Ford Everest [Merged]

[Mercenary]

being an owner of a 2004 1st gen everest 4x2, wala kaming masabi in terms of it's value....our unit clocked ~50thkm, and it is still running strong. lumusong na sa baha 3x sa kasagsagan ni milenyo, akyat sa mga island to avoid fallen trees, and many more....a good value for money indeed, pa-align lang ng mabuti ang front wheels as it seems to have been designed na parang volks, 1st gen specifically.
serviced by ford alabang since it hit 5thkm, very good service to our standard. in fact better than honda alabang if i relate it to the service of our other vehicle.
bumpy? yes on the 3rd row seat, but my small kids kinda like it on a short ride....but only for cargo on long drives.
being a family man, everest is a good buy.....if in case we will replace it, well get the new eve....

Matipid ba sa Diesel ang EVE 07 mga Sirs?

Oks lang Sir, mga 8 to 12 kms per liter.

I'm also satisfied with the 2007 Everest, even fuel consumption is fine. However, the service of my dealer is very poor (the one with quality care in its name, how ironic). Please advise what Ford dealer has good or best service. Thanks!

Bossing Native Kim, kakadeliver lang po ng 4x2 manual everest ko, so the fun starts na! Although, hindi na ko nag test drive, I merely relied on what I read on this forum, so far, so good. Eto lang yung mga charactheristics na baka maging issue sa yo, minor lang naman, pero acceptable naman lahat sa kin:
1) Yung ride nya, siempre being pickup based, hindi sya kasing soft ng mga kotse/sedans, o yung mga "crossover type" na mid SUVs.
2) Turning radius, a little wider compared to the fortuner, pero acceptable din sa kin kasi yung Estrada nga namin, grabe, mas wide pa.
3) Siempre, mahaba wheelbase nya, so hindi sya kasing maneuverable compared sa ibang mas shorter ang wheelbase.
4) Yung handbrake/parking brake, sana ginawa na lang nilang parang pang kotse, sa tingin ko, kaya naman nila na idesign ng ganun.
5) The spare tire location, siempre, nasa likod, so ingats dapat kasi baka me maatrasan ka,
6) Yung aircon, di kasing lamig ng starex ko.

Any other major issues, malalaman natin later kung magkakaproblema later pero wag naman sana. Kumuha na rin ako ng extended warranty para wala na masyado isipin.

At eto naman dahilan kung bat' everest kinuha ko:
1) Great engine yung 145HP na 2.5, kasi you get enough power at matipid na rin naman. Yung 2.5 kasi ng fortuner, 105HP lang daw, at yung Sportivo, 88 HP lang ata. CRDi type pa sya, so good power at low RPMs.
2) Sya rin ata pinakamaluwag sa loob compared to the Alterra at Fortuner.
3) Easily removable pa yung 3rd row seat, so puede kargahan ng mga goods.
4) At just 1.2M average price, sa tingin ko, best value for your money.
5) Solve na solve ako sa manual, kasi A/T yung starex ko, at yung dating CRV ko, A/T rin. You get full control of the RPMs, power, torque, etc. Love ko rin pag kakaset up ng gear ratio nya, kasi, yung Pajero at Estrada namin, naka set up na very high torque at low acceleration sa 1st gear. Satisfied ako sa acceleration nito on the 1st gear.

Hope this helps, at sana, wag tayo magsisi, unang FORD ko pa naman ito. Antayin ko sana yung bagong Starex, kaya lang, parang baduy na pareho starex ride ko, he, he. At, nakakahinayang isabak sa malubak na Quirino Hiway ang starex. Sorry, haba ng post ko, excited pa kasi.

NICE FEEDBACKS ON FORD EVEREST... NOW, I VERY POSITIVE TO BUT A NEW ONE... TNX A LOT

Just want to share my experience with my Everest. Mukhang ako lang ata ang hindi satisfied sa unit.

I got my everest last 2004.

First day pa lang, napansin kong masyadong mausok at malamang bagsak sa smoke belching. Dealer claims that this is normal to some of their units that needs some adjustment. Fortunately, nabago naman.

After just 1 year and 2 months and with 8K odometer, I have to replaced the battery.

Before it reach it 2nd year and at less than 15K, I also need to replace the stopper and bushing. Dealer was charging me more than 5K for the replacement.

Last month, after 2 years and 9 months, my power windows on the driver's side was no longer working. So far, I have not sent it yet for repair.

With just more than 2 years of use and low mileage, this is the first time I have encountered all these defects.

Matipid ba sa Diesel ang EVE 07 mga Sirs?

sir to get the best mileage.. i try as much as possible to avoid traffic. the best record i got from san pablo to quezon city and back is about 15km/liter on a saturday morning 5-7 am.

furthermore nowadays na laging umuualan it pays to have a dependable sport utility vehicle!

sir sorry to hear sa problems ng eve mo kahit low mileage pa siya, pero tanong ko lang bakit it was not covered by Ford's 3-year warrantee.

my 2nd generation eve is due for the 20k km psm this month and pa-check ko rin sa casa some possible problems like what you encountered...

ciao

All the defects that I encountered was the normal wear and tear according to them hence should only cover a one year warranty (for the battery) or less (for other parts).

I should have used my ride more often for a provicial sortie or even go off road. Maybe, it will be more easier for me to accept all the defects.
