Car Profiles - Ford Everest

FORD EVEREST

Still hanging on after almost 10 years, the Everest is one solid pick in the mid-size SUV market. Ride is bumpy, no thanks to the standard leaf springs but off-road skills are excellent. A choice when things get rough.

The Good: Tough as nails
The Bad: Bouncy ride

Price Range: P1,290,000-P1,690,000
