a link to the Ford Philippines site which has the page on the Everest also a download brochure that might be of interest to those also waiting. It is in English.
