Overseas, Ford sells another body-on-frame mid-size offering, the Ranger-truck-based Everest SUV. Now Ford has introduced an more off-road-focused Everest Tremor variant in Australia, increasing our disappointment that Ford has no plans to market the Everest stateside.<\/p>\n The new Tremor model sits an inch higher than the standard Everest and rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels shod in chunky General Grabber AT3 tires, with a 1.1-inch-wider track. The Tremor rides on completely rethought suspension composed of new springs and position-sensitive dampers from Bilstein with external reservoirs. The Tremor also gains a Rock Crawl drive mode. An array of packages are offered including the Rough Terrain pack, which adds an even more hardcore front bumper.<\/p>\n Visually, the Tremor is distinguished by a blacked-out, beefier grille with integrated LED lights, a chunkier front bumper, a robust skid plate with built-in tow hooks, and heavy-duty side steps. The cabin is fitted with leather-accented seats wearing embossed Tremor logos and all-weather floor mats. The seven-seat Tremor also comes well equipped with dual-zone climate control, an eight-way power driver’s seat, and adaptive cruise control.<\/p>\n The Tremor doesn’t feature any upgrades in the powertrain department; it’s motivated by the same 3.0-liter V-6 turbo-diesel engine. The four-wheel-drive system is set to 247 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque via a 10-speed automatic gearbox. The maximum towing capacity is 7716 pounds. The Everest Tremor will cost the equivalent of roughly $51,400 at current exchange rates when production starts this fall in Australia. While the Everest would make a strong competitor to Toyota’s recently updated Tacoma<\/a>-based 4Runner<\/a>, it’s unlikely the SUV will ever hit American dealerships.<\/p>\n You Might Also Like<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
