Ford Everest Tremor Locked in for SA

The updated Everest range will be expanded by the addition of a Tremor derivative, set to arrive in the 4th quarter of 2026.

The Ford Everest Tremor is likely to be the most rugged and talented offroad-ready version of Ford’s three-row SUV. The Tremor trim level is purely focused on leaving the tarmac far behind and features a number of upgrades.

These take the form of an offroad suspension with Bilstein dampers and new springs. The wheels are wrapped in General Grabber AT3 all-terrain rubber and thanks to the combination of both the tyres and enhanced suspension, the Ford Everest Tremor boasts an additional 26 mm of ground clearance in comparison to the standard Everest. This derivative also features the Rock Crawl drive mode.

In terms of engine and transmission, the 3.0-litre V6 turbocharged diesel engine is on duty and in this application it makes 184 kW and 600 Nm, and Ford claims a 3.5 ton maximum braked towing capacity.

Visually, you’re going to able to differentiate the Tremor from its lesser Everest siblings thanks to a distinct honeycomb grille design with auxiliary LED lamps, a steel bash plate, heavy-duty side steps, and signature Tremor badging. It will also be available in the unique Command Grey exterior colour that is exclusive to the Tremor series.

Inside, it features Tremor-embossed leather accented seats, ebony-coloured interior accents, and durable all-weather floor mats, the latter being an absolute no-brainer considering the terrain you’ll be travelling.

When is the Ford Everest Tremor coming to South Africa?

The Ford Everest Tremor will be hitting South African showrooms in the 4th quarter of 2026 and we’ll have final pricing and specifications closer to launch.
