- 2024.5 Ford Everest: Full Australian details
- Pro Trailer Back-Up Assist added as option for Trend, Sport and Platinum
- Trend RWD variant dropped from line-up
The 2024.5 Ford Everest off-road SUV is set to receive various upgrades and a smaller range of models.
The new Pro Trailer Back-Up Assist is the main addition, which is borrowed from the full-size F-150 – and also coming to the related Ranger ute.
This feature enables drivers to manoeuvre their trailers using the outer ring of the drive mode selector on the centre console. The steering wheel turns automatically to direct the trailer as the driver turns the dial, so they don't need to touch the wheel during the manoeuvre.
The Pro Trailer Back-Up Assist feature will be optional for the Everest Trend and Sport as part of the Touring Pack. The Platinum model is now available with a new Pro Towing Pack that includes the Pro Trailer Back-Up Assist feature, along with a tow bar and an integrated brake controller.

Other updates include standard zone lighting and black stand-off roof rails for the mid-spec Trend and Sport variants.
The Trend two-wheel-drive variant has been removed from the Everest line-up, while the limited-run Wildtrak special edition variant will not be offered for model-year 2024.5.
While Ford has not raised prices for the updated Everest, all variants previously saw price increases between $500 to $2490 applied from January 1, 2024.
The Everest now starts from $53,990 before on-road costs for the Ambiente 4x2, rising to $79,490 plus on-roads for the Platinum V6 4x4.
The Ford Everest, which was crowned the 2023 Wheels Car of the Year, was the nation's second-best-selling large SUV in 2023, with 15,071 sales, beating the Isuzu MU-X (14,139). However, it was unable to overtake the popular Toyota LandCruiser Prado (20,710).
