The Ford Everest, also known as the Ford Endeavour in the Indian market, is a mid-sized sport utility vehicle (SUV) produced by Ford since 2003 over three generations. The Everest is a five-door SUV variant of the Ford Ranger four-door pickup truck.

Ford Everest (First Generation, Mazda B-Series) 2003- 2006

 The Ford Everest or Endeavour is a midsized SUV version of the Ford Ranger that shares more than 30 percent of its components with the donor pickup truck model. The concept was similar to the Mazda Proceed Marvie and its Ford Raider twin sold in the 1990s based on the previous generation Mazda B-Series. It was a four-door SUV, but in similar fashion to the original Toyota 4Runner of the cargo area having a removable top.

The Everest was sold in Asia, Central America and the Bahamas. The Everest was introduced in March 2003; it was built at the AutoAlliance Thailand plant in Rayong, and as CKD kits in Chengalpattu, India; Zhongli, Taiwan and Hai Duong, Vietnam. In India, the Everest was called the Ford Endeavour.

This Everest had its origins in the Ford Ranger, which was built for the Southeast Asian markets at the Rayong plant. Its underpinnings remained very much those of a pickup truck, while its engine was a Mazda-derived unit used for its low cost, fuel efficiency and emissions, which met the markets' standards. A Hiroshima-based design team developed the Everest/Endeavour to suit developing markets. In 2006, the Everest, the Ford Ranger and Mazda B-Series pickups were replaced with the new Mazda BT-50 and its derivatives. While the Mazda versions introduced the new "BT-50" name, Ford versions continued under the names "Ranger" for pickups and "Everest" for wagons.

The Everest came with three-row seating in rear- or four-wheel drive, with either a 2.5-liter diesel or 2.6-liter petrol engine. It rides on a 2,860 mm (112.6 in) wheelbase.

Engines:

• 2.5-liter WLT water-intercooled turbo-diesel, 88 kW (118 hp) and 277 Nm (204 lb·ft)
• 2.6-liter G6E 3-valve petrol, 90 kW (121 hp) and 206 N·m (151 lb·ft)

  Ford Everest (Second Generation, Mazda BT-50) 2006- 2015

   Ford also offers an SUV version of the Ranger, known as the Ford Everest in Asia, Central America, and the Bahamas, and since late 2009 as a 2010 model, in South Africa, where it replaces the Australian-sourced Ford Territory. In India, it is called the Ford Endeavour.

  The second-generation Everest has three rows of seating, and rear- or four-wheel drive. It offers Duratorq diesel engines and two different drivetrains: 4x2 for 2.5-liter 143 hp (107 kW) models, and 4x4 for 3.0-liter 156 hp (116 kW) models. In addition, the redesign featured the new five-speed automatic transmission with a Borg Warner transfer case, and the new Active-Shift-on-the-Fly (4x4 only) for the first time.

  In the United States, Ford had planned to name an extended-length version of the Ford Expedition the Everest in 2006 as a replacement for the Ford Excursion, but changed at the last minute and decided to rename it the Expedition EL.

  In mid-2009, the Everest received a facelift in Southeast Asia, in line with the Ranger's recent update. This facelifted 2009 edition of the Ford Everest continues to be available with either a 2.5-liter turbodiesel with 143 PS or a 3.0-liter turbodiesel with 156 PS.

  Also, a model for east Africa has a 2.5-liter turbodiesel with only 107 PS (80 KW), torque 268/2000. In Singapore, the Everest is used by Singapore Guards as a Protected Light Utility Vehicle.

  A third facelifted model of the Everest was unveiled at the Manila International Auto Show in April 2013. On 29 April 2014, the third facelift Ford Endeavour was launched in India. This Endeavour features a touch-sensitive SATNAV entertainment system with Navigation Bluetooth audio control and reverse parking camera. Its manual variant comes with a 2.5-liter Duratorq TDCi paired to a five-speed manual transmission.

Ford Everest (Third Generation, Ford Ranger) 2015- Present

Ford revealed the concept for the next-generation Ford Everest in August 2013. The Everest SUV features Kinetic Design cues similar to the EcoSport, Kuga/Escape, and Edge. The vehicle is offered in both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, mated either to the 2.2-L or 3.2-L Duratorq, depending on the market. Presently, no plans exist to offer the Everest outside of the Asia-Pacific and South African markets; in North America, the Everest overlaps with the Explorer, Flex, and Expedition in terms of size and cost, as well as seating, cargo, and towing capacity; however, in the Philippines, the Everest is sold alongside the Explorer and long wheelbase Expedition. In China, the Ford Everest is manufactured by Jiangling Motors, at Jiangling's Nanchang factory.
