The Ford Everest is a popular SUV worldwide. It's known for its rugged design and ability to carry seven people. However, you can't buy one in the United States. Why? Ford already sells SUVs like the Explorer and Bronco here. These fill a similar niche, making the Everest redundant, according to Edmunds [2]. Plus, some believe it wouldn't sell well enough [4].So, what if you want a vehicle like the Everest? Fortunately, there are great alternatives. If you like off-roading, the Toyota 4Runner is a top choice [3]. It's built tough and can handle rough terrain. The Jeep Grand Cherokee L is another option. It offers a mix of comfort and off-road ability [3]. And don't forget the Ford Explorer! It's a comfortable, family-friendly SUV that's readily available [2].Many wonder why Ford doesn't just sell the Everest in the US. Besides the existing competition within Ford's lineup, adapting the Everest to meet US regulations would be expensive [4]. This includes safety and emissions standards. It's simply not cost-effective for Ford right now.One interesting version of the Everest is the Tremor model. It's even more off-road focused. Road & Track points out it would rival the Toyota Land Cruiser and 4Runner [3]. Sadly, it's not coming to the US either [5].The Everest's absence in the US market highlights the complexities of the global auto industry. Consumer preferences, existing models, and regulatory hurdles all play a role. While the Everest thrives in other markets, Americans have plenty of other capable SUVs to choose from. Will Ford ever bring the Everest to the US? Only time will tell. Perhaps changing market conditions or consumer demand could make it a possibility in the future.
