While Americans are stuck with just the Ranger pickup, our Aussie friends have been enjoying the SUV sibling, the Everest. And now, Ford has unveiled the Everest Tremor, a more rugged, off-road-focused version. It boasts beefed-up suspension, rugged all-terrain tires, a powerful turbodiesel V6, and a dash of Raptor-inspired flair. The new addition to Ford’s lineup comes shortly after the debut of the Ranger Tremor. The Everest gets a similar treatment, looking more adventurous than ever.

The exterior flaunts a new honeycomb grille, a steel bash plate, heavy-duty side steps, and eye-catching orange Tremor badges against an exclusive Command Grey paint. Inside, you’ll find Tremor-embossed leather seats, all-weather floor mats, and ebony-colored inserts. A standout feature of the Everest Tremor is its black wheels wrapped in General Grabber AT3 All-Terrain tires, enhancing off-road traction. Complementing this are Bilstein Position-Sensitive Dampers and new springs that boost ground clearance by 26 mm. Plus, it boasts a Rock Crawl mode, just like the Ranger Raptor.

 

The Everest Tremor comes exclusively with a 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel, cranking out 247 hp and 600 Nm of torque. It also maintains a 3,500 kg maximum braked towing capacity. Unlike the Ranger Tremor, which uses a smaller 2.0-liter bi-turbodiesel, the Everest’s power is managed by a 10-speed automatic transmission that powers all four wheels.

The Ford Everest Tremor starts at AU$ 76,590 (US$ 51,675), making it AU$ 6,900 (US$ 4,655) pricier than the Ranger Tremor but still cheaper than the Everest Platinum flagship. Optional extras include the Rough Terrain Pack with ARB off-road gear, plus the Touring Pack, Premium Seat Pack, and Towing Pack. The SUV is already available to order through Australian dealers, and is set to enter production in November 2024. Unlike the Ranger Tremor, which is capped at 1,150 units in Australia, Ford hasn’t specified how many Everest Tremors will be built.

Before the Tremor, the most capable version of the Everest was the Wildtrak, available in markets like New Zealand and South Africa. Ford previously dismissed plans for an Everest Raptor, but that stance might shift if the Tremor proves to be a sales hit.
