Ford Everest Super Duty Not Ruled Out

Ford Everest Super Duty Not Ruled Out

A Ford Everest Super Duty could be possible in the future, if there’s enough customer demand for the SUV body.

At the 100th birthday of Ford in Australia, executives refused to rule out an Everest Super Duty for the future, following the public unveiling of the Ranger Super Duty.

While the Everest is essentially an SUV version of the Ranger ute, the Ranger Super Duty has been upgraded significantly under the skin to plug the gap between the standard model and its bigger sibling, the F-150.

“If there became a market need for an Everest Super Duty and we could make a business case, then anything is possible,” Ford’s regional design boss Max Wolff told media.

“I would say for the moment the need is for the Super Duty Ranger and that is what we have delivered and we have delivered that in spades.”

These digital illustrations by artist Theottle provide an idea of what the Everest Super Duty could look like.

While the Ranger Super Duty has had its gross vehicle mass (GVM) increased to the maximum amount allowed on a car licence (4500kg), along with an 8000kg gross combined mass (GCM) for towing, the additional capability could be useful for families needing to tow – along with three rows of seats.

The increase in popularity of caravanning in Australia in recent years has meant some travellers have found their vehicles to be illegally overweight once they load their camping gear, luggage, water, fuel, and hitch on their caravan.

The problem becomes more difficult for those bringing their children, and the extras often needed to entertain them while on holiday.

“It’s a very flexible platform and it can do lots of things as you can see today,” said Ford’s global design boss, Todd Willing.

“We deliver what people are asking for, essentially, so that will drive the decision,” he told media.

When asked specifically about a potential Super Duty Raptor, he added, “There’s always opportunities to learn more by talking to customers and that will drive any future derivatives of the [Super Duty].”

If the Ranger wasn’t enough of a thorn in the side of Toyota – and its best-selling HiLux, overtaken in recent years by the Ford ute – an Everest Super Duty could create more headaches for the Prado, which was recently updated to mixed reviews.
