MELBOURNE- With more and more Australians taking road trips and choosing off-roading adventures, the Ford Everest makes the perfect companion.

'We know the travel habits of Australians are changing in the wake of COVID-19, and more and more Aussies will be looking for road trip adventures. The Everest offers a smooth ride on the highway, plus genuine off-road, off-the-beaten track capability,' said Andrew Birkic, President and CEO, Ford Australia and New Zealand.
