FULL SERVICE HISTORY. NEW TYRES. 7 SEATS. READY TO TOW.

If you're looking for a spacious, comfortable family SUV with genuine towing ability but don't need the added complexity of 4WD, this 2016 Ford Everest Trend 2WD represents a lot of vehicle for the money.

With 126,000 km, full service history and a brand-new set of tyres, this Everest has the history and maintenance we like to see in a quality used vehicle.

Better still, it's already been set up for towing with a towbar, Anderson plug and 12-pin trailer plug, while window tint and weathershields add to the everyday practicality.

Seven seats. Turbo-diesel power. Great history. And plenty of equipment for the money.

THE HISTORY YOU WANT TO SEE

At this age, how a vehicle has been maintained matters enormously.

And that's where this Everest stands out.

It comes with a full service history, providing its next owner with a clear record of the maintenance carried out throughout its life.

It's travelled 126,000 km, which averages out to relatively modest annual use for a vehicle of this age.

And we've just fitted new tyres, taking another significant expense off the shopping list for its next owner.

Good history.

Sensible km.

New tyres.

That's a great foundation for a used family SUV.

3.2L FIVE-CYLINDER TURBO DIESEL

Under the bonnet is Ford's proven 3.2-litre five-cylinder turbo-diesel, producing a strong 143kW of power and 470Nm of torque.

It's matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, providing the low-down pulling power and relaxed highway performance that made this generation of Everest such a popular choice for Australian families.

That 470Nm is particularly useful when you've got passengers and luggage on board or something substantial connected to the towbar.

It's a big, effortless diesel engine ideally suited to the character of the Everest.

ALREADY SET UP FOR TOWING

This Everest has already had some of the important towing equipment fitted.

You get a:

Towbar.

Anderson plug.

12-pin trailer plug.

For someone with a caravan or trailer, that's a very useful starting point.

The Anderson connection is commonly used for caravan auxiliary power and battery charging applications, while the 12-pin connection provides the additional circuits often required by larger caravans.

Rather than buying a completely standard SUV and starting the towing setup from scratch, a lot of the groundwork has already been done.

2WD – AND FOR MANY BUYERS, THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE

This particular Everest is the rear-wheel-drive 2WD model.

And if you're not planning to tackle serious off-road tracks, that can make a lot of sense.

You still get the things people buy an Everest for:

The big turbo-diesel engine.

Seven-seat versatility.

Excellent passenger space.

Strong towing ability.

High driving position.

And the comfort of a large family SUV.

If your driving consists primarily of bitumen, highways, school runs and towing on formed roads, you may simply never use a low-range 4WD system.

Why pay for something you don't need?

For the right buyer, the 2WD Everest can be an extremely smart way to get into a large diesel seven-seat SUV at a much more attractive price point.

TREND – A BIG STEP UP IN EQUIPMENT

Being the Trend, this isn't a basic specification Everest either.

Inside you'll find a comfortable and well-equipped cabin designed for families and long-distance driving.

There's satellite navigation, an 8-inch touchscreen with Ford SYNC 2, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and push-button start, along with a reversing camera and front and rear parking sensors to make manoeuvring this large SUV considerably easier.

You also get the additional comfort and presentation that made the Trend such a popular grade when new.

It's an older SUV, but it certainly doesn't feel basic.

SEVEN-SEAT FAMILY PRACTICALITY

This is where the Everest really earns its keep.

You get three rows of seating and room for seven, making it ideal for larger families or simply giving you the flexibility to carry extra passengers when required.

When you don't need the third row, fold it away and you've got significantly more luggage room.

Heading away for a weekend?

There's room for the family and the gear.

Doing the school run?

You've got the extra seats when friends need a lift.

Hooking up the caravan?

You've got a big turbo-diesel SUV that's already had useful towing equipment fitted.

It's that versatility that makes an Everest such an easy vehicle to live with.

NEW TYRES – ONE LESS THING TO WORRY ABOUT

Tyres aren't the most exciting feature to put in a vehicle advertisement.

But when you're buying a used SUV, a brand-new set matters.

It's one less expense waiting for you after purchase and another indication that this vehicle has been prepared properly before being offered for sale.

Add the full service history, and you've got the sort of used vehicle where the important maintenance story stacks up.

READY FOR ITS NEXT FAMILY

There's a lot to like about this Everest.

It isn't trying to be a hardcore off-roader.

Instead, it's a comfortable, spacious and well-equipped seven-seat turbo-diesel SUV that offers excellent value for someone who primarily drives on-road.

And this particular example adds the things we really like to see:

126,000 km.

Full service history.

Brand-new tyres.

Towbar.

Anderson plug.

12-pin towing connection.

Window tint.

Weathershields.
