The Everest BaseCamp is now available at Ford’s dealers in Australia as a 450-unit limited edition model enhanced with several new features.
Based on the Trend 3.2L 4×4 and Turbo 2.0L Bi-Turbo variants, the BaseCamp is available from AU$64,990 (US$47.350) and AU$66,490 (US$48,443) respectively, a AU$2,200 (US$1,603) premium, with Ford claiming the price increase actually represents AU$6,000 (US$4,371) of added value.
Setting it apart from the rest of the family are the ‘BaseCamp’ decals on the front doors, grey painted grille, fender vents, front and rear skid plates and wheels. The Everest BaseCamp is also fitted with black roof-mounted carry bars, snorkel, LED light bar, 76-mm (3-in) diameter black nudge bar, awning and tow bar rated at 3,000 kg (6,614 lbs) for the 3.2-liter engine and 3,100 kg (6,834 lbs) for the bi-turbo offering.
