Ford Everest 2023 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Ford Everest 2023 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

Is the 2023 Ford Everest good for towing a caravan?
The current model Everest is rated to tow up to 3500kg (with a braked trailer) making it one of the better credentialed tow-vehicles out there. These ute-derived station-wagons sometimes lose a little of the towing capacity of their dual-cab brethren on the basis of their more complaint rear suspension (which makes for a nicer ride). But, somehow, Ford has managed to retain the full 3500kg towing capacity for the Everest.
The question then becomes which engine you choose and, on balance, the V6 turbo-diesel is the one to have. The V6 models cost a bit more, but they do get you all-wheel-drive (great for towing) and the V6 engine has a handy 30kW and 100Nm more that the four-cylinder version. All things considered, the Everest is a great vehicle with which a tow a caravan.

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