2023 Ford Everest project vehicle
The Everest Ambiente is the base model in Fordu2019s 4×4 wagon line-up, so it essentially gives us a blank canvas to build it into a capable and comfortable touring 4×4 wagon!
Off the back of our biggest build EVER – the 2023 Ford Ranger V6 Sport we transformed into the most capable next-gen tourer on the planet (biased opinion, of course) thanks to the Australia’s elite aftermarket industry – we honed our focus toward the other off-roader in Ford showrooms: the go-anywhere Everest!
Like we did with the Ranger, our aim with the Everest is to convert it into an world-class tourer loaded with the world’s best accessories. Once we’re done with it, it’ll be ready to tackle any 4×4 track within Australia, and then provide the ultimate camping set-up once we’ve arrived at our secluded destination.
