But I do like the 3.2 litre 5 cylinder diesel. A mate has a Ranger Wildtrak with this engine and an auto box - one of the better utes available on the market at the moment. He also has a Landcruiser 200 series twin turbo 4.5 litre V8 diesel which he bought to tow a large enclosed trailer for work. Surprisingly, he tells me that the Ranger is far better at pulling the trailer than the Toyota is.

If I was in the market for a ute, choice would be between the Ranger and an Amarok for me. If I was looking for another 4WD wagon - there's still nothing that gets close to the Disco IMO.

Thanks Baz. I've just posted to the young bloke's facebook page. He'll love it (a couple of his mates have Rangers / BT50s.)

Just need to be able to understand what they're saying ..................

I was just reading a couple of reviews on the Everest. Seems like their "Terrain Management System"(TMS) is very similar to LR's terrain response. Maybe there's a market for Gordon to expand and branch out with training?

They also have a campfire lighting app inbuilt... Ford Everest Bursts into Flames During a Road Test in Australia, Burns to the Ground

There is not a shadow of a doubt in my mind after watching this video, that the left hand side of that road has more traction :P

Has anyone given a top of the line Everest a proper try out to be able to report back compared to a similar priced Disco? I know they're /kind of/ a Ranger but Ford made a big deal out of the interior being upgraded and the rear coil suspension being a huge improvement etc etc.

Cheers

These guys have ... well sort of. It's only around town; Everest Titanium vs Disco SDV6. And they gave the win to the Disco:

There is a strange comment at the end suggesting that the Prado won an offroad comparison but only against the Everest (different YouTube video).
Not sure why the Disco wasn't included in this comparison:
