Ford Everest Tremor unveiled with off-road upgrades

Ford has revealed a hardcore off-road focused version of the Everest SUV in Australia. Known as the Everest Tremor, the SUV gets a range of upgrades to make it even more capable than the standard version that was once sold in India under the Endeavour moniker.

 

The changes include a suspension upgrade, off-road tyres, underbody protection as well as some visual enhancements. Ford has equipped the Everest Tremor with position-sensitive Bilstein Dampers with a lift kit without affecting its 3.5 tonne towing capacity. It gets 17-inch blacked-out alloy wheels wrapped in General Grabber AT3 All-Terrain tyres and Asphalt Black wheel arch mouldings.

Other additions include a new grille with factory fitted auxiliary LED lights, front tow hooks and a steel bash plate. Ford is also offering an optional Rough Terrain Pack which adds an ARB Stealth Bar at the front, ARB Under Vehicle Armour and an auxiliary switch bank. The Everest Tremor also gets a new Rock Crawl drive mode in addition to the six existing on and off-road drive modes, along with bespoke ebony leather-accented seats embossed with Tremor logo and all-weather floor mats. The Tremor badging is also seen on the front doors.

Powering the Everest Tremor is the range-topping 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine that puts out 250hp and 600Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 10-speed automatic gearbox sending power to all four wheels. 

The Everest Tremor is priced at $83,303, or Rs 46.94 lakh in Indian currency, without any options. We had previously reported that Ford is considering bringing the Everest to India through the CBU route first, followed by commencement of manufacturing in late 2025 or even 2026. While the Everest was sold under the Endeavour moniker in India previously, it's likely to be badged the Everest this time around.
