What Ford Launched With the Everest Wolftrak

Ford Australia added the Everest Wolftrak to its 2027 lineup this week. The new trim is a green take on the Ranger-based SUV. It starts at about $50,900, and the Everest tows up to 7,716 pounds with Ford’s tow pack. You cannot buy one in the US.

The Wolftrak replaces the Wildtrak and arrives with a standard tow pack. Ford builds it around two diesels. The 2.0L single-turbo four-cylinder makes 168 hp and 299 lb-ft of torque, and the 3.0L V6 makes 247 hp and 443 lb-ft.

Ford Australia calls the Wolftrak a special edition, and availability depends on dealer stock. Because the trim stays in Australia, this story looks at where Ford’s Ranger-based SUV is heading. It is not a shopping list. Still, the details show what a modern 4×4 offers.

The Everest is not sold in the US, so these picks are complement gear for towing with any rig. A CURT loaded ball mount, a Reese hitch and coupler lock set and a CURT wiring tester suit a 2-inch receiver setup.

Everest Wolftrak Key Facts and Prices

Here are the numbers in one place, with US dollar conversions beside the Australian prices.

Item Details
Market Australia only
2.0L diesel price A$73,000 drive-away, about $50,900
V6 diesel price A$79,990 before on-road costs, about $55,800
2.0L diesel 168 hp, 299 lb-ft, part-time 4WD
3.0L V6 diesel 247 hp, 443 lb-ft, full-time 4WD
Transmission 10-speed automatic

Wheels 20-inch matte black alloys, or 17-inch alloys with all-terrain tires

Ford Australia lists the engines, wheels and tow gear on its Wolftrak page. Australian price lists supply the dollar figures. Also, the two prices are not built the same way. The 2.0L number is drive-away, so it bundles registration and fees, while the V6 number is not.

Everest Wolftrak vs. Everest Wildtrak and Tremor: What Changed

In Ford’s description, the Wildtrak is touring-focused, with Matrix LED headlights, a panoramic roof and a power-fold third row. The Wolftrak drops those items. Instead, it adds a premium towing pack as standard. On the Sport trim, the pack costs A$2,500 (about $1,700) as an option. Ford’s own pitch is simple, since the Wolftrak is for people who want the SUV to look as good as it goes.

The look also changes. Where the Wildtrak carried orange, the Wolftrak carries green. Traction Green is exclusive to this trim in the Everest range. Lime Zest inserts sit in the grille, and Wolftrak lettering runs along the doors and liftgate. Inside, leather-accented seats get green stitching, while the dash and door cards pick up green trim.

Unlike the 2026.5 Wildtrak, which came only with the V6, the Wolftrak comes with both engines. The V6 Wolftrak costs about $55,800, the same as the Everest Tremor. However, the Everest Tremor gets the trail hardware: Bilstein dampers, 17-inch General Grabber AT3 tires and a track about 65 inches wide. In my view, the Tremor is the better pick for trail work. The Wolftrak suits a buyer who tows and wants a bold color.

Everest Wolftrak Engines, Tow Pack and Tires

The 2.0L diesel changed in Ford’s 2026.5 update. It lost its second turbo and also moved from full-time to part-time 4WD. Meanwhile, the V6 stayed the same, with a 10-speed automatic and full-time 4WD.

The tow pack is the Wolftrak’s real selling point. For example, Ford Australia lists a tow bar, an integrated trailer brake controller and Pro Trailer Backup Assist as standard. Blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage and a trailer connection alarm also come with the pack. Ford Australia rates the Everest at up to 7,716 pounds braked with a Ford tow pack, on both engines.

The 4Runner and Land Cruiser, however, both top out at 6,000 pounds, as our Land Cruiser vs 4Runner comparison shows. On paper, the Wolftrak therefore tows 1,716 pounds more. Also, the Ranger Super Duty uses a related 3.0L V6 diesel, and our Ranger Super Duty write-up covers its heavy-duty hardware.

The standard 20-inch matte black wheels wear all-season tires, but Ford offers a no-cost swap to 17-inch alloys with all-terrain tires in the 255/70R17 size. Whatever you drive, the tread-wear terms matter before you buy any all-terrain set, and they are covered in our all-terrain tire warranties compared guide.

What This Means for You

You cannot order an Everest Wolftrak in the US. Ford has made no announcement of a US Everest. The company also keeps other models away from US buyers, such as the Bronco Basecamp pop-top.

Still, the price gives US shoppers a useful marker. At about $50,900, the 2.0L sits between the 4Runner, which starts at $42,270, and the Land Cruiser, which starts at $58,180. Because Australian drive-away pricing includes fees, it does not match a US sticker, so treat the gap as a rough guide. The tow rating is the stronger marker: on paper, the Wolftrak tows 1,716 pounds more than either Toyota. For a US-side look at the same buyers, see 4Runner vs Bronco vs Wrangler.

I have rented a Bronco Badlands more than once for Big Bear camping trips, and the four-door Bronco seats five. However, the Wolftrak seats seven as standard. A tow-ready, seven-seat, Ranger-based Ford SUV is the option I would most like to see in a US showroom.

Ford does not sell the Everest in the US, so this gear is complement kit for trail work in any rig. An ARB tire deflator, a Rhino USA recovery strap and X-BULL traction boards suit all-terrain tires like the optional 17-inch set.

Final Thoughts

The Wolftrak is a smart package for a specific buyer: a family with a camper to tow, a need for seven seats and a soft spot for green paint. Its standard tow gear is the best part. Ford hands you the tow bar, the brake controller and the trailer aids from day one, so nobody sits through a long options list. Sadly, the family in question lives in Australia.

The trade-offs are plain. You lose the Matrix LED headlights, the panoramic roof and the power-fold third row. If you want an Everest for hard trails, the Tremor makes more sense, with its Bilstein dampers and General Grabber AT3 tires.

I have owned five Jeeps, including a Gladiator, and I drive a 2025 Chevy Colorado ZR2 today. Whenever I size up a body-on-frame SUV, I use the same short list: tow gear, tires and honest pricing. By my list, the Wolftrak scores high on tow gear, and the no-cost swap to all-terrain tires helps. Pricing needs a closer look, since the two prices are built differently. I hope Ford gives US buyers a chance to run the same check.
