Holla fellas,
I may be a new owner of a 2023 Ford Everest Sport (RWD + 6 speed) soon and wanted to integrate with yall. AFAIK, Everests aren't sold in the USA but I reckon this is still the best place I can be, especially since the folks over at the Australian ford forums decided to blacklist IPs from my region, I guess they take the Australian part of the forum seriously.
If you know of the Everest, you might ask why would I settle for RWD and the 6 speed, rather than the AWD and 10 speed with 40 more horsepower. The AWD spec only comes with an e-shifter (hate em), the 10 speed (10r80) which I'm a little more afraid of reliability wise than the 6 speed (6r80), and honestly I'm probably not going to be doing much offroading. But I still haven't bite the bullet yet, and will be researching more and probably talking to you guys until I do!
Warm Regards!
