In America, the refreshed 2025 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator mid-size crossover SUVs have recently been released. While both are impressive, it begs the question: is it necessary to spend a significant amount of money on the luxurious Aviator when the sporty Explorer ST may be just as good at a much lower starting price?
Meanwhile, in Europe, efforts are being made to attract customers who prefer a sportier driving experience. This includes the introduction of the detuned Ford Mustang GT and Dark Horse, which have fewer horsepower compared to their American counterparts. Additionally, for those in need of more space and the ability to carry heavy loads, MS-RT has announced the fresh Transit Custom MS-RT and Ranger MS-RT. These vehicles serve as a sporty trackside van and a feisty street pickup, respectively. Unfortunately, no new offerings have been announced for China, the rest of Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
Thankfully, the world of digital car content creators is always ready to speculate on any omissions from OEMs. For example, virtual artist Nikita Chuicko, known as kelsonik on social media, believes now is the perfect time to create CGI renderings of the Ford Everest. This mid-size body-on-frame SUV is closely related to the Ranger and is specifically designed for the Asia-Pacific region.
Given the recent introduction of the Ranger MS-RT in Europe, it comes as no surprise that Chuicko wanted to give the third-generation Everest a sporty makeover. The unofficial changes are subtle but impactful. The front bumper has been redesigned without fog lights, focusing more on aerodynamic qualities. The radiator grille has been integrated more seamlessly with the C-shaped headlights, surpassing the design of the OEM. Additionally, the suspension has been lowered, and the SUV now features a set of massive black aftermarket wheels.
While this remains purely wishful thinking, it is hard not to wonder why Ford is denying its American customers the option to have an Everest in their driveways. Although the Ford Bronco serves as a rugged off-roader related to the latest Ranger pickup truck, this independent author has found a way to avoid competition with the SUV. By making the Everest sportier and more visually appealing than Ford’s old and unexciting Edge model, imagine the delight if this Everest were to arrive in America with the Ranger Raptor and Bronco Raptor’s twin-turbo V6 engine under the hood. It would truly be a treat.
