Ford New Zealand has announced the addition of the Everest Tremor as a rugged and capable expansion of its hugely popular SUV family, said to offer improved offroad capabilities, without compromising on towing capacity or on-road comfort.
The Everest Tremor offers a 3.0-litre V6 turbo diesel engine delivering 184kW of power and 600Nm of torque, complemented by enhanced suspension and tyres, that feature Bilstein position- sensitive dampers, new springs, and General Grabber AT3 All-Terrain Tyres that provide 26mm of additional ground clearance compared to the standard Everest.
Complementing these features, a Rock Crawl Drive Mode, unique within the Everest range, optimises traction and momentum on loose and rocky surfaces, ensuring confident off-road exploration. Completing the package, a rugged exterior design includes a distinctive honeycomb grille design with auxiliary LED lamps, a steel bash plate, heavy-duty side steps, and signature Tremor badging.
The Everest Tremor continues to offer a 3,500kg maximum braked towing capacity alongside a premium interior with Tremor-embossed leather accented seats, ebony-coloured interior accents, and all-weather floor mats to provide a comfortable and stylish cabin. Everest Tremor will be available in the exclusive Command Grey exterior colour along with Meteor Grey, Arctic White and Absolute Black. Available from June 2025.
