The Ford Everest: The Ultimate Towing Companion for Adventurers

For those who crave adventure and the thrill of towing, the Ford Everest is the ultimate companion. With its rugged capability, innovative technologies, and smart safety features, hitching and hauling a trailer or caravan have never been easier, safer, or more convenient.

The Ford Everest boasts an impressive 3,500 kg towing capacity, making it a go-anywhere vehicle that enables owners to bring everything they need for epic adventures. Whether you’re hauling a boat trailer for a weekend on the water or a camper for a few days in the great outdoors, the Everest is designed to make towing a breeze.

Rob Hugo, dynamic experience supervisor for Ranger and Everest at Ford Australia, emphasized the importance of towing performance, stating, “Ultimate towing performance is absolutely essential for thousands of adventure-craving owners.” Ford has designed and engineered the Everest to cater to both novices and experts, ensuring that the towing experience is seamless and stress-free.

Hitching a trailer is often a challenging task, but the Ford Everest simplifies it. The 360-degree camera provides a top-down view to guide the Everest close to the trailer, while reverse view with dynamic lines and distance guides helps align the tow ball and receiver. For pinpoint accuracy, the hitch view button offers a bird’s-eye view of the tow ball and receiver.

The Everest also offers a trailer connection checklist integrated into the SYNC system, walking owners through the steps required to safely connect the trailer. You can even check your trailer lights without a spotter, thanks to the SYNC screen or the FordPass app.

When it comes to confidence on the road while towing, the Everest has you covered. The dedicated Tow/Haul drive mode optimizes power and control, especially in hilly terrain, and provides engine braking. A trailer brake controller adapts its output based on brake pressure, enhancing braking performance and reducing the risk of trailer brake lockup.

Innovative trailer sway control is another remarkable feature of the Everest. It works alongside the electronic stability control system to detect and eliminate trailer sway, ensuring a safe towing experience.

For added peace of mind, Ford’s blind spot information system (BLIS) now includes trailer coverage, helping you change lanes with confidence. By creating a profile for your trailer on the SYNC touchscreen, BLIS extends its radar sensors to monitor adjacent lanes for hazards.

In conclusion, the Ford Everest is the ideal companion for adventurers who demand the best in towing capability, safety, and convenience. With its innovative features, it transforms towing into a hassle-free and enjoyable experience, allowing you to focus on the thrill of your next adventure.
