the electronics work as they're designed for. maybe they will fail later, maybe not. but they serve their purpose and they are (still) working well on my unit. i even tinker with them using forscan.

best compromise would be to get the Trend variant. less electronics but you still get the other features that makes you interested in the everest.

buy the product, not the brand. test drive them all and make your decision based on your personal preference, not some other's own preference. otherwise, just ask your friend what he thinks the best SUV he's got and buy the same exact model.

I fancy the looks of the everest. More conventional. Better than the montero, IMO. I also actually like the interior better than the other PPV's. As for my friend, the reason he did not get the everest as I understand it, are "issues", which he did not go into detail, but which are mostly connected to electronics.

As for the "best" out there, I think my friend made it clear when he said, any except the blazer & the everest. So for him, it's the mux, fortuner or montero. He has no opinion on the terra.

Thanks for your input, sir, regarding the Trend variant. Will look at that if/when I go to see the dealer.

Asked my friend again why he did not get the everest. It turns out it was issue of electrical fire which ford is notorious for. He sent me this link.

Why are so many Fords catching fire? — Auto Expert by John Cadogan - save thousands on your next new car!

And in quotes below, highlights are his.

"That’s a total of seven official Ford fire safety recalls - just the fire ones - here in Australia. Only for post-2010 vehicles. The ones we know about, on an honour system that allows carmakers to bullshit and obfuscate as they please - sometimes for months on end, seemingly."

"Well designed cars simply do not catch fire. One or two fire risk recalls is an example of a mainstream carmaker tidying up a few loose ends. Seven different fire recalls covering 58,000 Ford vehicles is a disgracefully unjustifiable advertisement for poor engineering and not giving a **** about the safety of your customers."

His biggest regret is the trailblazer. His advise to me, get any, except the everest and the blazer. He has no comment on the terra, as it's still new, I guess.

3.2L Titanium 2016 sir, well people do have different views in terms of practicality, as long as it does the job and keep your family safe go for the SUV you choose.

Just be like everybody else and buy a toyota hehe

Pero seriously Kami when we were shopping for an SUV before TRAIN, comparing them at our pricepoint, spec by spec, lamang ang everest. Safety features alone sulit na compared to the other brands. Sure marami siyang electronics but thats why you have warranty naman. And sa tagal na nasa market nung everest wala naman nagreklamo na electrical related (so far)

Just wait for the updated engine and tranny before you buy kung hindi naman nagmamadali.

Dumating na daw parts. AT transmission oil pump talaga sira.

Common issue ata ito sa 6r80 transmission. Hmmm. Madami akong nababasa pump failure sa internet pero non everest but 6r80 transmission.

Ano kaya posibleng collateral damage if nasira ang pump?
