Both the said models offer improvements inside and out that Filipinos might want to check out.

For the next-gen Ford Ranger, it comes with a more rugged appearance thanks to the integration of the matrix LED headlamps similar to its larger pickup truck sibling, F-150. Climb inside and you will see a new cabin layout, with the new 12-inch infotainment vertical touchscreen as the highlight.

As for the next-gen Ford Everest, the midsize SUV gets a similar face as the new Ranger. But it has redesigned taillights that are connected by a blacked-out piece. Both vehicles are powered by the same 2.0-liter diesel engine. This power unit can come with either a single or bi turbos.
