Ford has unveiled the Ford Everest Tremor, the most off-road-ready version of the SUV in Australia. This SUV brings a comprehensive set of changes to make it a behemoth when it comes to off-roading capabilities. For reference, the Everest is the same model that used to be sold in India as the Ford Endeavour before It exited the country. It might also be the model that would help Ford re-enter the Indian market.
