Tremor treatment a seismic shift for off-road addicts.

SHAKE UP time from Ford, with confirmation that the off-road accentuated Tremor grade already availed to the Ranger ute will also provision to the related Everest sports utility.

The pack primarily provisions upgraded suspension and tyres, though as the brand-delivered images show, there’s also a styling enhancement inside and out.

Much like Ranger Tremor, the Everest Tremor receives a premium suspension set-up consisting of Bilstein position-sensitive dampers and new springs. As with the ute in this spec, the Everest will ride on General Grabber AT3 all-terrain tyres. This suspension and tyre package combines to provide an additional 26mm of ground clearance compared to a stock Everest.

The Everest Tremor is purely powered by the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine, which generates 184kW and 600Nm and runs through a 10-speed automatic transmission. The 2.0-litre biturbo powertrain isn’t a consideration.

The Everest Tremor retains the standard vehicle’s maximum braked towing capacity of 3500kg; plus, it benefits from a Rock Crawl drive mode – just like the Ranger Tremor – which is essentially cruise control for off-roading.

Premium interior features include Tremor-embossed leather-accented seats; ebony-coloured interior accents; and all-weather floor mats. Tech consists of a selectable drive mode system; Ford’s SYNC4 infotainment system; and a comprehensive suite of safety technologies.

Ford NZ has yet to share arrival timing or pricing.
