Off-road driving experience

Below are some tips to help you experience and proactively conquer bumpy, winding roads that are difficult to drive.

Nowadays, with the strong development of the SUV and CUV segment, conquering difficult terrains has become easier. In particular, many newly launched cars have multi-purpose designs and advanced technology to support the driver to the maximum. However, with each different terrain, the driver needs to equip himself with basic knowledge to be able to easily master the situation, as in the examples below:

Sand terrain

When traveling on a sandy road, it is important to maintain momentum and high engine rpm.

As Robert Frost said, sometimes the roads less traveled make a difference. But they can be difficult to drive on because they are often unpaved, uneven, and sometimes just covered in sand and gravel.

When driving on a sandy road, it is important to maintain momentum and high engine rpm. If you do not, you can easily get stuck in the sand. The Ford Everest's Terrain Management System, when activated in Sand mode, will help you avoid these difficulties.

muddy terrain

When you have to go through muddy terrain, you need to avoid your wheels from slipping and maintain momentum to avoid getting stuck. Don't let mud and rocks become obstacles that stop you from the journey you want to go.

When you have to go into muddy terrain, you need to avoid letting your wheels slip.

On slippery surfaces like mud and snow, it’s important to keep your vehicle in control to avoid losing traction. Not only does the Everest have the capabilities to drive on snow, mud and grass, it also makes shifting easier. The Everest’s active torque transfer technology ensures that torque is delivered to the wheel where it’s needed, so you can drive with confidence, even in the most slippery conditions.

The terrain is bumpy and potholed.

The potholes on the road are what make a trip all the more memorable – both literally and figuratively – especially when traveling over rough terrain – it is wise to know your vehicle's size, features and most importantly, its ground clearance.

Moving on rough terrain is quite dangerous.

Once you have these three things in mind, find a space to move on the rocks - it can also give you a great experience. If you are driving the Everest, with its 225mm ground clearance, it will give you more confidence when facing the rough roads.
