Ford Australia has confirmed the 2026 Ford Everest Wildtrak, the third run of its limited-edition seven-seat SUV, priced from $79,990 before on-road costs. Production kicks off in May 2026 with around 1,000 units headed to Australian buyers - the largest allocation of any Wildtrak run to date.
The price is up from $76,950 in 2025 and $73,090 at its 2023 debut, but this version makes a stronger case. For the first time, the Everest Wildtrak includes matrix LED headlights with auto-levelling - previously a Platinum-only item - alongside a panoramic sunroof and power-folding third row that also normally require stepping up to the $83,490 flagship.

All prices exclude on-road costs.
Factory options include prestige paint ($750) and the Premium Towing Pack ($2,500) which adds a tow bar, integrated trailer brake controller and Pro Trailer Backup Assist. Buyers can also swap the standard 20-inch black alloys with orange inserts for 18-inch Asphalt Black wheels with all-terrain tyres at no cost.
Visually, the Wildtrak leans hard into the Ignite Orange theme shared with the updated Ranger Wildtrak, with orange grille accents, orange seat stitching and Wildtrak badging throughout the cabin.
