Just wanting to know how the 2023 Ford Everest goes towing a caravan? Is the suspension up to it?
Answered by CarsGuide
11 Jan 2024The current model Everest is rated to tow up to 3500kg (with a braked trailer) making it one of the better credentialed tow-vehicles out there. These ute-derived station-wagons sometimes lose a little of the towing capacity of their dual-cab brethren on the basis of their more complaint rear suspension (which makes for a nicer ride). But, somehow, Ford has managed to retain the full 3500kg towing capacity for the Everest.
The question then becomes which engine you choose and, on balance, the V6 turbo-diesel is the one to have. The V6 models cost a bit more, but they do get you all-wheel-drive (great for towing) and the V6 engine has a handy 30kW and 100Nm more that the four-cylinder version. All things considered, the Everest is a great vehicle with which a tow a caravan.
