03 / Class

Where it stands

The Everest’s best numbers against every other SUV we track that publishes them.

Max payload: 855 kg (Australian figure), not compared: only 4 SUVs in our data have a rating for the same market, and a comparison needs five.

Each number is the best configuration of the newest model year we have that publishes it (at most two years back), factory packages included and fleet-only configurations left out, against the same for every other vehicle in its class that publishes it. Tow and payload ratings are compared within one market, and pickups within their size when five or more share it.

04 / Spec plate

Spec plateAustralian figures

2026 Ford Everest

One configuration per trim, named under each heading, with its numbers as Ford prints them. “Up to” is a ceiling printed over several configurations (the notes say whose), “from” the lowest figure, and a range is printed across that configuration’s grades. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label.

Third-partyA double underline marks a figure from a magazine test, dealer or spec site, not Ford’s own documents: shown only where Ford publishes nothing, and never used for a headline, comparison or ranking. Its page is listed under the plate.

Australian figures: these come from Ford’s Australian documents. Ratings in other markets, the US among them, can differ.
