Ford’s Sturdiest Ranger SUV Introduces a Gasoline V6, But You’ll Require a Passport to Obtain It | Carscoops
The 2026 Everest Tremor makes its debut in Abu Dhabi featuring a twin-turbo V6 engine, significantly enhancing performance compared to its diesel variants in a market-specific launch.
Ford has introduced a new Everest Tremor version tailored for buyers in the Middle East.
The 2.7-liter twin-turbo gasoline V6 engine produces an impressive 350 hp.
This ladder-frame SUV is equipped with Tremor Bilstein suspension and all-terrain tires.
The Ford Everest, the durable SUV counterpart of the Ranger that hasn’t reached the U.S. market, now showcases its most potent version to date. This upgrade brings it closer to the sought-after Everest Raptor, as the latest Tremor trim is now equipped with a gasoline V6 engine.
However, there is a limitation; this variant is restricted to select markets, with Ford confirming its exclusivity to the Middle East.
The 2026 Ford Everest Tremor was unveiled at the Liwa International Festival in Al Dhafra, Abu Dhabi, and retains most of its visual identity.
On the exterior, it resembles the Australian version of the Tremor launched last year, featuring Bilstein suspension, a 26 mm (1-inch) lift, a Rock Crawl mode, and black 17-inch wheels fitted with General Grabber AT3 all-terrain tires.
What Changed Underneath
The significant update is found under the hood. The Middle Eastern model replaces the standard engines with a twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6 EcoBoost, coupled with a 10-speed automatic transmission and a standard four-wheel-drive system.
This engine is not new, as it is already used in the F-150 and powers the U.S.-spec Ranger in XLT and Lariat trims. It also shares a close relationship with the more powerful 3.0-liter V6 used in the Ranger Raptor.
In the Everest Tremor, this twin-turbo V6 produces 350 horsepower (261 kW / 355 PS) and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque, making it the most powerful Everest to date. In comparison, the Australian version’s 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel generates less power at 247 hp (184 kW / 250 PS), though it provides greater torque at 600 Nm (442.5 lb-ft).
According to the company, this configuration boasts “class-leading power and torque,” giving it a competitive advantage over the Everest’s direct rivals.
These competitors include well-known ladder-frame SUVs such as the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and Fortuner, Mitsubishi Montero Sport, Isuzu MU-X, and Nissan X-Terra. In this context, the introduction of the V6 positions the Everest Tremor more favorably, at least on paper.
In addition to the Tremor, the 2026 Everest lineup for the Middle East features the Active, Sport, and Platinum trims. These models incorporate the same updates introduced in their Australian equivalents, a reasonable result since they are all produced on the same assembly line in Thailand.
