Revealed to he public for the first time in 2003 at the 24th Bangkok International Motor Show, the Everest was a mid-size SUV designed for the Asian markets.
Based on the Ford Ranger, the exterior look was similar and they also shared at least 60% of the mechanical components, such as the 2.5-liter turbodiesel engine, the double wishbone independent front suspension and the leaf spring rear suspension.
The aim was to create a better Ranger, with improved comfort and handling.
The 2.5-liter engine developed 110 hp, mated with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic. The Everest was available with a two-wheel-drive or a four-wheel-drive system.
The Everest offered seating for 7 in a roomy cabin, while the cargo area was generous.
While the engine was not a powerful one, it offered decent performance for the Everest to perform well on different road types. The Everest handled well with rougher terrains, however, it was not a disappointment at highway speeds and on longer journeys either.
Different systems for enhanced safety and comfort were available, such as power steering, anti-lock braking system, driver and passenger airbag, power front windows, air conditioning and fog lights.
Overall, the Everest offered reliable performance for a price that other SUVs could not have offered.
