Tough new Everest Tremor

News and General

Hot on the heels of the Ford Ranger Tremor, Ford Australia has unveiled a Tremor version of the popular Everest SUV.

Powered by Ford’s 184kW/600Nm 3.0-litre turbo diesel V6 engine, the Everest Tremor has a wider and more capable suspension and also gains off-road features such as Rock Crawl Drive mode, first seen in the Ranger Raptor. This mode is unique within the Everest range and optimises traction and momentum on loose and rocky surfaces.

Like the Ranger version, Everest Tremor features Bilstein position-sensitive shock absorbers, new springs, and General Grabber AT3 All-Terrain Tyres. It has 26mm of extra ground clearance compared to the standard Everest.

The exterior features a distinctive honeycomb grille design with auxiliary LED lamps, a steel bash plate, heavy-duty side steps, and signature Tremor badging.

Inside, the SUV also features premium interior with Tremor-embossed leather accented seats, ebony-coloured interior accents, and all-weather floor mats to provide a comfortable and stylish cabin.

Tremor has a selectable drive mode system, SYNC 4 infotainment system, and Ford’s comprehensive suite of safety technologies.

The Tremor retains Everest’s class-leading 3,500kg maximum braked towing capacity.

Developed in Australia, the Tremor – in fact the whole Everest range – is not available in America. Availability in New Zealand is almost certain, though no timing information has been confirmed.

Across the Tasman, Everest Tremor has a manufacturer’s list price of $76,590.

Customers can further personalise their Tremor with a range of factory-fit options, including the Rough Terrain Pack featuring ARB accessories, a Touring Pack, a Premium Seat Pack, and a Towing Pack.

Production of the Everest Tremor is expected to start in November 2024.
