Conquering the (Ford) Everest: It’s easier than it sounds

It doesn’t take much to appreciate the All-New Ford Everest and its way of impressing people with its beauty and brute strength. Whatever type of person you are, you’re sure to enjoy the simple pleasure of conquering every challenge the road offers.

Philstar.com was given the opportunity to scrutinize the Ford Everest and we were excited to go through every nook and cranny of this tough and highly capable SUV.

The world is flat. Let’s face it, the reason why you want to get an SUV in the first place is you want to rely on the car’s strength and stability on different types of terrain. With the kind of roads Manila has right now, you’ll sooner or later opt for a car with reliable control with every turn of the wheel.

With the Everest’s Terrain Management System, all it takes is a turn of a dial and whatever terrain you’re about to drive through will feel as smooth as a freshly paved road. No more sudden turns just to avoid that pesky pothole. No need to break a sweat when you’re going uphill or downhill thanks to Ford Everest’s Hill Launch Assist and Hill Descent Control. With these two reliable features, you won’t have to overwork that foot or nervously grip your handbrake.

Easy breezy. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out the bells and whistles of the Everest. Parking is still a pain for most drivers and with an SUV, it can sometimes be a mountain of pain just to park the car correctly. With the Everest’s Active Park Assist, parking convenience is just a push button away.

These days, cars have to be more road smart than drivers and the Everest puts your safety as its top priority. With features like the Lane Keeping System and Blind Spot Information System, you won’t ever have to worry about straining your neck just to get a good view of what’s behind and beside you. Aside from several airbags for additional safety in case of a accident, the car will activate its Collision Mitigation warning system by pre-charging your brakes and alerts you with a brake light warning directly on your windscreen.

A dash of comfort and style. Be in control always without having to do much actually. Most controls are already on the wheel and with the Ford Everest’s SYNC 2, your voice is the car’s command.

For a family man, the Everest has space for 7 people to sit comfortably, and speaking of family, you’re most likely the main man to load stuff inside the car with everything ranging from bags to coolers. No biggie with the Everest’s 3rd row PowerFold seats, where, with a touch of a button, the car seats will fold itself, eliminating the strenuous effort of folding and bending.

Mountain of strength. The Ford Everest packs enough delivering power when you need it. Don’t worry about power even when you’re carrying mountain bikes or a mountain of stuff with its max payload of 750kg*. Get owned with its towing strength, with the Everest is able to pull up to 3 tons!

Overall, whether you are a “big car” man or just a guy used to driving a sedan, you can find the All-New Ford Everest right for you. Even with its compact body, this SUV is more than capable of delivering its promises. On your road to driving bliss, there’ll surely be ups and downs, but with the Everest by your side, all it needs is a little push (of a button).
