THE WILDTRAK MODEL NAME is popular among Ford buyers, so they’ll be pleased to see it returning to the Everest range for 2026. This limited-run special edition combines rugged Wildtrak DNA with the premium versatility of the Everest, designed for customers seeking an adventurous road presence without compromising on capability or technology. 

Production of the Everest Wildtrak is scheduled to commence in May 2026, with approximately 1000 units destined for the Australian market. 

Bold Design and Wildtrak DNA

The Everest Wildtrak is engineered to stand out. Its athletic exterior features a gloss black ‘H-Bar’ front bumper and a gloss black grille bar accented by signature Ignite Orange “nostrils.” The vehicle sits on striking 20-inch alloy wheels finished in black with Ignite Orange inserts, wrapped in all-season tyres.

For those looking to take their adventures further off the beaten path, a no-cost option is available for 18-inch alloy wheels paired with all-terrain tyres, featuring a unique Asphalt Black finish and Ignite Orange accents. 

Premium Interior and Advanced Technology

Inside, the Everest Wildtrak offers a sophisticated cabin with adventurous flair. The interior is headlined by: 

  • Signature Styling: Leather-accented seats featuring WILDTRAK lettering and contrast Ignite Orange stitching.
  • Premium Comfort: A panoramic roof with a power blind and ambient lighting as standard.
  • Versatility: A power-folding third row for effortless cargo management.
  • Visibility: Matrix LED headlamps with auto-levelling and dynamic bending for superior night-time driving. 

Uncompromising Power and Capability

Under the hood, the Everest Wildtrak is powered by Ford’s proven 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel engine, paired with a sophisticated full-time 4WD system. This combination ensures that whether navigating city streets or exploring rugged terrain, the Wildtrak delivers the performance and confidence Ford customers expect. 

“The Everest Wildtrak enables our customers to boldly conquer their next adventure,” said Ambrose Henderson, Director of Marketing, Ford Australia. “It is designed for those who want to stand out and aspire to an active, youthful lifestyle. We are excited to offer this limited-edition nameplate once again on Everest.”
