We went down the Everest Path and ended up selling after 14 months, There was a number of very annoying things
- No recover point Anywhere
- Cheap plastics
- Terrible Gearbox ( forever revving and rolling gears over )
- Plastic fuel tank guard ( broke first 4wd trip )
- Ad Blue
- Terrain Selector, Overated
- Clearance 225 ? Nope about 190 at best
( this was annoying 6months old factory tyres and pressure )
There was 4 or so spots well under 220.
We really like our Kakadu, on road it's a little slower but believe me it's still nicer to drive the Prado has the power there you just next to put your foot down a little further, the Everest is very throttle seanative goes like a dog out a gate but that's it put your foot to the floor it really does not go much better than 1/4 throttle
Off-road Prado hands down, The Everest is way too stiff and has no flex it lifts wheels all the time.
Longevity was a concern with the ford too but the classification saga was the final straw even worse was how they delt with the issue
I took the Kakadu away 4wding over the holiday brake to the high country In complete Show room Floor Trim, Except a snorkel and rear diff breather, it really was impressive it did not miss a beat the tracks turned greasy quick after a solid day of rain, all the other 4wd in our group were heavily modified and they thought I had no chance of making the long steep climb back out of the valley but it was no problem at all.
