For adventurers with towing needs, the Next-Gen Ford Everest offers a combination of rugged capability, innovative technologies, and intelligent safety features that simplify, enhance, and secure the hitching and hauling process.
With its go-anywhere capabilities and an impressive 3.1T towing capacity, the Next-Gen Ford Everest is designed to empower owners to embark on epic adventures with all the gear they need. The vehicle's advanced towing technology ensures that handling heavy loads becomes a breeze, allowing owners to spend more time confidently exploring the great outdoors.
"As temperatures drop across the Middle East, we're now enjoying the perfect weather for all things outdoor," noted Andrew Gregory, Brand Marketing Manager for Everest at Ford Middle East.
Equipped with a suite of technology-enabled safety and convenience features, the Next-Gen Ford Everest is engineered to provide adventurers with the necessary tools for various excursions, whether it's pulling a speedboat to the seaside or transporting a dune buggy to the desert.
Making the hitching process stress-free, the 360-degree camera of the Next-Gen Ford Everest offers a top-down view to guide the vehicle close to the trailer. The reverse view, complete with dynamic lines and distance guides, assists in aligning the tow ball and receiver. For pinpoint accuracy, the hitch view button provides a bird's-eye view of the tow ball and receiver.
To ensure a thorough check before hitting the road, the Next-Gen Ford Everest includes a trailer connection checklist integrated into the SYNC system. This step-by-step reference guide walks owners through the process of safely connecting the trailer, including a feature to test trailer lights without a spotter.
Towing novices and seasoned pros alike can benefit from the dedicated Tow/Haul drive mode, offering an optimal balance of power and control. The system holds gears longer, provides engine braking in hilly areas, and increases steering wheel resistance for improved control and comfort.
The Next-Gen Ford Everest enhances confidence during braking with a trailer brake controller that adapts its output based on the vehicle's brake pressure. This works in conjunction with the anti-lock brake system (ABS) to prevent trailer brake lockup under heavy or sudden braking.
Introducing innovative Trailer Sway Control, the system collaborates with the electronic stability control system to monitor towing performance. If sway is detected, the system alerts the driver to slow down, applying brake pressure to individual wheels and the trailer brakes if necessary.
Adding an extra layer of safety, Ford's blind spot information system (BLIS) now includes coverage for trailers up to 2.4 meters wide and 10 meters long. BLIS utilizes radar sensors to monitor adjacent lanes, offering alerts about potential hazards and enhancing confidence when changing lanes.
In essence, the Next-Gen Ford Everest combines robust towing capabilities with a suite of advanced technologies, making it a reliable and intelligent choice for adventurers seeking ease, safety, and convenience in their towing experiences.
