2.625 -> We get a lot of requests from our viewers
4.625 -> on what they believe our next review should be.
6.875 -> Trust me, we're doing our best to get our hands
9.375 -> behind the wheel of the cars, you and I both want.
12.25 -> Sometimes, it's easy peasy Japanesey, other times,
16.25 -> not so much.
17.875 -> And then there are other requests for cars that have been
19.65 -> around for quite some time, still look good,
22.275 -> but for some strange reason, have eluded our radar.
25.875 -> And to be honest, we don't know why.
28.1 -> Or why really,
29.625 -> since it's named after the Earth's highest mountain above sea level
32 -> and it's bathed in the color they call the Sunrise Red.
34.9 -> I hope it's not too late for a throwback Thursday
37.3 -> because this is the 2018 Ford Everest 3.2 4x4
54.15 -> Now, it is intimidatingly calm--like a protector.
59.45 -> From the get go, this thing looks at you as if
61.2 -> it wants to say, "let's go" in this deep, deep voice.
65.45 -> Upfront, you've got a large grille that can compete
68.125 -> with a whale shark that's feeding,
69.625 -> flanked by HIDs and DRLs on either side.
73.625 -> Fog lamps are found down below,
75.125 -> as is the very generous approach angle of 29.5 degrees.
79 -> That space is roughly about--half the tire
82.2 -> which means you got that much space before you hit anything
85.8 -> and your face turns to
87.9 -> Is it just me or does the lower bumper make it
89.9 -> look like Hudson Hornet from Cars?
96.15 -> Now, I ain't gonna lie to you; standing next to this thing
98.55 -> makes me look even more like an Oompa Loompa
100.3 -> plus we parked it next to these trees
102.5 -> so now I look like tinker bell
103.875 -> but it's not just my small frame
105.75 -> and don't let these tires fool you
107.9 -> because those are 20s down there.
109.65 -> Now, granted the car has 20,000km on it
111.625 -> and those tires are about 50% of their life
114.1 -> but they are still very thick.
116 -> It's just that the car is the second highest and
118.8 -> the longest mid-size SUV available in the Philippine market at 4,893mm.
124.875 -> It can also wade at 800mm of water.
127.875 -> That's 31 inches!
135.4 -> Now, at the back, above the very generous departure angle of 25 degrees,
140 -> you will find a pair of extremely bright rear fog lamps which I think are pretty cool.
144 -> Above that, a simple but functional rear lamp design.
147.125 -> Now, the power tailgate will reveal only 450 litres of space in it's 7-seater configuration.
152.625 -> Not much really.
154 -> But if you apply some David Blaine on this thing,
157.2 -> then you'll have 1,050 litres.
158.7 -> If you fold the second row,
160.25 -> then you've got enough space for the Lions to warm-up for a Monday night game
169.375 -> David Blaine gets chicks with hot pants and I get stuck with him.
176.4 -> The third row is as you'd expect from most 7-seaters,
179 -> better for smaller passengers like myself.
181.2 -> However, this is a proper 7-seater--it's not an afterthought
183.875 -> these guys for purpose built.
185.625 -> It's comfortable enough though because the air vents do stretch the entire length of the car
189.4 -> and the second row has the ability to move forward just a little bit to make it a bit more comfortable.
193.9 -> Visibility? Nothing great.
195.625 -> You're in the third row--you don't really expect much
197.8 -> and the windows here aren't that great
199.625 -> so for shorter trips--yeah, shouldn't be a problem.
202.875 -> Comfortable with space and lots of it.
205.7 -> This thing right here was built for Americans--tall ones too
209 -> because the amount of headroom and legroom is actually pretty generous,
213 -> so too are the toys found back here.
215 -> You start off with two cupholders in the center arm rest,
217.8 -> there are speakers on both doors,
220 -> you've got your air vents up here
221.8 -> air controls are found down here with temperature control too
225.4 -> and of course, this is a serious note--
228.3 -> there is a 230 volt 150 watt plug that you can use for emergency purposes.
234.55 -> Imma make me some American pie.
242.875 -> The interior shapes give it a very alpha male vibe.
246.7 -> It's got circles, it's got squares.
249.3 -> It's a carbon copy of the Ranger really so it's outdoorsy.
252.875 -> In the instrument cluster, the speedometer is obviously round
255.65 -> but it's flanked by square trip and entertainment computers,
258.8 -> the chest out audio and air controls and even the 8-inch touchscreen,
262.9 -> all enhanced the overall function over fashion vibe that you can find all over this car.
267.625 -> And I like it.
268.75 -> I mean it looks like it can eat the game it just caught raw and spit out the buck shots.
275.8 -> But with finesse naman--
276.775 -> I mean after all, it's covered in leather.
279.2 -> The seats are comfortable.
280.9 -> You'd expect just a little bit more though in terms of power.
283.875 -> See, there is a way to adjust it via the levers for the driver and the passenger which is electronic
288.7 -> It's just that the lumbar support is a manual lever.
293 -> Why? I don't know.
294.8 -> Maybe they're saving all that energy to power the 12v sockets
298.125 -> and there are four of them inside this car
299.9 -> the two USB charging ports plus there's a plug to boot.
303.55 -> That's enough energy to start-up the Philippine Arena.
306.9 -> Okay, maybe too much.
308.125 -> Maybe Meralco Theatre?
311.1 -> Active park assist, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise,
316.625 -> and cabin noise cancellation are just some
319 -> of the toys and technologies found in the Everest
321.25 -> to keep you happy as clam.
369.7 -> Visibility? Not a problem
371.65 -> when you are moving forward.
372.9 -> It's when you slow down and take tighter turns, that's when it can get kinda dicey.
377.15 -> See, the eight pillars is relatively small for a car of this size.
380.9 -> It's the Will Smith's (ear) sized side mirrors that can catch you off guard.
385.5 -> When you make a turn, you don't know if you're looking at the road or at your reflection.
389.15 -> It can get kinda tricky.
391.8 -> The steering is light--very light in fact that first time drivers
397.125 -> might have to play catch up when they lay the power down.
400.125 -> The power comes from the 3.2, 5-cylinder, 6-speed automatic diesel
399.125 -> which produces 200 horses and 470 nm of torque
409.625 -> which nets you a combined 8.2 kilometres per litre.
413.7 -> Now, when I say combined, it's because we took it
415.6 -> down south, we took it up north, and through Metro Manila traffic.
419.5 -> Back to the steering, it will keep you honest though
422.375 -> because if you try to change lanes without indicating,
425.375 -> man, this thing will tighten up and tighten up good.
434.1 -> The 3.2 makes for a very comfortable drive.
437.3 -> And the seats as I mentioned earlier are comfortable as well.
440.3 -> It's like a very alert lazy boy. It's very nice.
443.75 -> Now, thanks to the leather, it makes it getting in and out
446.3 -> of the car easy for driver, for front passenger, or for rear passengers.
450.8 -> However, as the law does stipulate that seat belts should be worn at all times,
455.375 -> for the rear passengers even more so.
458.25 -> Because the lack of bolstering on the chairs back there
460.9 -> will put you in for a ride on tighter turns.
465.7 -> Vincent!
475.2 -> The 2018 Ford Everest 3.2 4x4 Titanium comes in at P2,288,000
482.7 -> Now, there is a more affordable variant--the 2.2 litre 4x2
487.4 -> which has almost the same amount of toys as this good looking BFG right here.
491.7 -> One cylinder, 85nm, 40hp, and P230,000 less
498 -> which makes for a great car--still
500.85 -> and both cars do wade in 800mm of water which makes it great for flood prone areas.
507.5 -> But if you want big daddy over here,
510.125 -> well, I'm sure you'll find a reason to scratch the palm.
