OUR NEW VEHICLE BUILD FOR 2024 IS THIS FORD EVEREST AMBIENTE, AND THE FIRST GEAR WE'VE FITTED TO IT IS A YAKIMA LOCKNLOAD ROOF PLATFORM, AWNING AND ACCESSORIES
THE Everest Ambiente is the base model in Ford’s 4x4 wagon line-up, so it really gives us a blank canvas to build it into a capable and comfortable touring 4x4 wagon. Because it’s a wagon, the Everest has less capacity to carry large objects and gear than our previous Ranger ute builds, so a versatile and quality roof rack is a welcome addition.
We’ve opted to fit the 1230 X 2150mm Yakima LockNLoad platform to the Everest, mounted on Yakima’s RuggedLine longitudinal mounting system. With 16 different size platforms in the LockNLoad range, finding the perfect one for the Everest was not a problem, and the RuggedLine mounts not only look the part but provide a stable mounting system for the platform as they run the length of the rack.
