City
Town driving exposes the Everest's width, height and turning needs. Test the cameras, sensors, tailgate and child-seat access at home. XLT and Limited should be compared by actual safety and comfort equipment rather than trim names, especially if the vehicle will spend most of its life in traffic. The Everest should be driven through a normal weekday rather than judged from a quiet dealership loop. Check visibility, access, parking, climate control, storage and the exact safety equipment fitted to the quoted suv. A short route should include the awkward turn, speed hump, ramp or loading point that normally exposes a vehicle's weak point. If it cannot be tested at the dealership, ask for a second drive or make the question part of the purchase record.
