The Next-Generation Ford Everest embodies a new standard for luxury and sophistication while offering enhanced capability. Ford South Africa is now breaking new ground by expanding the range, a move that we believe our valued customers here at Ford Durban South will appreciate.

Although the new addition of the Everest Wildtrak is of particular interest, it’s still slotting in below the Everest Platinum but sharing the same 184kW 3.0L V6 turbodiesel engine and permanent four-wheel drive system as the range-topping model.

Our valued customers at Ford Durban South can pre-order the Everest Wildtrak in a minimum of 5colours:

• Meteor Grey
• Sedona Orange
• Snow Flake White Pearl
• Lux Yellow
• Artic White
• Aluminium Metallic
• Absolute Black

Everest Wildtrak Bold Detail

In keeping with its exclusive status, ‘WILDTRAK’ lettering is raised on the leading edge of the bonnet, mirror caps, and rear bumper, with the WILDTRAK and 4x4 detail on the rear tailgate to give off that sporty flair.

Interior

On the eight-way power-adjustable front seats, you will find the Wildtrak logo on the leather part of the dashboard, door trims, steering wheel, and gear lever. A dark roof lining and the dual panel powered Moon Roof further enhance the upmarket ambience.

Prepare Your Ford For Winter. Don't let Old Man Winter put the brakes on your driving escapades! Glide through this groovy checklist to avoid frigid surprises like non-starters, icy doors and windows, frozen engines, and slip n' slide accidents. Oh, and don't forget our CMH Ford Randburg super-cool pre-winter vehicle tune-up special - be the snow queen or king as you tackle whatever Frosty throws your way!

Check Your Tyres

Alright folks, first things first - give your tires a good ol' look-see! You see, worn-out tires and frosty roads make for a slippery dance that you really don't wanna tango with. Are increases in stopping distance? Yikes! So, do yourself a favour and grab yourself one of those snazzy, budget-friendly tire tread depth gauges to check the grooves on your rubber road buddies. Safety first, am I right?

Examine Your Battery

Next, examine your battery. Avoid getting stuck due to a dead battery by checking its condition with a computerized battery tester. This will assess voltage, internal resistance, and conductance - providing a comprehensive evaluation of your battery, starter, and charging system. Oh, you'll absolutely love this! Grab a tester that's perfect for conventional lead-acid batteries, gel batteries, and even those fancy absorbed glass mat (AGM) styles. The best part? You can use it on your motorcycle and become the hero your lawn mower always needed! Or simply visit our CMH Ford Randburg Parts store to buy a brand-new one.

Lubricate Your Windows

Ensure cold weather doesn't hinder your car windows. Unlubricated windows may become stuck and damage the entire system. Save yourself costly repairs by lubricating the window tracks with spray or dry Teflon spray lubricant. Before you lube up those window tracks, make sure the window's lowered first! Give your front and back tracks some love, then work that window in a few open-and-shut dance moves for a smooth, even spread. Once you're done, grab that glass cleaner and wipe away the evidence like it never even happened. Or simply roll in our CMH Ford Randburg Parts Store for supplies. Wink wink!

Change Your Cabin Filter

Don't neglect your car's cabin air filter! A worn-out filter can cause stuffy, overheated rides and impact your budget. Keep blower motors efficient and passengers comfortable by replacing the old filter with a new one from any auto parts store. Be sure to follow airflow directions when installing it. Visit our CMH Ford Randburg Service workshop for more.

Check If Your Heater is Working

There's nothing more delightfully chilly than hopping into your car on a freezing winter morning, only to discover that your car heater has decided to give you the cold shoulder - literally. It's as if your car heater is trying to win the "I'm not hot enough" award.

Fear not, however, because should your little car heater decide it doesn't want to play nice, you're in luck! Believe it or not, automobile heating systems haven't really evolved much since MC Hammer's parachute pants were all the rage. So, even though other parts of your car might be wrapped in a modern mystery, heating systems have kept it old-school cool.

For the ultimate check for your heater, click here with your trembling, frostbitten fingers to book a full Pre-Winter Check at CMH Ford Randburg!

Clean Your Battery Terminals

Lastly, pay attention to battery terminals! Corroded posts and terminals can cause hard-starting issues and a problematic charging system. Clean them by disconnecting cables in order (negative first), brushing terminal posts with a cleaning tool or wire brush, and then wiping away grease and acid residue. Do yourself a favour and give your terminals a good cleaning. Start by disconnecting the negative cable first and then the positive, and clean up the battery terminal posts with a handy cleaning tool or wire brush. Do the same for the cable terminals. Then wipe away grease and acid residue from the battery with a paper towel. Finally, reinstall the positive cable followed by the negative cable. Ta-da! Your ride is ready to take on winter with a smile.

Don't let Jack Frost catch your Ford off-guard! Secure your spot for a pre-winter inspection before Mother Nature unleashes her icy wrath. Give your trusty vehicle the royal treatment with our top-notch Ford warriors at CMH Ford Randburg – ahem, professionals – who are ready to winter-proof your ride in no time. Laugh in the face of frosty mornings, knowing you're geared up to tackle anything winter throws at you!

What is FordPass?

Who would have thought that one day cars will have apps that can connect you to your vehicle, whether inside or outside? Well, the FordPass App now allows for such.

FordPass Connect is a way within a Ford vehicle to connect to the internet and provide you with new utilities. It is an app that customers can download onto their smartphones and has many features, such as Wi-Fi hotspots, traffic updates and more.

What are the benefits of the FordPass App?

Vehicle Status and Remote Vehicle Monitoring, Remote Lock and Unlock Remote Start-and-Stop, Live Traffic Updates, Vehicle Locator, and Vehicle Health Alerts.

Sometimes we forget where we have parked our vehicles, especially in busy places. Well, with FordPass, you can locate the whereabouts of our car. You can also use the app to lock and unlock your Ford vehicle.

Is this app free to use?

Absolutely. It comes at no additional cost because it goes through your phone. Like with some other systems, you will need to subscribe to the service, and there are additional monthly costs. Not with FordPass.

The loyalty program allows the owners to earn points for servicing with dealerships such as Kempster Ford Durban. They are automatically enrolled in the program when they sign up for FordPass through the internet or the app.

How far away will FordPass App work?

FordPass can connect from up to 15 metres away. The FordPass Connect and embedded modem come standard on selected EcoSport, Everest and Ranger models. You can download the FordPass App from the App Store or Google Play Store.

Are fuel prices up again?

Do not stress. CMH Ford Ballito has you covered. Here are 6 tips from the team to help you save more fuel.

Look after your tyres

Tyres are crucial for the motion of the car. However, low tyre pressure may result in a sluggish ride and require more gasoline to get the car running as it should. CMH FORD BALLITO believes properly inflated tyres can save fuel by up to 2%. It might not seem like much, but each drop counts.

Avoid aircon when driving slower

CMH Ford Ballito says to avoid using air conditioning whenever possible and instead open your windows for fresh air. It takes fuel to cool the vehicle, which causes your fuel levels to fall quicker than you'd like.

Drive at a consistent speed over speed bumps

The purpose of speed bumps is to slow you down. So, braking hard and accelerating between them is inefficient in addressing fuel consumption. When driving on roads with speed bumps, CMH Ford Ballito says to keep your speed between 30kmh and 40kmh to avoid injury and save money on gas.

Use higher gears

CMH Ford Ballito advises you against waiting too long to shift into fourth or fifth gear when travelling at higher speeds. You may not accelerate as quickly with an early gear change, but it can save you fuel. Furthermore, it implies you'll be driving somewhat more securely.

Reduce the weight

CMH Ford Ballito says a heavier vehicle consumes more fuel. Unless you need them, remove any unnecessary luggage from the trunk or backseat to alleviate the weight-causing strain.

Slow down to save fuel

CMH Ford Ballito urges you to keep within the speed limit as an added benefit but maintaining a constant speed at 90kmh compared to 120kmh can save you up to 9% while driving on freeways and open roads.

Call us on 0877239278 if you have an inquiry about your fuel consumption, and our team of professionals will be more than happy to assist.

The frequency of changing vehicles often relates to how one best maintains it. There are plenty of tips and tricks to help you along the way, and we at CMH Kempster Ford Durban South can assist with some steps you can take to give your vehicle the best chance of reaching its golden years.

Maintain the battery

Believe it or not, when a vehicle is stationary over a long period, its battery loses power and can cause other issues. Our best advice would be to at least try to drive your vehicle twice a week, especially in winter.

Another option would be to start your vehicle and leave it on for at least 30 minutes every morning.

Change filters regularly

Your car’s oil and air filters become clogged over time, so it is advisable to renew and replace them regularly as part of car servicing. At Ford Durban South, we have genuine affordable parts compatible with proper engine maintenance.

Drive smoothly

Always be mindful and understand how all vehicle controls work to avoid an unpleasant driving experience. Always be vigilant to avoid sudden braking.

Practice smooth gear shifting, using pedals correctly and never rev your engine fully to prolong the lifespan of parts and save on fuel.

Use your air conditioning system correctly

The norm is less aircon usage saves fuel. Be that as it may, not using your air-con regularly can cause a costly gas leak over some time. Also, leaving your windows open while the aircon is on causes your gas to finish quicker.

Avoid having the aircon on when going up a steep hill, as it reduces your speed.

Replace spark plugs and leads

A poorly maintained spark plug wears over time and needs replacing. If it is relatively new and has developed a gap between the electrode and the insulator, it could mean your engine is underperforming. Under such circumstances, you should consult CMH Kempster Ford Durban South.

Check your tyres to ensure proper vehicle maintenance

Regular tyre checks can save your life, no joke. Tyres are your car’s most important feature. Thus, prioritise maintaining the recommended tyre pressure as prescribed in the service book and on the vehicle itself. To save money and fuel, never drive with under-inflated tyres.

Stick to the service schedule

Upon the delivery of your dream car, you receive a service portfolio that will guide you through servicing your vehicle. A service is like a binding health check to ensure that your car runs smoothly and as intended.

Be mindful of service intervals(minor and major). Refer to the service book or manual.
