Interior Dimensions

The Ford Explorer features three rows of seats and room for up to seven people. With 152.7 cubic feet of space, there’s plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and get comfortable.

You’ll also find lots of convenient cargo room. The trunk features 18.2 cubic feet of space, while folding seats are available in both the second and third rows.

Interior Design & Amenities

The Ford Explorer offers a choice between a second-row bench seat and a pair of captain’s chairs. While the chairs leave you with seating for six people, they also feature a convenient center aisle. Cloth seats come standard, but leather seats are available as well as a leather-wrapped steering wheel and leather trim on the door panels and dashboard.

For added comfort, power-adjustable front seats are available for both the driver and front passenger. There’s also a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated second-row seats. To brighten things up inside, a large twin-panel moonroof is also available.

Infotainment System

The SYNC® 3 infotainment system comes with a standard 8-inch touchscreen, but a 10.1-inch is also available. With the larger screen, it’ll look like there’s a tablet attached to your dashboard.

Both systems feature a Voice-Activated Navigation System with maps and pinch-to-zoom capability. It’s also compatible with smartphones. You can access your favorite apps through Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ as well as stream music and make hands-free calls via Bluetooth®.

There’s also lots of technology available for the instrument cluster. The available 12.3-inch Digital Productivity Screen is fully customizable. It gives you a stylish space to view your speed, MPG, what song is playing, and the driving mode that you’ve selected.
