Ford Reopens Orders for 2026 Everest Wildtrak, a 1,000-Unit Run Priced From $79,990

Overview

• Order books reopened Wednesday for a batch of about 1,000 SUVs priced from $79,990 before on‑road costs.
• Production begins in May 2026 with customer deliveries scheduled for the third quarter.
• Standard kit now includes Matrix LED headlights, a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, and a power‑folding third row borrowed from the Platinum grade.
• Wildtrak‑specific touches include an Ignite Orange hero color, gloss‑black trim and 20‑inch wheels with orange inserts, with no‑cost 18‑inch all‑terrains and options like $750 prestige paint and a $2,500 Premium Towing Pack.
• The MY26.5 overhaul removes the 2.0‑litre bi‑turbo diesel in Australia, leaving the V6 as the key Everest powertrain and positioning Wildtrak between Sport or Tremor and Platinum.
