Ford Everest vs Toyota Fortuner
Verdict
The Ford Everest asks RM266,388 against the Toyota Fortuner’s RM195,880, so the gap is a big RM70,508. For that, the Ford gives more size, a 2,900 mm wheelbase, 259 litres of boot space and a stronger 167 hp/405 Nm diesel. The Toyota counters with all-wheel drive, a five-year warranty and a 4-star ASEAN NCAP score, while matching the Ford on seven seats, seven airbags and an 80-litre tank. If you need AWD, the cheaper Fortuner has the cleaner brief.
Pick the Ford Everest if you want the bigger SUV, the stronger 167 hp diesel and the larger 259-litre boot, and you can live with rear-wheel drive and a three-year warranty.
Pick the Toyota Fortuner if you want the lower RM195,880 price, all-wheel drive and a five-year warranty more than extra size or power.
