Hitch the van, load the family and head off. Our 2026 Ford Everest Platinum V6 pairs Ford’s 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel with full-time 4WD, a 10 speed auto and an electric trailer brake controller fitted from the factory.

V6 Power Built for the Long Haul
Under the bonnet sits Ford’s 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel, delivering 184 kW and 600 Nm of torque through a 10 speed automatic. That torque arrives low in the rev range, which is exactly what you want when a 3 tonne caravan is hanging off the back. Full time 4WD splits drive between the axles on bitumen for sure-footed wet-weather grip, and you can call up 4H or 4L when the road turns to dirt or sand.
Tow-Haul mode sharpens shift logic and brings in engine braking on the long descents, so the brakes aren’t doing all the work when going downhill.
Kitted for Touring with a Hitch Ready to Go
Both factory option packs are fitted to this Everest. The Touring Pack adds a tow hitch with integrated electric trailer brake controller, a 360° camera and Pro Trailer Backup Assist. Hook up a caravan or box trailer up to 3,500 kg braked and the wiring is already there for you. No aftermarket brake controller bolted under the dash, no scrambling for adapters at pick-up.
The Premium Pack covers the long drive comfort: Matrix LED headlights for night driving on unlit country roads, a head-up display so the speedo stays in your eyeline, ventilated front seats for hot days and heated second row seats for cold mornings. The 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system handles the soundtrack.
Seven Seats, Three Rows, Room for the Whole Trip
Inside, the Everest Platinum is set up for seven across three rows. The second row splits 60/40 and the third row splits 50/50, so you can carry six people plus a long load, or fold everything flat for a weekend’s worth of luggage. Both rows have their own air-conditioning vents, and the second row gets heated outboard seats as part of the Premium Pack.
Driver tech includes a 12 inch portrait touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adaptive cruise, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring (BLIS) and autonomous emergency braking. Book the 2026 Ford Everest Platinum V6 at tradierentals.com.au and you’ve got one vehicle that handles the family run, the tow tug duties and the offroad weekend without changing keys.
