In November 2006, the Everest underwent a major facelift that saw the whole front and side body panels replaced to make it look more up-to-date.
Changes also included an updated front fascia, new transmission and an improved engine.
In addition, the redesign featured the new 5-speed automatic transmission with BorgWarner transfer case, and the new Active-Shift-on-the-Fly (4x4 only) for the first time.
Despite the massive changes, it retained the U268 project code.
However, this 2007–2015 model is sometimes mistakenly dubbed as the second generation Everest by Ford or the media.

A second facelift was introduced in 2009.
While the changes were less massive than the previous facelift, Everest now sports a less boxy fascia than its predecessor and was similar with the facelifted Ranger.
The changes were achieved by changing the front fender assembly, front hood, front headlights, front grill and front bumper, while it also featured larger 18-inch polished alloy wheels, a redesigned tailgate and new tail lamps.


Another smaller update was introduced in 2012, now sporting a new front grille.
In 2013, the Everest received a final facelift, now featuring a new front bumper similarly looking with several global Ford cars.
