Explorer Interior Dimensions

Leave no one behind in the roomy, 3-row Ford Explorer. The standard configuration seats up to six people, but you can replace the second-row captain’s chairs with a bench seat if you prefer. Boost your passenger capacity to seven—and still enjoy easy access to the third row!

All three rows of seats can accommodate adults, though taller adults will want to stick with the first two rows. Let’s look at the standard dimensions in detail:

First Row	Second Row	Third Row
Headroom
40.7 inches	40.5 inches	38.9 inches
Legroom
43 inches	39 inches	32.2 inches
Hip Room
59.2 inches	59.1 inches	40.9 inches

The Explorer’s spacious cargo bay can store all the adventure gear you need. Fold the third row flat, and make room for camping gear or a couple of bikes. With both second- and third-row seats down, you’ll have up to 87.8 cubic feet of cargo volume to work with.

In-Ride Technology Features

The redesigned 2020 Ford Explorer adds so much capability to your drive. It comes through in technology most of all, where you’ll find even advanced features come standard.   

Every Explorer uses the SYNC® 3 infotainment system, an intuitive interface that allows touch and voice commands. You can pair your smartphone via Apple CarPlay™ or Android Auto™ and have all your apps just a swipe of the finger away—maps, messages, music, and more!

A vertical 10.1-inch touchscreen is available with the SYNC® 3 system. It works well alongside an optional 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster that can be customized to show the data you need.

Ford Explorer Interior Design

All the modern features in the Ford Explorer are enhanced by an attention to style. The luxurious  Limited trim level does design best with its standard Tri-Diamond perforated leather seats. The accent stitching helps the seats stand out, and they’re available in sporty Ebony or smooth Sandstone.

The Explorer Platinum also offers a twin-panel moonroof to give first- and second-row riders a beautiful view of the skies above. Lean back and watch the clouds billow past overhead!

A small touch that any driver will like is the rotary gear shift dial. Not only does this modern marvel save a bit of space on the center console, but it looks and feels sleek under your hand.
