2025 Ford Everest Summary

The Ford Ranger line-up’s limited-edition Tremor arrived here in the second half of 2024, now the Ford Everest gets its own Tremor.

Based on the Everest Sport, this Tremor is not a limited-edition variant and gets the 3.0-litre, turbo-diesel V6 engine (rather than the Ranger Tremor’s 2.0-litre four-cylinder twin-turbo diesel), and to boost the 4WD wagon’s off-road capability, Ford has given it new longer coil springs, Bilstein dampers and General Grabber AT3 all-terrain tyres.

The Tremor also gets 'Rock Crawl' drive mode, heavy-duty bash plates and side steps, as well as some Tremor-specific styling and branding inside and out.

So, is this bush-boosted 4WD wagon worth your consideration?

2025 Toyota Fortuner Summary

The Toyota Fortuner has been around since 2015 with very few significant changes in the years between then and now.

And that’s telling because the HiLux-based Fortuner has never managed to make the mark in its market segment that Toyota would so dearly like it to.

With a new Fortuner possibly due in the not-too-distant future – with Toyota’s mild-hybrid 48V V-Active system onboard perhaps? – it’s worth revisiting the seven-seat Fortuner to see how the current ageing 4WD wagon stands up against its fresher rivals.
