The 2018 Ford Everest range of configurations is currently priced from $20,800.
Our most recent review of the 2018 Ford Everest resulted in a score of 8.4 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Mark Oastler had this to say at the time: There is little to dislike about the Ford Everest. It’s competitive with the segment-leading Toyota Prado on price, features, technology and tow ratings, and offers superior engine performance, sharper ride and handling and a more engaging driving experience. It’s also a competent off-roader, tow vehicle, urban all-rounder and, for our money, a better looker, too. And it offers a RWD variant for under $50K.

It doesn’t sound right, does it? While it’s possible for an engine to be perfect one minute and blown up the next, you’d expect some sort of warning that this was about to happen. Which begs the question of why didn’t the Ford mechanic spot that there was a problem.
Probably the best advice is to have the engine independently inspected to find out what broke or went wrong. From there, you can work out whether you were just unlucky, or the dealership missed something or somehow contributed to the engine’s demise.
For the record, these engines won’t tolerate being drained of oil for more than about ten minutes. Due to the design of the oil pump, leaving the engine drained for more than that length of time means the pump won’t work when the engine is restarted and the engine will blow up soon after. Plenty of mechanics have been caught out by this, but surely not a Ford dealership…

It would appear that Ford is doing the right thing by replacing the engine under warranty, so you have no complaint there. As for the other issues, on which you haven’t elaborated you should negotiate with Ford’s customer service seeking a deal that satisfies your concerns.
