THE learners at Majali TechnicalSchool in Majola Port St Johns vowedthat they would make that area uncon-trollable and close down all the schoolsin the area if the department of educa-tion does not respond to their de-mands

Learners of the school allegedly setfire to the school last Tuesday night(April 12) Onlyone classroom and staffroom is left of the school It is allegedthat they also held hostage an educa-tion official and her delegation whowas at the school to address thelearners

Learners embarked on a violentstrike on Monday after they were dis-satisfiedoveravaguereport-backfrommembers of the schoolrsquos governingbody who visited Bhisho to inquireabout the repairing of school after itwasblownawaybywindonNovember2 2015

It is said that the SGB was unableto give a clear explanation after theyreceived no attention from the depart-ment when they went to complainabout the delay of installing prefab

classrooms at the schoolLearners of the school embarked on

a strike demanding that the depart-ment of education build the prefabs forwhich material was delivered to theschool last November after the schoolswas damaged by wind during a storm

The leader of the learners Mziwe-khaya Qoyi said they are battling be-cause they donrsquot have classrooms andit seems as if the department has dis-carded them because there was no ac-tion to repair the storm damage ldquoWeare studying in roofless classroomswhich compels us to sometimes stay athome when it is raining

ldquoThatrsquos why we decided to embarkon the strike because it seems as if youneed to act before this governmenttake consideration of what you want-ed You have to toyi toyirdquo he said

Qoyi said they have already closedsome schools in the area and they willcontinue to close all the schools in thearea of Majola

The SGB Vice Chairperson Nkosina-thi Majali said they had exhausted alltheir powers as SGB trying to stop

what was happening at the school Butall has been in vain because the de-partment never responded to their ap-peal of adding prefabs to the school

Instead the department deliveredold prefabs from another school andthey did not erect them stating that itneeded the order form to be signed be-fore the contractor can start the jobrdquosaid Majali

He confirmed that they had visitedthe education department in Bhishoseveral times trying to sort this prob-lem out but they had not received anyhelp

SUVrsquos and 4x4s conquering the con-crete jungle climbing the odd pave-ment here and there when parking isat a premium instead of kicking updust and climbing mountains havebecome the norm

Ford has however recentlylaunched its new-look Everest whichhas had a comprehensive revamp in-side and out And the Everest is a 4x4which you can really climb moun-tains with ndash should you wish to instyle

It offers the practicality that onewould get from its Ranger bakkie ori-gins enough seats for seven grown-upsndashyesgrown-ups - and thecomfortsof Fordrsquos latest smart technology

While being built on the platform ofits bakkie brother the Everest hasbeen adapted to such an extent thatone hardly notices its bakkie originsndash both in looks and drive

To make you feel that you are notdriving a bakkie the Everest has itsown rear suspension and off-road set-up

The model range in South Africa of-fers one engine and one gearbox(6-speed automatic) with two spec lev-els ndash the XLT and the top-spec Limit-ed Both are 4x4rsquos

The 32-litre five-cylinder turbodie-sel from the Ranger is used but it hasreceived some efficiency upgrades

Its price could however present abig mountain to climb The Everestwhose main competitor is the newlyupgraded Toyota Fortuner is pricedat R593 900 for the XLT (the model testdriven) and R646 900 for the Limited

The new Toyota Fortunerrsquos 4x4models are priced between R571 400and R633 400

ExteriorThe Everest is based on the chassis

of theRangerbakkie It isabigvehicleand high and if it werenrsquot for the run-ning boards on the side the womenwho so like the high seating positionof these high riding vehicles wouldhavehadadifficult timeof getting ele-gantly into and out of that seating po-sition

The new look is a total revamp andlooks much better than its boxybulky predecessor

InteriorThe Everestrsquos biggest selling point

must be the fact that it is a full seven-seater for adults Two averaged sizedadults will have enough leg and head-room in the backrow

Apart fromthe luxuryof space theEverest also has leather seats andhigh comfort levels in a stylish pack-age

It is one of the most technological-ly advanced SUVs on the market

The dashboard is dominated by themodern-looking Ford Sync 2 infotain-ment system with touchscreen Com-fort features include controls on thesteering wheel for the audioinfotain-ment system

Sync2 recognises voice commandsto control the carrsquos entertainment sys-tem climate control and connectedmobile devices It also boasts an eight-inch touchscreen which is quite easyto navigate ndash even by those such asme who are technologically chal-lenged and leave it up to our childrento connect the phones etc

The interior is cleverlydesigned forpracticality (and keeping all 7 occu-pants happy) with more than 30 stow-age spaces multiple power outlets

It has standard folding second andthird-row seating which offers flexi-ble seatingandcargoarrangements tocater for both passenger demands andcarrying cargo

In the high-spec Everest Limitedthe third-row seats feature a power-fold function a powered tailgate andan optional dual-panel moon roof

FeaturesThe lower spec XLT-model is com-

prehensively packaged with impress-ive features including the innovativenew Terrain Management System

Safety features include seven air-bags driver assist technologies suchas an Electronic Stability Program(ESP) with Roll Stability Controlcruise control as well as rear park as-sist with rear view camera

The XLT has 18-inch alloy wheelsand running boards as standard

The higher spec Limited model hasa few extra premium features such aspower-fold third row seats and pow-ered tailgate plus driver aids such asActive Park Assist Adaptive CruiseControl Auto High Beam ControlBlind Spot Monitoring with CrossTraffic Alert Tyre Pressure Monitor-ing Lane Departure Warning andLane Keep Assist

Active Park Assist on the EverestLimited enables drivers to parallelpark hands-free requiring only accel-erating shifting andbraking fromthedriver

Also fitted are two USB ports an SDcard slot and Aux input plus a total offour 12V sockets

Exterior enhancements on the Lim-ited model include 20-inch alloywheels high intensity discharge(HID) headlamps and LED daytimerunning lights

RideBoth models are powered by the lat-

est-generation 32-litre five-cylinderDuratorq TDCi turbodiesel enginewhich produces 147kW of powermatched to 470Nm of torque

Yes it is big and bulky and it willneverhandlequite like a car (asmorecompact SUVrsquos do) but Ford has donea lot to remove the bakkie feel fromthe Everest

Its suspension is one example ofthis ndash and one could feel that on thespeed humps on my daily commuteIt definitely deals better with thosethan a bakkie does On the open roadis doesnrsquot feel floaty or sluggish at all

And once I got used to its big dimen-sions parking it was actually not sobad

Part of the bakkie feel being takenout of the equation is owing to the six-speed automatic transmission Itshifts smoothly and is actually quiteresponsive to some pressure on thepedal If there is one thing Ihate aboutdriving a bakkie it is that manualshifting of the gears

The transmission features the add-ed benefit of a Sport mode as well asa Manual mode for improved control

Road noise is also minimal thanksto Fordrsquos Active Noise Cancellationtechnology

The 4x4 aspectThe Everest offers an intelligent

four-wheel drive and an advancedTerrain Management System to helpnavigate challenging terrain

This system gives drivers four set-tings - Normal SnowGravelGrassSand and Rock

This alters the vehiclersquos throttle re-sponse transmission intelligentfour-wheel drive system and tractioncontrol as the circumstances require

For extreme off-road environ-ments drivers can manually lock thetransfer case in low-range four-wheeldrive mode for increased control

PriceTheXLT isR593 900 and theLimited

is R646900

ABOVE Protesting learners BELOW The remains of the burned school inPort St Johns PHOTOSSIM MDLEDLE

THE learners at Majali TechnicalSchool in Majola Port St Johns vowedthat they would make that area uncon-trollable and close down all the schoolsin the area if the department of educa-tion does not respond to their de-mands

Learners of the school allegedly setfire to the school last Tuesday night(April 12) Onlyone classroom and staffroom is left of the school It is allegedthat they also held hostage an educa-tion official and her delegation whowas at the school to address thelearners

Learners embarked on a violentstrike on Monday after they were dis-satisfiedoveravaguereport-backfrommembers of the schoolrsquos governingbody who visited Bhisho to inquireabout the repairing of school after itwasblownawaybywindonNovember2 2015

It is said that the SGB was unableto give a clear explanation after theyreceived no attention from the depart-ment when they went to complainabout the delay of installing prefab

classrooms at the schoolLearners of the school embarked on

a strike demanding that the depart-ment of education build the prefabs forwhich material was delivered to theschool last November after the schoolswas damaged by wind during a storm

The leader of the learners Mziwe-khaya Qoyi said they are battling be-cause they donrsquot have classrooms andit seems as if the department has dis-carded them because there was no ac-tion to repair the storm damage ldquoWeare studying in roofless classroomswhich compels us to sometimes stay athome when it is raining

ldquoThatrsquos why we decided to embarkon the strike because it seems as if youneed to act before this governmenttake consideration of what you want-ed You have to toyi toyirdquo he said

Qoyi said they have already closedsome schools in the area and they willcontinue to close all the schools in thearea of Majola

The SGB Vice Chairperson Nkosina-thi Majali said they had exhausted alltheir powers as SGB trying to stop

what was happening at the school Butall has been in vain because the de-partment never responded to their ap-peal of adding prefabs to the school

Instead the department deliveredold prefabs from another school andthey did not erect them stating that itneeded the order form to be signed be-fore the contractor can start the jobrdquosaid Majali

He confirmed that they had visitedthe education department in Bhishoseveral times trying to sort this prob-lem out but they had not received anyhelp

ldquoWe have been trying to stoplearners from embarking on a strikebut now it is out of our handsrdquo he said

Thedepartmentofeducationprovin-cial spokesperson Malibongwe Mtimapromised to investigate the matterldquoLet me find out because I have not re-ceived such a report Then I will comeback to you as soon as I get the reportconcerning the matterrdquo he said Attime of going to print no response hadbeen received from Mtimandash SIMBONGILE MDLEDLE

SUVrsquos and 4x4s conquering the con-crete jungle climbing the odd pave-ment here and there when parking isat a premium instead of kicking updust and climbing mountains havebecome the norm

Ford has however recentlylaunched its new-look Everest whichhas had a comprehensive revamp in-side and out And the Everest is a 4x4which you can really climb moun-tains with ndash should you wish to instyle

It offers the practicality that onewould get from its Ranger bakkie ori-gins enough seats for seven grown-upsndashyesgrown-ups - and thecomfortsof Fordrsquos latest smart technology

While being built on the platform ofits bakkie brother the Everest hasbeen adapted to such an extent thatone hardly notices its bakkie originsndash both in looks and drive

To make you feel that you are notdriving a bakkie the Everest has itsown rear suspension and off-road set-up

The model range in South Africa of-fers one engine and one gearbox(6-speed automatic) with two spec lev-els ndash the XLT and the top-spec Limit-ed Both are 4x4rsquos

The 32-litre five-cylinder turbodie-sel from the Ranger is used but it hasreceived some efficiency upgrades

Its price could however present abig mountain to climb The Everestwhose main competitor is the newlyupgraded Toyota Fortuner is pricedat R593 900 for the XLT (the model testdriven) and R646 900 for the Limited

The new Toyota Fortunerrsquos 4x4models are priced between R571 400and R633 400

ExteriorThe Everest is based on the chassis

of theRangerbakkie It isabigvehicleand high and if it werenrsquot for the run-ning boards on the side the womenwho so like the high seating positionof these high riding vehicles wouldhavehadadifficult timeof getting ele-gantly into and out of that seating po-sition

The new look is a total revamp andlooks much better than its boxybulky predecessor

InteriorThe Everestrsquos biggest selling point

must be the fact that it is a full seven-seater for adults Two averaged sizedadults will have enough leg and head-room in the backrow

Apart fromthe luxuryof space theEverest also has leather seats andhigh comfort levels in a stylish pack-age

It is one of the most technological-ly advanced SUVs on the market

The dashboard is dominated by themodern-looking Ford Sync 2 infotain-ment system with touchscreen Com-fort features include controls on thesteering wheel for the audioinfotain-ment system

Sync2 recognises voice commandsto control the carrsquos entertainment sys-tem climate control and connectedmobile devices It also boasts an eight-inch touchscreen which is quite easyto navigate ndash even by those such asme who are technologically chal-lenged and leave it up to our childrento connect the phones etc

The interior is cleverlydesigned forpracticality (and keeping all 7 occu-pants happy) with more than 30 stow-age spaces multiple power outlets

It has standard folding second andthird-row seating which offers flexi-ble seatingandcargoarrangements tocater for both passenger demands andcarrying cargo

In the high-spec Everest Limitedthe third-row seats feature a power-fold function a powered tailgate andan optional dual-panel moon roof

FeaturesThe lower spec XLT-model is com-

prehensively packaged with impress-ive features including the innovativenew Terrain Management System

Safety features include seven air-bags driver assist technologies suchas an Electronic Stability Program(ESP) with Roll Stability Controlcruise control as well as rear park as-sist with rear view camera

The XLT has 18-inch alloy wheelsand running boards as standard

The higher spec Limited model hasa few extra premium features such aspower-fold third row seats and pow-ered tailgate plus driver aids such asActive Park Assist Adaptive CruiseControl Auto High Beam ControlBlind Spot Monitoring with CrossTraffic Alert Tyre Pressure Monitor-ing Lane Departure Warning andLane Keep Assist

Active Park Assist on the EverestLimited enables drivers to parallelpark hands-free requiring only accel-erating shifting andbraking fromthedriver

Also fitted are two USB ports an SDcard slot and Aux input plus a total offour 12V sockets

Exterior enhancements on the Lim-ited model include 20-inch alloywheels high intensity discharge(HID) headlamps and LED daytimerunning lights

RideBoth models are powered by the lat-

est-generation 32-litre five-cylinderDuratorq TDCi turbodiesel enginewhich produces 147kW of powermatched to 470Nm of torque

Yes it is big and bulky and it willneverhandlequite like a car (asmorecompact SUVrsquos do) but Ford has donea lot to remove the bakkie feel fromthe Everest

Its suspension is one example ofthis ndash and one could feel that on thespeed humps on my daily commuteIt definitely deals better with thosethan a bakkie does On the open roadis doesnrsquot feel floaty or sluggish at all

And once I got used to its big dimen-sions parking it was actually not sobad

Part of the bakkie feel being takenout of the equation is owing to the six-speed automatic transmission Itshifts smoothly and is actually quiteresponsive to some pressure on thepedal If there is one thing Ihate aboutdriving a bakkie it is that manualshifting of the gears

The transmission features the add-ed benefit of a Sport mode as well asa Manual mode for improved control

Road noise is also minimal thanksto Fordrsquos Active Noise Cancellationtechnology

The 4x4 aspectThe Everest offers an intelligent

four-wheel drive and an advancedTerrain Management System to helpnavigate challenging terrain

This system gives drivers four set-tings - Normal SnowGravelGrassSand and Rock

This alters the vehiclersquos throttle re-sponse transmission intelligentfour-wheel drive system and tractioncontrol as the circumstances require

For extreme off-road environ-ments drivers can manually lock thetransfer case in low-range four-wheeldrive mode for increased control

PriceTheXLT isR593 900 and theLimited

is R646900

Learners of the school allegedly setfire to the school last Tuesday night(April 12) Onlyone classroom and staffroom is left of the school It is allegedthat they also held hostage an educa-tion official and her delegation whowas at the school to address thelearners

Learners embarked on a violentstrike on Monday after they were dis-satisfiedoveravaguereport-backfrommembers of the schoolrsquos governingbody who visited Bhisho to inquireabout the repairing of school after itwasblownawaybywindonNovember2 2015

It is said that the SGB was unableto give a clear explanation after theyreceived no attention from the depart-ment when they went to complainabout the delay of installing prefab

classrooms at the schoolLearners of the school embarked on

a strike demanding that the depart-ment of education build the prefabs forwhich material was delivered to theschool last November after the schoolswas damaged by wind during a storm

The leader of the learners Mziwe-khaya Qoyi said they are battling be-cause they donrsquot have classrooms andit seems as if the department has dis-carded them because there was no ac-tion to repair the storm damage ldquoWeare studying in roofless classroomswhich compels us to sometimes stay athome when it is raining

ldquoThatrsquos why we decided to embarkon the strike because it seems as if youneed to act before this governmenttake consideration of what you want-ed You have to toyi toyirdquo he said

Qoyi said they have already closedsome schools in the area and they willcontinue to close all the schools in thearea of Majola

The SGB Vice Chairperson Nkosina-thi Majali said they had exhausted alltheir powers as SGB trying to stop

what was happening at the school Butall has been in vain because the de-partment never responded to their ap-peal of adding prefabs to the school

Instead the department deliveredold prefabs from another school andthey did not erect them stating that itneeded the order form to be signed be-fore the contractor can start the jobrdquosaid Majali

He confirmed that they had visitedthe education department in Bhishoseveral times trying to sort this prob-lem out but they had not received anyhelp

ldquoWe have been trying to stoplearners from embarking on a strikebut now it is out of our handsrdquo he said

Thedepartmentofeducationprovin-cial spokesperson Malibongwe Mtimapromised to investigate the matterldquoLet me find out because I have not re-ceived such a report Then I will comeback to you as soon as I get the reportconcerning the matterrdquo he said Attime of going to print no response hadbeen received from Mtimandash SIMBONGILE MDLEDLE

SUVrsquos and 4x4s conquering the con-crete jungle climbing the odd pave-ment here and there when parking isat a premium instead of kicking updust and climbing mountains havebecome the norm

Ford has however recentlylaunched its new-look Everest whichhas had a comprehensive revamp in-side and out And the Everest is a 4x4which you can really climb moun-tains with ndash should you wish to instyle

It offers the practicality that onewould get from its Ranger bakkie ori-gins enough seats for seven grown-upsndashyesgrown-ups - and thecomfortsof Fordrsquos latest smart technology

While being built on the platform ofits bakkie brother the Everest hasbeen adapted to such an extent thatone hardly notices its bakkie originsndash both in looks and drive

To make you feel that you are notdriving a bakkie the Everest has itsown rear suspension and off-road set-up

The model range in South Africa of-fers one engine and one gearbox(6-speed automatic) with two spec lev-els ndash the XLT and the top-spec Limit-ed Both are 4x4rsquos

The 32-litre five-cylinder turbodie-sel from the Ranger is used but it hasreceived some efficiency upgrades

Its price could however present abig mountain to climb The Everestwhose main competitor is the newlyupgraded Toyota Fortuner is pricedat R593 900 for the XLT (the model testdriven) and R646 900 for the Limited

The new Toyota Fortunerrsquos 4x4models are priced between R571 400and R633 400

ExteriorThe Everest is based on the chassis

of theRangerbakkie It isabigvehicleand high and if it werenrsquot for the run-ning boards on the side the womenwho so like the high seating positionof these high riding vehicles wouldhavehadadifficult timeof getting ele-gantly into and out of that seating po-sition

The new look is a total revamp andlooks much better than its boxybulky predecessor

InteriorThe Everestrsquos biggest selling point

must be the fact that it is a full seven-seater for adults Two averaged sizedadults will have enough leg and head-room in the backrow

Apart fromthe luxuryof space theEverest also has leather seats andhigh comfort levels in a stylish pack-age

It is one of the most technological-ly advanced SUVs on the market

The dashboard is dominated by themodern-looking Ford Sync 2 infotain-ment system with touchscreen Com-fort features include controls on thesteering wheel for the audioinfotain-ment system

Sync2 recognises voice commandsto control the carrsquos entertainment sys-tem climate control and connectedmobile devices It also boasts an eight-inch touchscreen which is quite easyto navigate ndash even by those such asme who are technologically chal-lenged and leave it up to our childrento connect the phones etc

The interior is cleverlydesigned forpracticality (and keeping all 7 occu-pants happy) with more than 30 stow-age spaces multiple power outlets

It has standard folding second andthird-row seating which offers flexi-ble seatingandcargoarrangements tocater for both passenger demands andcarrying cargo

In the high-spec Everest Limitedthe third-row seats feature a power-fold function a powered tailgate andan optional dual-panel moon roof

FeaturesThe lower spec XLT-model is com-

prehensively packaged with impress-ive features including the innovativenew Terrain Management System

Safety features include seven air-bags driver assist technologies suchas an Electronic Stability Program(ESP) with Roll Stability Controlcruise control as well as rear park as-sist with rear view camera

The XLT has 18-inch alloy wheelsand running boards as standard

The higher spec Limited model hasa few extra premium features such aspower-fold third row seats and pow-ered tailgate plus driver aids such asActive Park Assist Adaptive CruiseControl Auto High Beam ControlBlind Spot Monitoring with CrossTraffic Alert Tyre Pressure Monitor-ing Lane Departure Warning andLane Keep Assist

Active Park Assist on the EverestLimited enables drivers to parallelpark hands-free requiring only accel-erating shifting andbraking fromthedriver

Also fitted are two USB ports an SDcard slot and Aux input plus a total offour 12V sockets

Exterior enhancements on the Lim-ited model include 20-inch alloywheels high intensity discharge(HID) headlamps and LED daytimerunning lights

RideBoth models are powered by the lat-

est-generation 32-litre five-cylinderDuratorq TDCi turbodiesel enginewhich produces 147kW of powermatched to 470Nm of torque

Yes it is big and bulky and it willneverhandlequite like a car (asmorecompact SUVrsquos do) but Ford has donea lot to remove the bakkie feel fromthe Everest

Its suspension is one example ofthis ndash and one could feel that on thespeed humps on my daily commuteIt definitely deals better with thosethan a bakkie does On the open roadis doesnrsquot feel floaty or sluggish at all

And once I got used to its big dimen-sions parking it was actually not sobad

Part of the bakkie feel being takenout of the equation is owing to the six-speed automatic transmission Itshifts smoothly and is actually quiteresponsive to some pressure on thepedal If there is one thing Ihate aboutdriving a bakkie it is that manualshifting of the gears

The transmission features the add-ed benefit of a Sport mode as well asa Manual mode for improved control

Road noise is also minimal thanksto Fordrsquos Active Noise Cancellationtechnology

The 4x4 aspectThe Everest offers an intelligent

four-wheel drive and an advancedTerrain Management System to helpnavigate challenging terrain

This system gives drivers four set-tings - Normal SnowGravelGrassSand and Rock

This alters the vehiclersquos throttle re-sponse transmission intelligentfour-wheel drive system and tractioncontrol as the circumstances require

For extreme off-road environ-ments drivers can manually lock thetransfer case in low-range four-wheeldrive mode for increased control

PriceTheXLT isR593 900 and theLimited

is R646900

SUVrsquos and 4x4s conquering the con-crete jungle climbing the odd pave-ment here and there when parking isat a premium instead of kicking updust and climbing mountains havebecome the norm

Ford has however recentlylaunched its new-look Everest whichhas had a comprehensive revamp in-side and out And the Everest is a 4x4which you can really climb moun-tains with ndash should you wish to instyle

It offers the practicality that onewould get from its Ranger bakkie ori-gins enough seats for seven grown-upsndashyesgrown-ups - and thecomfortsof Fordrsquos latest smart technology

While being built on the platform ofits bakkie brother the Everest hasbeen adapted to such an extent thatone hardly notices its bakkie originsndash both in looks and drive

To make you feel that you are notdriving a bakkie the Everest has itsown rear suspension and off-road set-up

The model range in South Africa of-fers one engine and one gearbox(6-speed automatic) with two spec lev-els ndash the XLT and the top-spec Limit-ed Both are 4x4rsquos

The 32-litre five-cylinder turbodie-sel from the Ranger is used but it hasreceived some efficiency upgrades

Its price could however present abig mountain to climb The Everestwhose main competitor is the newlyupgraded Toyota Fortuner is pricedat R593 900 for the XLT (the model testdriven) and R646 900 for the Limited

The new Toyota Fortunerrsquos 4x4models are priced between R571 400and R633 400

ExteriorThe Everest is based on the chassis

of theRangerbakkie It isabigvehicleand high and if it werenrsquot for the run-ning boards on the side the womenwho so like the high seating positionof these high riding vehicles wouldhavehadadifficult timeof getting ele-gantly into and out of that seating po-sition

The new look is a total revamp andlooks much better than its boxybulky predecessor

InteriorThe Everestrsquos biggest selling point

must be the fact that it is a full seven-seater for adults Two averaged sizedadults will have enough leg and head-room in the backrow

Apart fromthe luxuryof space theEverest also has leather seats andhigh comfort levels in a stylish pack-age

It is one of the most technological-ly advanced SUVs on the market

The dashboard is dominated by themodern-looking Ford Sync 2 infotain-ment system with touchscreen Com-fort features include controls on thesteering wheel for the audioinfotain-ment system

Sync2 recognises voice commandsto control the carrsquos entertainment sys-tem climate control and connectedmobile devices It also boasts an eight-inch touchscreen which is quite easyto navigate ndash even by those such asme who are technologically chal-lenged and leave it up to our childrento connect the phones etc

The interior is cleverlydesigned forpracticality (and keeping all 7 occu-pants happy) with more than 30 stow-age spaces multiple power outlets

It has standard folding second andthird-row seating which offers flexi-ble seatingandcargoarrangements tocater for both passenger demands andcarrying cargo

In the high-spec Everest Limitedthe third-row seats feature a power-fold function a powered tailgate andan optional dual-panel moon roof

FeaturesThe lower spec XLT-model is com-

prehensively packaged with impress-ive features including the innovativenew Terrain Management System

Safety features include seven air-bags driver assist technologies suchas an Electronic Stability Program(ESP) with Roll Stability Controlcruise control as well as rear park as-sist with rear view camera

The XLT has 18-inch alloy wheelsand running boards as standard

The higher spec Limited model hasa few extra premium features such aspower-fold third row seats and pow-ered tailgate plus driver aids such asActive Park Assist Adaptive CruiseControl Auto High Beam ControlBlind Spot Monitoring with CrossTraffic Alert Tyre Pressure Monitor-ing Lane Departure Warning andLane Keep Assist

Active Park Assist on the EverestLimited enables drivers to parallelpark hands-free requiring only accel-erating shifting andbraking fromthedriver

Also fitted are two USB ports an SDcard slot and Aux input plus a total offour 12V sockets

Exterior enhancements on the Lim-ited model include 20-inch alloywheels high intensity discharge(HID) headlamps and LED daytimerunning lights

RideBoth models are powered by the lat-

est-generation 32-litre five-cylinderDuratorq TDCi turbodiesel enginewhich produces 147kW of powermatched to 470Nm of torque

Yes it is big and bulky and it willneverhandlequite like a car (asmorecompact SUVrsquos do) but Ford has donea lot to remove the bakkie feel fromthe Everest

Its suspension is one example ofthis ndash and one could feel that on thespeed humps on my daily commuteIt definitely deals better with thosethan a bakkie does On the open roadis doesnrsquot feel floaty or sluggish at all

And once I got used to its big dimen-sions parking it was actually not sobad

Part of the bakkie feel being takenout of the equation is owing to the six-speed automatic transmission Itshifts smoothly and is actually quiteresponsive to some pressure on thepedal If there is one thing Ihate aboutdriving a bakkie it is that manualshifting of the gears

The transmission features the add-ed benefit of a Sport mode as well asa Manual mode for improved control

Road noise is also minimal thanksto Fordrsquos Active Noise Cancellationtechnology

The 4x4 aspectThe Everest offers an intelligent

four-wheel drive and an advancedTerrain Management System to helpnavigate challenging terrain

This system gives drivers four set-tings - Normal SnowGravelGrassSand and Rock

This alters the vehiclersquos throttle re-sponse transmission intelligentfour-wheel drive system and tractioncontrol as the circumstances require

For extreme off-road environ-ments drivers can manually lock thetransfer case in low-range four-wheeldrive mode for increased control

PriceTheXLT isR593 900 and theLimited

is R646900

SUVrsquos and 4x4s conquering the con-crete jungle climbing the odd pave-ment here and there when parking isat a premium instead of kicking updust and climbing mountains havebecome the norm

Ford has however recentlylaunched its new-look Everest whichhas had a comprehensive revamp in-side and out And the Everest is a 4x4which you can really climb moun-tains with ndash should you wish to instyle

It offers the practicality that onewould get from its Ranger bakkie ori-gins enough seats for seven grown-upsndashyesgrown-ups - and thecomfortsof Fordrsquos latest smart technology

While being built on the platform ofits bakkie brother the Everest hasbeen adapted to such an extent thatone hardly notices its bakkie originsndash both in looks and drive

To make you feel that you are notdriving a bakkie the Everest has itsown rear suspension and off-road set-up

The model range in South Africa of-fers one engine and one gearbox(6-speed automatic) with two spec lev-els ndash the XLT and the top-spec Limit-ed Both are 4x4rsquos

The 32-litre five-cylinder turbodie-sel from the Ranger is used but it hasreceived some efficiency upgrades

Its price could however present abig mountain to climb The Everestwhose main competitor is the newlyupgraded Toyota Fortuner is pricedat R593 900 for the XLT (the model testdriven) and R646 900 for the Limited

The new Toyota Fortunerrsquos 4x4models are priced between R571 400and R633 400

ExteriorThe Everest is based on the chassis

of theRangerbakkie It isabigvehicleand high and if it werenrsquot for the run-ning boards on the side the womenwho so like the high seating positionof these high riding vehicles wouldhavehadadifficult timeof getting ele-gantly into and out of that seating po-sition

The new look is a total revamp andlooks much better than its boxybulky predecessor

InteriorThe Everestrsquos biggest selling point

must be the fact that it is a full seven-seater for adults Two averaged sizedadults will have enough leg and head-room in the backrow

Apart fromthe luxuryof space theEverest also has leather seats andhigh comfort levels in a stylish pack-age

It is one of the most technological-ly advanced SUVs on the market

The dashboard is dominated by themodern-looking Ford Sync 2 infotain-ment system with touchscreen Com-fort features include controls on thesteering wheel for the audioinfotain-ment system

Sync2 recognises voice commandsto control the carrsquos entertainment sys-tem climate control and connectedmobile devices It also boasts an eight-inch touchscreen which is quite easyto navigate ndash even by those such asme who are technologically chal-lenged and leave it up to our childrento connect the phones etc

The interior is cleverlydesigned forpracticality (and keeping all 7 occu-pants happy) with more than 30 stow-age spaces multiple power outlets

It has standard folding second andthird-row seating which offers flexi-ble seatingandcargoarrangements tocater for both passenger demands andcarrying cargo

In the high-spec Everest Limitedthe third-row seats feature a power-fold function a powered tailgate andan optional dual-panel moon roof

FeaturesThe lower spec XLT-model is com-

prehensively packaged with impress-ive features including the innovativenew Terrain Management System

Safety features include seven air-bags driver assist technologies suchas an Electronic Stability Program(ESP) with Roll Stability Controlcruise control as well as rear park as-sist with rear view camera

The XLT has 18-inch alloy wheelsand running boards as standard

The higher spec Limited model hasa few extra premium features such aspower-fold third row seats and pow-ered tailgate plus driver aids such asActive Park Assist Adaptive CruiseControl Auto High Beam ControlBlind Spot Monitoring with CrossTraffic Alert Tyre Pressure Monitor-ing Lane Departure Warning andLane Keep Assist

Active Park Assist on the EverestLimited enables drivers to parallelpark hands-free requiring only accel-erating shifting andbraking fromthedriver

Also fitted are two USB ports an SDcard slot and Aux input plus a total offour 12V sockets

Exterior enhancements on the Lim-ited model include 20-inch alloywheels high intensity discharge(HID) headlamps and LED daytimerunning lights

RideBoth models are powered by the lat-

est-generation 32-litre five-cylinderDuratorq TDCi turbodiesel enginewhich produces 147kW of powermatched to 470Nm of torque

Yes it is big and bulky and it willneverhandlequite like a car (asmorecompact SUVrsquos do) but Ford has donea lot to remove the bakkie feel fromthe Everest

Its suspension is one example ofthis ndash and one could feel that on thespeed humps on my daily commuteIt definitely deals better with thosethan a bakkie does On the open roadis doesnrsquot feel floaty or sluggish at all

And once I got used to its big dimen-sions parking it was actually not sobad

Part of the bakkie feel being takenout of the equation is owing to the six-speed automatic transmission Itshifts smoothly and is actually quiteresponsive to some pressure on thepedal If there is one thing Ihate aboutdriving a bakkie it is that manualshifting of the gears

The transmission features the add-ed benefit of a Sport mode as well asa Manual mode for improved control

Road noise is also minimal thanksto Fordrsquos Active Noise Cancellationtechnology

The 4x4 aspectThe Everest offers an intelligent

four-wheel drive and an advancedTerrain Management System to helpnavigate challenging terrain

This system gives drivers four set-tings - Normal SnowGravelGrassSand and Rock

This alters the vehiclersquos throttle re-sponse transmission intelligentfour-wheel drive system and tractioncontrol as the circumstances require

For extreme off-road environ-ments drivers can manually lock thetransfer case in low-range four-wheeldrive mode for increased control

PriceTheXLT isR593 900 and theLimited

is R646900

SUVrsquos and 4x4s conquering the con-crete jungle climbing the odd pave-ment here and there when parking isat a premium instead of kicking updust and climbing mountains havebecome the norm

Ford has however recentlylaunched its new-look Everest whichhas had a comprehensive revamp in-side and out And the Everest is a 4x4which you can really climb moun-tains with ndash should you wish to instyle

It offers the practicality that onewould get from its Ranger bakkie ori-gins enough seats for seven grown-upsndashyesgrown-ups - and thecomfortsof Fordrsquos latest smart technology

While being built on the platform ofits bakkie brother the Everest hasbeen adapted to such an extent thatone hardly notices its bakkie originsndash both in looks and drive

To make you feel that you are notdriving a bakkie the Everest has itsown rear suspension and off-road set-up

The model range in South Africa of-fers one engine and one gearbox(6-speed automatic) with two spec lev-els ndash the XLT and the top-spec Limit-ed Both are 4x4rsquos

The 32-litre five-cylinder turbodie-sel from the Ranger is used but it hasreceived some efficiency upgrades

Its price could however present abig mountain to climb The Everestwhose main competitor is the newlyupgraded Toyota Fortuner is pricedat R593 900 for the XLT (the model testdriven) and R646 900 for the Limited

The new Toyota Fortunerrsquos 4x4models are priced between R571 400and R633 400

ExteriorThe Everest is based on the chassis

of theRangerbakkie It isabigvehicleand high and if it werenrsquot for the run-ning boards on the side the womenwho so like the high seating positionof these high riding vehicles wouldhavehadadifficult timeof getting ele-gantly into and out of that seating po-sition

The new look is a total revamp andlooks much better than its boxybulky predecessor

InteriorThe Everestrsquos biggest selling point

must be the fact that it is a full seven-seater for adults Two averaged sizedadults will have enough leg and head-room in the backrow

Apart fromthe luxuryof space theEverest also has leather seats andhigh comfort levels in a stylish pack-age

It is one of the most technological-ly advanced SUVs on the market

The dashboard is dominated by themodern-looking Ford Sync 2 infotain-ment system with touchscreen Com-fort features include controls on thesteering wheel for the audioinfotain-ment system

Sync2 recognises voice commandsto control the carrsquos entertainment sys-tem climate control and connectedmobile devices It also boasts an eight-inch touchscreen which is quite easyto navigate ndash even by those such asme who are technologically chal-lenged and leave it up to our childrento connect the phones etc

The interior is cleverlydesigned forpracticality (and keeping all 7 occu-pants happy) with more than 30 stow-age spaces multiple power outlets

It has standard folding second andthird-row seating which offers flexi-ble seatingandcargoarrangements tocater for both passenger demands andcarrying cargo

In the high-spec Everest Limitedthe third-row seats feature a power-fold function a powered tailgate andan optional dual-panel moon roof

FeaturesThe lower spec XLT-model is com-

prehensively packaged with impress-ive features including the innovativenew Terrain Management System

Safety features include seven air-bags driver assist technologies suchas an Electronic Stability Program(ESP) with Roll Stability Controlcruise control as well as rear park as-sist with rear view camera

The XLT has 18-inch alloy wheelsand running boards as standard

Exterior enhancements on the Lim-ited model include 20-inch alloywheels high intensity discharge(HID) headlamps and LED daytimerunning lights

RideBoth models are powered by the lat-

est-generation 32-litre five-cylinderDuratorq TDCi turbodiesel enginewhich produces 147kW of powermatched to 470Nm of torque

Yes it is big and bulky and it willneverhandlequite like a car (asmorecompact SUVrsquos do) but Ford has donea lot to remove the bakkie feel fromthe Everest

Its suspension is one example ofthis ndash and one could feel that on thespeed humps on my daily commuteIt definitely deals better with thosethan a bakkie does On the open roadis doesnrsquot feel floaty or sluggish at all

And once I got used to its big dimen-sions parking it was actually not sobad

Part of the bakkie feel being takenout of the equation is owing to the six-speed automatic transmission Itshifts smoothly and is actually quiteresponsive to some pressure on thepedal If there is one thing Ihate aboutdriving a bakkie it is that manualshifting of the gears

The transmission features the add-ed benefit of a Sport mode as well asa Manual mode for improved control

Road noise is also minimal thanksto Fordrsquos Active Noise Cancellationtechnology

The 4x4 aspectThe Everest offers an intelligent

four-wheel drive and an advancedTerrain Management System to helpnavigate challenging terrain

This system gives drivers four set-tings - Normal SnowGravelGrassSand and Rock

This alters the vehiclersquos throttle re-sponse transmission intelligentfour-wheel drive system and tractioncontrol as the circumstances require

For extreme off-road environ-ments drivers can manually lock thetransfer case in low-range four-wheeldrive mode for increased control
