The Base Camp version is limited to 450 vehicles and offers some $6000 worth of accessories for around $2200 additional price. The benefit is also that all accessories have factory warranty.

Buyers can choose from the 5 CYL 3.2L engine that 143Kw/470Nm or the newer 2.0L 4 cyl bi-turbo engine producing 157Kw/500Nm. There is a slight difference in the towing capacity between them.

With a new Ranger coming early next year the new Everest won’t be far behind and the current model is showing its age a little but is still a good true 4WD.

Pricing is reasonable starting from $64,990 RDAP
