Not a member of any media group. But there are lots of thai and australia reviews that rank the new tbz very good.

Which of the PPVs have the best handling? ... Would any of them come close to handling of a crossover? ...

Montero sport would easily take this spot. But body-on-frame suvs arent that good to start with.They sit too high and the rear suspension is not that good even if they have mulltilinks . Weight is also an issue.

I think it hits all the right boxes..

Curious lang, how do you judge the brakes?

Is it by "feel" or via a controlled 100 - 0kph stopping distance test?

Please share link/data if you have. TY.

Now that the facelifted TrailBlazer has been released locally, we can expect Everest sales to drop even lower unless they come up with an upgraded version say.. "Wildtrak Version" like the Fortuner TRD or a refreshed 2017 model with minor tweaks like Sync3.

Ford wants to sell more Everest?

Offer significant discounts on the current variants.... That simple market positioning strategy.

People would always go for the endearing tried and tested brands,- Toyota, Mitsubishi, Isuzu - not in that order, though....

Check the link but theres no braking test?

Only describes how they "feel" ei, think how strong the brakes are but no quantitative numbers to back them up.

Brake feel is subjective, some drivers prefer hard pedal with strong initial bite, some prefer dont(soft pedal and biting hard as you progress.) I remember in one formula 1 article, one F1 team uses 2 brake manufacturers. AP racing sa driver 1 nila and brembo for driver 2 since they prefer different brake feel/modulation. Again, too subjective if we only talk about how brakes feel.
