Because if you're shopping for a 4wd, if you dont want a ute, whether something is ute-based or not becomes irrelevant. You want something that carries people and stuff and is 4wd. The platform doesnt matter.

Because they are the most comparable of the lot. 3500kg towing and v6 are the game changes, puts the Everest above the Prado now.

Don’t forget the Prado shares it’s driveline with Hilux….

And I've wondered the opposite. Everest is quite clearly marketed as an Everest competitor, comparisons have proved that the Everest is streets ahead of the Fortuner and Pajero Sport and is a match for Prado. This new generation moves the game ahead.

They're both ladder-on-frame 4WDs. They are directly comparable.

Prado & Tacoma are on same platform so technically Ute based from another motha……
Also, Ford actually benchmarked T6 Everest against the Prado, not the Fortuner….

The fact that Toyota has never merged its two Utes and SUVs says a lot for regional influence…

My guess is:

60k for RWD Ambiente 2.0
64k for AWD Ambiente 2.0
68k for Trend 2.0
72k for Sport 2.0
75k for Sport 3.0
85k for Platinum 3.0

All drive away.

I’ve registered my interest and will be ready to place a forward order when they are released

You will be waiting a long time…. I’d put a deposit now fully refundable when final spec and pricing released.

Looking for a delivery sometime in 2023 but I’ll put my name on one early - probably a V6 Platinum at this stage

I really like this. Ford kicking goals with this and the new Ranger. I'd love to think they could make a Everest Raptor model.
