hanks to SVI’s Qualified Vehicle Modifier (QVM) status with Ford, both of these concealed armouring packages for the Everest can be ordered directly from any Blue Oval dealership in South Africa, with the ladder-frame SUV’s standard manufacturer warranty and any selected service or maintenance plan remaining completely intact. In addition, the entire package, including the purchase price of the base vehicle and the cost of the armour selected, can be financed via Ford Credit.
“Considering the ongoing success of our partnership with Ford to provide factory-backed armour across the Ranger line-up – first with the previous-generation bakkie and now with the current model – it made perfect sense to extend our offering to the versatile and highly capable Everest range,” said SVI Business Development Director, Nicol Louw.
SVI’s engineering team drew on both its extensive industry experience and its intricate knowledge of the closely related Ranger to formulate bespoke B4 and B6 discreet armouring solutions for the Everest. The 360-degree B4 package offers protection against handguns (up to .44 Magnum) and thus represents the ideal anti-hijack solution.
When ordered via a Ford dealer, the 360-degree B4 armouring solution for the Ford Everest is priced from R725 684 (excluding VAT), while the B6 package starts at R928 534 (excluding VAT). The list of options includes items such as roof armour, floor armour, a PA system and heavy-duty runflat rings for the tyres. The project build time is set at approximately three months in each case.
