- The Ford is outnumbered by Toyotas down on Gees Arm South Trail at Wheeny Creek. The track is certainly tougher than last time we were here. Every vehicle gets pushed to the limit - the winches come out for everyone.
This time the Ford Everest is joined by two Toyota Landcruiser 200s and a Toyota Hilux - all on 2 inch lifts and 32-33 inch tyres.

Bought my Everest in 2017 and still loving it. I have about 130k on the clock and it runs like I drove off the show room floor. I tow a trailer when we go camping. It been to from Sydney to Qld and Vic many times. Nothing has broke and it's been a solid dependable vehicle.
Glad to hear it. I too can't complain about Ford's service
I've been test driving everest.
2L certainly changes gears a lot compared to 3.2.
Very disconcerting at first.
I'm guessing you dont notice that after a while.
@@Ted...youtubee I don't have extensive experience with the 2L - driven it for a couple of days only. I think you get used to almost anything after a while though...
Seriously didn’t realise how good those Everest’s are, what a beast
Yes indeed - a very under-rated 4WD
ford everest is my favorite suv!
Yep - I don't mind it too...
Watched all your videos, some great stuff in here. Looks pretty even here with the LC200 silver now having better tyres. That Hilux is having a bad day though - I drive one out bush for work and find the electronic aids in that to be a bit lackluster. Seems similar with the one here, TC letting it down on the front?
Questions about your Everest. I know you have a Fox/tough dog lift. What size wheels and tyres are you running? Looks like you got similar offsets to stock (55mm) and have nice clearance inside the guards. Be nice to know as I'm getting all that stuff locked in for mine in the near future.
Thanks mate. Yeah the Hilux I thought was a bit disappointing as the TC in the Landcruisers (both Prado and 200) seems to be superior to the Fords, but the Hilux in this scenario was certainly inferior. That being said, these same 3 cars (Everest, LC200, Hilux) did the complete track a couple of months later. This Hilux winched a couple of times, but the Everest and LC200 only once on a rock impossible to clear on 2 inches. In real world off road use I'd still rate the Ford TC better than the Hilux, but it wasn't as bad as it seemed to be in this video. Perhaps driver confidence/capability had improved?
Wheels are 17 inch. Tyres are BFG KO2 275/70/17 on the stock offset. Clearance inside the guards is no issue, and not really any poke, but it's close so any larger I'd say you're likely to get some poke. The car can take up to 285 with no scrubbing on 2 inch lift and still fit the spare underneath. Larger than that you're likely to start needing to modify things further.
@@braydenhowie Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. Glad to hear the Hilux got around the next time.
That's awesome, just what I needed to know. I'll go down to my local place and try a 275 and a 285 and see what they look like. I'll be booked in for the 2" lift so I'll just go on looks and any poke outside of the body. Thanks again.
Looks like a great day with mates. Have you changed out the step treads to rock sliders on the Everest? If so what did you go with?
Thanks mate. Yes, it's now got the sliders from Southern Cross Fabrications (SCF).
Nice video!!! Pity that Hilux did not deflate sufficiently
Yeah not sure what PSI he was running this time. He did come back and join us again for another crack at this track and we ensured his pressures were correct that time. We all got to the end the second time round (it's a very tough track for modestly modified vehicles like these). The Hilux still struggled the most and required the winch more often than the Everest (once) and the LC200 (twice), and copped the most damage, but it made it out and back.
Needs a front locker in the everest
I'd love one - would you like to sponsor it!?
@@braydenhowie i think the evrest is doing great without it
@@vishalganatra7719 Thanks mate
Even without a front locker traction control should do the job most of the time
That black 200 really needs to hammer bury the foot to go uphill. Is that a throttle damper or crawl gear cause those V8s have power on tap it shouldn't struggle that much
Nope - all standard. The terrain is much steeper than it appears on video. The 200 has power, but also more weight.
do you know anyone who has installed a locker in thr front axle in the everest , do you think its worth it ?
Not personally, but from the online forums I know a few have. I looked into putting one in and decided against it for now. In my view, clearance and suspension travel should be improved as much as possible before worrying about the front locker - if you don't have the clearance the front locker won't save you anyway, and a bit of extra travel will keep the traction systems working nicely. Clearance is a bigger issue for me. I've heard some people having problems with broken CVs with one in, but couldn't say if that was driver, equipment, installation, conditions, or the locker itself - others have had one in and not had an issue. For me it's not worth the money at this stage, but whether it is for you or not really depends on what your doing, how often you do it, and how critical it is that you have the locker vs just winching if the car doesn't make it.
Yeah ur right , even I have decided to not go for the locker for now , I would rather invest in the winch or better recovery gear instead of opening up the factory differential .
There’s a channel “ do it in the dirt “ he’s got the front locker in the Everest and has some extreme off-roading videos .
But he also busted his CV and has himself said that adding the front locker was the most controversial upgrade
Check out his videos , it shows what the Everest can do if the front traction problem is solved
Looking at the Everest, it's out top choice ahead of testing the 21 fortuner model.. what's the reliability like for the ford? So many positive comments, but so much ford bashing comments
I think bashing of any of the major brands is unfounded - all are pretty good, none are perfect. I've run into a few issues over the years, but Ford have always addressed them no question even out of warranty. My full list: AdBlue heater replaced, pinion seal leak x3, timing belt cover replaced. Regarding the pinion seal, after 2 seal replacements they found a slight manufacturing fault they believe to be the cause and replaced the whole assembly - time will tell if this resolves the issue. But I've owned a few Toyota's over the years too, and while I loved them, they also had issues. I honestly don't think reliability is the differentiator between the Everest and the Fortuner (the Ranger and Hilux have both been in Australia a long time, and both are solid) - it comes down to other factors, and only you can judge which of those are most important to you.
Did any of the 200 used the crawl control at all?
Sorry no idea
What tires are been run on the Everest?
They are BFG KO2 275/70/17
Ford Everest is like no other 🔥🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌
LC200 did not have the crawl control it seems
I believe they did have crawl control - but I guess physics wins sometimes
What tire size are on that Everest?
These ones are 275/70/17. The current set are 285/70/17
Mantap gaes -mantap offroad nya -salam sehat -semoga sukses selalu dan sehat 👍👍👍 salam mampir dan sub....... gaes
