WHILE we certainly enjoyed the massive space available to us in the back of the Ford Everest and made the most of it carrying around plenty of large items, the time had come to kit out the cargo space to better suit touring needs. For us this always means carrying a car fridge of some sort, so a suitable mounting system was called for, along with a set-up that would maximise the remaining available space.
Outfitting a wagon for such use isn't as easy as fitting a slide within a service body or ute tub. You are limited not only by the smaller space but also the rear door opening that provides access to your fridge and gear. The shape and height of the Everest's door stops you from fitting a fridge slide or a drop slide on top of a set of drawers, so we chose instead to fit an MSA straight slide on the nearside of the cargo area, and an MSA roller drawer on the other side.
That said, the Everest's rear door opening is squarer and larger than what we had to work with on our previous Isuzu MU-X build, in which we fitted a similar MSA combination.
