Ford Everest vs Toyota LandCruiser Prado
The two serious ladder-frame family tourers. Everest drives better on-road and tows more effortlessly with the V6; Prado answers with the badge, the network, and the strongest remote-area reputation in the country.

Who should pick which
No universal winner — the right answer depends on your situation, so we give you both.
Pick the Everest if…
you tow a van regularly (drive the V6 before deciding anything), want the better daily drive, or the Prado wait and price premium don't sit right.
Pick the LandCruiser Prado if…
remote touring, long-haul durability reputation and resale are the priorities — and you can wear the wait and the four-cylinder price.
Still torn? That's what back-to-back test drives are for — and if neither fits, we'll say so.
It is a two-and-a-half-tonne truck underneath: urban fuel use, parking and tyre costs all reflect that, and the third row is tighter than the exterior size implies.
The boot-floor packaging around the 48V battery is genuinely compromised in seven-seat form, and you pay LandCruiser money for a four-cylinder — badge and resale carry a lot of the price.
Common questions
Is the Prado worth the premium over the Everest?
For badge trust, resale and remote-area support, many buyers say yes. For towing feel and on-road manners, the Everest V6 is the stronger tool for less money. This is the single most back-to-back-test-drive-worthy pair in the market — book both.
