    Does it make sense to buy an Everest diesel in 2023?

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Everest Ford Everest Advice Ford Everest 2023

    I'm planning on buying a new/used car this year and would love to get into a seven-seat, dirt-road, camping friendly SUV. The Ford Everest is a favourite on the short list, but does it make sense to spend $60K-plus on a diesel car in 2023? What's the likely resale future for this car? And is diesel likely to be affordable in five years' time?

    The current-model Everest (particularly with the optional turbo-diesel V6 engine) is a great choice and is a clear class-leader in dynamic and accommodation terms. It's also a tremendously capable vehicle off road, so it should suit your needs very well indeed. On that basis, it will hold its value better than most of its competition, purely because it will remain a popular choice.

    Your concern over the continued availability of conventional fuels is understandable, but should really be nothing to worry about as both petrol and diesel will continue to be available long beyond your five-year horizon. Vehicles like the Everest will also be the last bastions of conventional fuels, as the long distances in remote areas that they are so good at are the very conditions that don't suit electric vehicles at all. Yes, petrol and diesel will inevitably become more expensive, but so will electricity.
