The updated Ford Everest gets to remote destinations like the Makgadikgadi salt pans with more power and less fuel. Picture: DENIS DROPPAThe salt pans are isolated from civilisation and the nearest town, Maun, is more than two hours' drive away. The vast pan we’re encamped upon is the size of Belgium, and stretches about 270km south of our little tent village set at the pan’s northern edge.
The upgrades are the same as those recently applied to the Ranger bakkie that this seven-seater SUV is based on, the most important being the introduction of two modern new turbo diesel four-cylinder engines and a new 10-speed automatic gearbox.Our steed for the Botswana expedition is the more powerful 2.0Bi-Turbo, the same engine used in the new Ford Raptor double cab. It wields 157kW and 500Nm and outguns the much larger but older-generation 3.
The Everest’s full-time intelligent all-wheel drive keeps off-roading simple by not requiring the driver to switch between 4x2 and 4x4, but there are different modes — for different conditions such as sand and rocks — that can be selected at the twist of a dial. The minor cosmetic tweak involves a redesigned grille and bumper, a new 20-inch wheel available on the range-topping Everest Limited, and the introduction of a new body colour called diffused silver.

Mayor Masina: I am going nowhere, as R1.9bn tender scandal hots upEkurhuleni Mayor Mzwandile Masina has refuted any wrong-doing in the awarding of the R1.9 billion chemical toilet tender, calling it a smear campaign to force him to resign Of course they never do anything wrong. ANC slogan - deny, deny and deny! Refuted? You mean denied. Ffs. This is beginning to smell fishy - a couple of days ago they said this happened on Gungubele's watch. How has that changed - making him responsible.
