The 2022 Ford Everest is slated to be unveiled later this quarter and it has made a stop in Michigan ahead of its big debut.
Based on the redesigned Ranger, the body-on-frame SUV has been given a rugged makeover that closely echoes the pickup. The similarities instantly stand out as both models have a mesh grille with an open bar that flows into C-shaped headlights. Further below, there’s a wide intake and fog lights that echo those found on the truck.
Moving down the sides, we can see streamlined bodywork and less pronounced wheel arches. The SUV also has a relatively flat roof and bright trim around the greenhouse. While the rear end is heavily disguised, last month’s teaser images revealed the Everest will adopt a modern backside with eye-catching taillights and a more traditional liftgate.

Spy photographers couldn’t get close enough to snap interior pictures, but the cabin will likely echo that of the Ranger. As a result, we can expect a digital instrument cluster and a 10.1- or 12-inch SYNC4 infotainment system with a portrait orientation. They’ll likely be joined by a modern dashboard, minimalist switchgear, and a stubby “short-throw e-shifter.”
Engine options remain unconfirmed, but the Ranger will be offered with a variety of different powertrains including a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder petrol unit. The pickup truck also offers three diesel engines, including a turbo and twin-turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder as well as a 3.0-liter V6.
We’ll learn more about the Everest in the coming weeks, but its stop in Michigan is only temporary as the SUV won’t be sold in the United States. That’s sure to disappoint some people, but the company is apparently working on a new crossover for the American market.
