Ford Explorer: Unmatched Seating and Cargo Capacity for Your Family Adventures

September 18th, 2024 by
The Ford Explorer is a prominent player in the full-size SUV world. It’s exceptionally flexible for families and adventure lovers. Envision a spacious cabin that accommodates up to seven passengers in three rows, with plenty of cargo space to boot. It’s no wonder drivers have favored this model for more than three decades. From school runs to road trips, the interior adapts to your needs.
Versatile Seating Configurations for Every Need
The Ford Explorer adapts to fit your lifestyle with its customizable seating choices. A 35/30/35-split folding bench is standard for the middle section. For a touch of class, pick the optional second-row captain’s chairs for a six-person setup. The rearmost 50/50-split folding seats let you juggle cargo and people as you please.
Your tallest friends and family members won’t feel squeezed, thanks to the Explorer’s ample headroom. You’ll find 140.7 inches in front, 40.5 inches in the middle, and 38.9 inches in the back, complemented by equally impressive legroom. You and your front passenger get 43 inches to stretch out. People in the middle row enjoy 39 inches, while those in the rear have 32.2 inches. Grown-ups and teens will sit comfortably in the first two rows. Kids will claim the back as their own turf.
Some models even throw in power-reclining third-row seats and a clever tip-and-slide second row. This makes getting to the back effortless.
 
 
 
Comfort Features That Enhance Your Travel Experience
 
The Ford Explorer’s cabin is a sanctuary of comfort. It’s crafted to make every trip a joy. Various upholstery options are available, such as cloth or leather.
Settle into the heated, power-adjustable front seats. Your friends in the back can have warm seats too. Available Active Motion massage supports your circulation on long drives.
Climate control reaches new heights in this SUV. You can set three different temps in the vehicle. When it’s nice out, you can open the big glass roof to let in light and fresh air. At night, you can adjust the ambient lighting to make the cabin feel even more inviting.
If you value connectivity in your vehicle, you’ll appreciate our SYNC 4 system, which works great with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. FordPass Connect’s 5G LTE Wi-Fi keeps you online, no matter where you go. Experiencing your favorite music through the Bang & Olufsen speakers will make you wish the ride would never end.
Expansive Cargo Capacity for All Your Adventures
The Explorer truly excels when it comes to accommodating large loads or extended journeys. Boasting impressive versatility, the Ford Explorer’s cargo area adapts to your needs with ease. Behind the back seats, you get 18.2 cubic feet of cargo room. Flip down the last row, and you’ve got 47.9 cubic feet for more sizable loads. Fold down all rear rows, and you’ve got a whopping 87.8 cubic feet. That’s way more than the previous model’s 80.7 cubic feet.
While you can fit four suitcases behind the last row, with all rear seats folded, the Explorer can accommodate 31 bags. With one-touch folding seats for easy configuration changes and a standard power liftgate on every model, the Explorer prioritizes convenience.

Innovative Utility Features for Easy Organization
Ingenious storage solutions abound in the Ford Explorer, elevating its utility factor. The storage floor flips over, giving you a surface ready for any load.
With 10 cup holders throughout the car, every drink has a spot. Door pockets and seat backs provide convenient storage for small items. The center console features a wireless charging pad, perfect for long trips. If you pick captain’s chairs, you can add a console in the second row for more storage.
This SUV combines safety with utility. Hooks in the cargo area keep your bags from spilling on curvy roads. The star of the show is the Cargo Area Management System. This feature has a rubber mat for the cargo floor, a piece you can use on both sides, and a net that hangs like a hammock.
Additionally, the Explorer features adjustable partitions in the rear compartment, allowing you to tailor the storage areas to your specific needs. By configuring these partitions, you can create secure compartments for items such as wine bottles, keeping them safely in place during transport. This kind of attention to detail highlights the Explorer’s focus on making everyday tasks easier and more organized.

How the Ford Explorer Stacks Up
In the competitive SUV landscape, the Ford Explorer stands out as a formidable contender. Its substantial storage space behind the third row surpasses many rivals, making it perfect for active families. The total cargo space isn’t the largest in its category, but it’s enough for most trips. You and your passengers can stretch out in 152.7 cubic feet of room, staying comfy on long drives.
The Chevrolet Traverse LS has a bit more space behind the third row and slightly bigger front seats. The Hyundai Palisade is close, with 18 cubic feet behind the third row and front seats about the same size. But the Ford Explorer wins with its mix of space, comfort, and smart features.
Next to the Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, and Kia Telluride, this vehicle excels with its handy cargo area. Seats that fold with the push of a button and an optional cargo system enhance its flexibility. Whether you’re picking up groceries or going camping for a week, you can manage it all in the Explorer.
