2024 Ford Everest price and specs

After hiking prices of its Everest range from January 1, Ford Australia has made some specification changes and announced additional, smaller price increases.

UPDATE, 02/05/2024 – Ford Australia has confirmed price increases for all vehicles invoiced from June 1, 2024.

“The price adjustments are consistent with the evaluation of market conditions we regularly undertake across our product portfolio, which take into consideration a number of different external factors such as currency and material cost considerations,” said a Ford Australia spokesperson.

UPDATE, 20/01/2024 – Ford Australia has announced changes to its Everest range as part of what it’s calling a model year 2024.5 update. We’ve updated this article with information on these changes.

UPDATE, 16/09/2023 – Ford Australia is hiking Everest pricing by up to $2490, citing market conditions. The increases will come into effect for all MY24 vehicles produced from January 1, 2024. All orders contracted from September 15 that have production allocated will be price protected.

The 2024 Ford Everest range opens at $54,240 before on-roads for the Ambiente 4×2 bi-turbo and extends to $81,115 before on-roads for the Platinum 4WD V6.

Prices are up by between $250 and $1625 for vehicles invoiced after June 1, 2024.

Updated vehicles, referred to by Ford as MY24.5 models, entered production in March, and arrive in local showrooms around mid-year.

The limited edition Wildtrak, which arrived in the third quarter of 2023, has finished its run and won’t be available as part of the MY24.5 range. The rear-wheel drive Trend has also been axed.

Ford Australia has confirmed Everest models with a power tailgate will lose the hands-free functionality, while Ford has also removed automatic high-beam from all bar the Platinum and removed MyKey functionality.

But, as announced earlier this year, there have been some feature additions as well.

The range-topping Platinum gains the option of Pro Trailer Backup Assist, which allows the driver to ‘steer’ the trailer via the outer ring of the drive mode controller while the car moves the steering wheel.

It’s part of a new Pro Towing Pack on the Platinum, priced at $2900.

Other changes for MY24.5 include zone lighting and black stand-off roof rails as standard on the Everest Trend and Sport. These features were previously in the optional Touring Pack, which now costs $2500 and includes Pro Trailer Backup Assist.

All the option packages besides the no-cost all-terrain tyre packages on the 4WD Sport and Platinum are up by between $200 and $250, while Sedona Orange has been removed from the colour palette.

Drivetrains

The 2024 Ford Everest shares its engines with the Ford Ranger, and is available with two turbo-diesel powertrains: a 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo four-cylinder, and a 3.0-litre V6.

Standard on Ambiente, Trend, and Sport 4×2 trims is a 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo four-cylinder producing 154kW of power and 500Nm of torque. This is 3kW less than the previous-generation Everest, while torque is unchanged.

It’s mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and is available in rear- or full-time four-wheel drive configurations. The related Ranger ute with the Bi-Turbo engine is only available with a part-time four-wheel drive system.

Standard on the Sport 4×4 and Platinum is a 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine producing 184kW and 600Nm. This is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, with drive exclusively sent through a full-time four-wheel drive system.

4×4 features

The Everest features a full-time four-wheel drive system with a two-speed electromechanical transfer case featuring 2H, 4H and 4L modes, plus a 4A mode for high-traction surfaces like paved roads.

This 4A mode when selected can continuously distribute power between the front and rear axles for “optimum performance in all on-road conditions”. Essentially, it behaves like an all-wheel drive car in 4A.

There’s also an electronic locking rear differential on four-wheel drive models that can be activated through the infotainment touchscreen.

All 4×4 variants of the Everest also receive an e-shifter gear selector instead of a traditional mechanical gear selector.

Depending on the Everest variant, there are a variety of drive modes that change the vehicle’s throttle response, gearshifts, traction control and ABS. These include the following:

Normal
Eco
Tow/Haul
Slippery
Mud/Ruts
Sand

Standard on all 4×4 models besides the entry-level Ambiente is an ‘Off-Road Screen’ (ORS) that’s able to display the following information:

Driveline and electronic diff lock indication
Steering angle
Vehicle pitch and roll angles
Off-road features button

A surround-view camera, which is standard on the top-of-the range Platinum and optional on the Trend 4×4 and Sport, can also be interacted with in this ORS.

Efficiency

Model	Fuel economy
Ambiente 4×2	7.1L/100km
Ambiente 4×4	7.2L/100km
Trend 4×4	7.2L/100km
Sport 4×2	7.1L/100km
Sport 4×4	8.5L/100km
Platinum 4×4	8.5L/100km

The whole range features an 80L fuel tank, although aftermarket specialist ARB offers a long-range unit as well.

Dimensions

The 2024 Ford Everest is 4914mm long, 2207mm wide, and up to 1842mm tall, with a 2900mm wheelbase.

The maximum braked towing capacity for the entire Everest range, including 4×2 variants, is 3500kg.

Maximum payload is up to 741kg, gross vehicle mass (GVM) is up to 3150kg, and gross combined mass (GCM) is 6250kg across the entire range.

Boot capacity with the second-row seats upright is 898L and with the third-row upright there’s 259L.

In vehicles fitted with Ford’s factory tow bar, there’s a trailer coverage system that allows you to set the length of the trailer you’re towing. It supports trailers varying from 2.4 metres to 10 metres long.

This system takes the length of the trailer into account and adjusts the sensitivity of the blind-spot assist.

The optional Tow Pack also includes an integrated brake controller.

All Everest models have a Tow/Haul drive model that optimises gear shifts to maintain the best power delivery and engine braking, as well as reducing shift ‘busyness’ when towing.

Servicing and Warranty

The Everest is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty like the wider Ford range.

Maintenance is required every 12 months or 15,000 kilometres, and the first five services are each priced at $379 under the Blue Oval’s capped-price service program – $50 higher per service than in pre-MY24 vehicles.

Safety

The Ford Everest earned a five-star ANCAP safety rating on the back of an 86 per cent score for adult occupant protection, a 93 per cent score for child occupant protection, a 74 per cent score for vulnerable road user protection, and an 86 per cent safety assist score.
