For all the previous gen everest owners... are Everest parts readily available outside the casa? i'm thinking of getting the new 4x2 titanium everest but i hear horror stories of ford parts are hard to come by. how true is that with everest parts?
Anong tamang offset para sa new everest? +18 ba? Bigla ako nalito, the higher + offset, papasok sya sa fender, pag higher - number, lalabas sta ng fender, tama ban
how's the reliability of ford in general in comparison with japanese brands. i'm very keen on getting the titanium and the only issue that holds me back is the perceived dependability of the brand or rather the lack of it. i will be coming from an 18-year old honda civic which never gave me any major problem.
my second choice would be the new montero sport, but it's a far second for me. i really like the style and features of the everest.
also, i've read someone post that the ride with those 20in rims is a bit bumpy. can other titanium owners please confirm or deny this? thanks in advance po.
I was in the same situation, came from a 2009 FD civic, and then bought a 3.2 titanium with 20" rims. Personally I dont see much of a difference in thenride, if there is -very minimal. As expected kasi SUV with ladder fram ang kinoconsider mo. Then again it was a pleasant surprise na di sya ganun katagtag as I was expecting. Probably because I have previously driven and rode a Montero and Fortuner which should be the more accurate benchmark. Kanya kanya naman talga preference yan.
dati type ko yang BR Tanay kasi ganda sa pic. nung nakita ko na siya at nahawakan inayawan ko kasi may parang canal na malalim dun sa lip. pag naihian ng aso (o lasing) yung gulong mo maiipon dun sa canal. kung hindi man ihi e pag lumusong ka sa putik (as i do during rainy season when i go to my farm) sigurado mapupuno ng mud yung canal na yun at mahirap linisin. malaki yung canal mga 1 inch x 3/4 inch.
ONGOING REVIEW OF TITANIUM 3.2 PREMIUM...
after the first 1000km PM aba what a very pleasant surprise. the "mabigat" feeling of the vehicle is gone. wala na yung parang kakapusin ka sa overtake kasi feeling na so heavy yung car at kulang ang power. no more! lakas ng makina ngayon and the transmission is more responsive. where before i found it hard to get the tranny to downshift ngayon willing na willing na siya to rev up. also di na kapos ang power. there are 5 adults and 2 kids plus a weekend of luggage (wala kami luggage before) and may kasama pa kami na tour guide (so make that 6 adults and 2 kids) but now parang sisiw na mag overtake. so take back that first review i made!
my only guess is that they set the ecu on "tameme" mode during the first 1000km and then set it to full power during the 1000km pm. laki talaga ng difference from before and now. very pleasant surprise talaga! i was overtaking like mad on the mountain road between lingayen and alaminos![]()

Yes. But if you're comparing wheels of different widths medyo complicated din bro.
Ex:
wheel A - 20x9, 0 offset
vs
wheel B - 20x10 wheel, +10 offset
Assuming the lip of wheel A is flush to the fender, wheel B will be slightly flush to the fender, labas ng 2-3mm. This is because the 1" or about 2.2cm difference in wheel width is distributed to the left and right of the wheel, but the centerline or offset of the wheel is pushed inside by 10mm.
And we are not yet talking about the tire sizing. He he
Gets bro?
Btw OT na to. Madaming info sa internet about wheel & tire upgrading, upsizing, correction. ;)
