The Ford Everest Tremor stable is set to grow with the introduction of the Tremor, an adventure-ready variant aimed at off-road enthusiasts and weekend warriors. Ford Australia has confirmed that local supply of the Ranger Tremor is limited to 1150 units, but it’s unclear how many examples of the Everest Tremor will be made available to Australian buyers.
Enhanced Off-Road Capability
Dubbed the ‘most capable Everest ever’, the Tremor builds on the blueprint laid down by the limited-edition Ranger Tremor ute offered to Australians in 2024, but this time with V6 diesel power and a permanent slot in the local lineup. The Everest Tremor introduces significant mechanical upgrades that set it apart from standard variants.
Highlights include Bilstein position-sensitive dampers, new springs, and General Grabber AT3 all-terrain tyres. The new suspension and rolling stock adds 26mm of extra ground clearance to the ensemble which combines with a unique black front fascia and honeycomb grille – including auxiliary driving lights – to deliver a more imposing and capable-looking aesthetic.
Specialized Terrain Management
The Everest Tremor is based on the previously penultimate Sport grade ($72,490) and will start from $76,590 plus on-road costs, the extra cash netting buyers Bilstein position-sensitive dampers, new springs, General Grabber AT3 off-road tyres and the Ranger Raptor’s Rock Crawl drive mode. This additional drive mode optimizes traction and torque distribution for extreme off-road conditions.
Powerful V6 Diesel Engine
While the Everest Sport gets the option of a 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel engine, the Tremor is only available with the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel powerplant that’s been residing in higher-spec Everests and Rangers. Paired with a 10-speed automatic, it has outputs of 184kW and 600Nm.
Fuel Economy and Emissions
The Everest Tremor’s fuel consumption is rated at 9.5L/100km (ADR Combined) with CO2 emissions of 250g/km. These figures reflect the vehicle’s enhanced off-road capabilities and increased ride height. Under Australia’s New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES), the NVES starts on 1 January 2025 and will apply only to new cars, ensuring improved fuel efficiency across the automotive market.
Safety and Technology Features
The Ford Everest has a five-star ANCAP rating based on the 2022 testing of the Ranger ute. According to ANCAP, The Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP SAFETY) is Australia and New Zealand’s independent voice on vehicle safety, providing crucial safety assessments for Australian consumers.
Advanced Safety Systems
The Tremor comes with almost every safety feature under the sun, including adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition and lane centring, speed assistance, dynamic stability control, blind spot monitoring with cross traffic alert, pre-collision assistance with autonomous emergency braking and intersection assistance, a lane keeping and driver alert system, reverse braking assistance, front and rear parking sensors, and a rear-view camera.
