Ford Everest v Toyota Landcruiser 200 Series in the Watagans, Greens Break Rd

- From our camping weekend in the Pines Campground in the Watagans. We took the Ford Everest, Toyota Landcruiser 200 series, Toyota Landcruiser 76 series, and an ex-army Jeep up 5 ways (only the 200 series and Everest attempted 5 ways) and Greens Break Rd in the Watagans.
Spoiler alert: the Everest takes it all easily including all the hard lines. No other vehicles attempted all the hard lines, and both Landcruisers required winching in different areas. The 76 series popped a bead (not on video) and it took us 3hrs to winch it to level ground to change the tyre.
We finished the trip with a swim at Caves Beach. Was a great weekend away. We hope you enjoy watching. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Great driving in the Everest mate
Cheers mate - thanks for the visit
Love from india ❤️
Everest name india in Endevour 🔥🔥🔥
I don't understand why the LC200 owner has spent all that money on the vehicle (Bull bar, winch, roof platform) but still has standard tyres?
The tyres have now been changed! It was bought from a previous owner that put the road tyres back on.
@@braydenhowie Thanks, it did seem odd. Your videos of the Everest are great for those who are potentially looking at purchasing this video. I am looking at purchasing one. My 18 year old HDJ100 manual has served me well, but time to upgrade. My only concern with the Everest is not having a true 100% centre locking diff.
Simon Mul cheers mate. The Everest is certainly a very different vehicle to the 100. I haven’t missed the centre diff lock - in situations it is needed I use rock mode and lock the rear diff. Rock mode provides a 50/50 split with a clutch that will save the vehicle from damage. The TC on the front in rock mode is very tight - you’ll see this working in another vid from Watagans 5 Ways. Other modes give more degrees of slip on the TC and a different front/rear split. These modern 4WD systems are getting very solid - I was skeptical before purchasing, but I’m a convert now. Comfortable, easy to use, and very capable. But certainly a change in driving style from the old rigs.
@@braydenhowie Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback 👍
Yep. The tyres were killing it. And the driver of the Everest was more aggresive with speed.
Wicked video. Wish we had some tracks like this nearby.
Cheers mate
Bit of an unfair fight I think as a comparison, with an obvious difference in driver skill/confidence levels. That said, the Everest is very impressive. It’s a bit of a wolf in sheep clothing I think! I’m looking to buy one soon because of the 7 seats and the 4wd Capability. To be honest, I was wanting to buy a Ute, But wifey will be driving it mostly and the seating and on road manners are also a consideration. I’ve looked at a lot of comparisons between the Everest and the competition (particularly Prado) and the Everest is for me at least the best choice.
Nice looking car mate with the lift and the winch bar. Great video. Thanks.
Cheers. To be fair to my mate, it was a new vehicle and still on stock tyres. I think I’d be taking it cautiously with my new 200 too! But the Everest can certainly hold its own in most company. It’s certainly a much more comfortable proposition to any ute and no less capable off-road if that’s the priority. For me it was this or the Prado - no regrets
hey Brayden , i loved the fact that you dedicated a certain section of the video to the kids , offroading can be fun with familes too .
i had a question about the everest , i own the same one here in india , its called the the endeavour 3.2 . havent you found the traction control in the everest to be disappointing , i mean it relies very heavily on the rear difflock for off roading . one cross axle rut and without the diff lock the car is stuck , with one frnt and one rear wheel spinning . have u faced this situation when difflocks are off ???
Thanks. Yes absolutely found the same thing. It's probably my biggest gripe with the car. The Toyota's TC is superior off road. The Everest isn't the worst I've seen, but it's not the best. You really have to push through the TC to get it to work, and that can totally wipe out momentum up a slippery hill. I've had it let go on both front wheels uphill in mud and the car dropped backwards under acceleration. The Ford engineers need to figure out how to tune the TC for off road - the Toyota I think is the benchmark in this area.
@@braydenhowie thanks for the detailed reply mate !!! ever thought of installing an after market ARB difflock in the front to solve the issue ? i am thinking abt it , so is it even a good idea ?
Yes, in fact I had it priced up about 6 months ago. In the end I didn't install it - cost benefit just not there for me. Plus I've seen others install a front locker in the Everest then end up blowing CVs. Strengthen those and I'd likely end up snapping axels or worse - figured it could be a path to increasing cost for a somewhat minor gain. But interested to see how others go with it - I could certainly be convinced. The front TC isn't terrible, just not as good as Toyota's in my opinion. I'll have another video up later in the week that will provide some good comparison with the LC200 where all vehicles reached their limits - it got as far as the 200 on every obstacle, but did need a bit more effort in some scenarios. That being said about Toyota TC, the Hilux was well behind the Ford.
@@braydenhowie waiting for that video !!!! cheers !!!
The landcruiser has normal road tyres pretty stock put from the factory....no surprise
Agree - tyres make a huge difference
I just purchased a 2020 Ford Everest 4x4 titanium, it will be arriving next week which is end of October 2019. Have you noticed anything weak about the BiTurbo? Is there anything particular you think I should pay attention to?
Congratulations - great car. I’m sure you’ll love it. Mine is the 3.2L so can’t comment on the BiTurbo. A great resource is the Ford Everest Club Australia Facebook group - I’d recommend you jump on there and see what owners have to say. Depending on what you plan to do with it there are plenty of enhancement options. The Everest is a great modern platform for a number of applications
i have the bi-turbo, no regrets, very smooth on-road and powerful enough offroad, you wont miss the 3.2
As a Prado owner I wish I had a Everest with a lift and some good tyres it looks like it 💩 on my Prado. Even with a lift the underbelly of a Prado is low and there is many things that get hit that hang lower.
Mate the important thing is you take the car you’ve got and just get out there. No 4wd is perfect. Plenty to love about the Prado
Cool, what changes have you made on Everest? Is the bull bar ARB?
The bar is by Uneek. Other mods are 2 inch lift on Fox upfront and Tough Dog in the back, all terrain tyres, sliders, spotties and winch.
nito027 congratulations - hope you enjoy it. I’m running BFGs in 275/70/17 which fit snug in the spare wheel bay. I understand you can fit 285/70/17 although a small trim may be required. Mine is MY17 - can’t speak for the newer models
Ford on deflated all terrain tires ....LC on fully inflated street tires :/
Highway tyres yes, but they had been deflated
