The Ford Everest range has gained a rugged BaseCamp special edition for 2021, plus drive-away pricing across the range and some minor tweaks.
UPDATE, 20/05/21 – Ford has confirmed some minor changes for what it calls the MY21.75 Everest. We’ve updated the article and brought it forward.
There have been further running changes during 2021, with the Everest range losing its CD player for MY21.75.
The Everest Trend retains a power tailgate but loses the hands-free functionality, which is now exclusive to the Sport and Titanium.
Pricing remains unchanged for MY21.75 models, which reach dealers in July.
Using a name applied to an accessories package last year, the BaseCamp is based on the Trend and offers a choice of the 3.2-litre turbo-diesel five-cylinder or 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine.
All BaseCamp models are four-wheel drive.
Costing an additional $2000, the BaseCamp adds off-road accessories like a snorkel, LED light bar, and a 76mm diameter black nudge bar.
There’s also a Sunseeker awning and a Pioneer roof platform, with aesthetic changes including decals and a grey-finish grille and skid plates.
Ford added a rear-wheel drive version of the existing Sport trim level for 2021, available exclusively with the more powerful 2.0-litre engine.
The Everest range is otherwise carried over from 2020, though Trend and Titanium models add a new chrome grille with grey mesh. Titanium models feature Everest lettering above the grille.
