    Conclusion

    2022 Ford Everest

    Obviously, the Toyota Fortuner offers more than the all-new Everest in terms of performance and safety features. However, the fact of the matter is that Everest is new, and fresher with a few extra comforting features. So, we’d say, go test drive both the cars for yourself and check which one fulfils your requirements to a greater degree.
