This article highlights the spaciousness and excellent cargo capacity in detail to help you make the right decision.
Seating Capacity: Room for the Whole Crew
The 2024 Ford Explorer transforms into a mobile home base that's ideal for family excursions or group outings and provides ultimate passenger comfort. The spacious cabin easily accommodates up to seven people. Families can pick between a bench seat or captain's chairs in the second row, fitting their needs. Opting for second-row captain's chairs reduces the capacity to six passengers. This model offers a total passenger volume of 152.7 cubic feet and plenty of room for everyone inside.
Let's take a look at the roomy measurements:
- Headroom: 40.7 inches or 38.9 inches with a moonroof in the front, 40.5 inches in the middle row, and 38.9 inches in the rear.
- Legroom: 43 inches in the front), 39 inches in the middle, and 32.2 inches in the rear.
- Shoulder room: 61.8 inches in the front, 61.9 inches in the middle, and 54.6 inches in the rear.
Comfort Features: Enhancing the Passenger Experience
Ford designed the Explorer with a focus on comfort and convenience to elevate your journey experience, and the inside looks sharp with a spacious moonroof option that lets light flood in, making it feel open and bright. Front passengers enjoy heated and ventilated seats, memory settings for personalized comfort, and optional ActiveX or leather seat covers.
Rear passengers aren't overlooked, as they can enjoy the warmth of heated second-row seats during colder weather. The PowerFold third-row seats can be easily folded with a button, allowing for flexible cargo space.
The spacious interior features a stunning 10.1-inch LCD capacitive portrait touchscreen that integrates seamlessly with the user-friendly Ford SYNC® 3 infotainment system. This setup keeps you connected on the road and enhances your driving experience with features such as an electric vehicle trip planner and GPS navigation. Music fans will appreciate the Bang & Olufsen sound system, which provides premium sound to the vehicle.
This modern midsize SUV mixes new ideas with ease of use. Wireless charging keeps your devices powered up without messy cords, while Ford's Co-Pilot360 keeps an eye on things so that you can drive with less worry. The available rear-seat entertainment system for longer journeys can keep children engaged, making family trips more enjoyable.
Cargo Space: Versatility for Every Adventure
This versatile SUV's storage area adapts to your needs. It's expansive—87.8 cubic feet with the second and third rows of seats folded down—with enough room for bulky items or long trips. With the middle row in place, 47.9 cubic feet are available. Even with all seats full, storage in the rear reaches 18.2 cubic feet, helping you pack groceries, bags, or belongings without squeezing your guests.
Beyond sheer volume, this SUV excels in thoughtful design and boasts intelligent amenities. The back row folds down with a button, while the trunk opens hands-free for your convenience. Hidden spots under the floor keep items safe. Whether for errands or extended journeys, the storage compartment is up to the task.
Maximizing Space: Seating and Cargo Configurations
The Explorer's interior adapts to your life. It offers two seating configurations for the second row: bench seats and captain's chairs. Bench seats, standard on the base model, accommodate three passengers and create a barrier between passengers and cargo with the third row folded. Captain's chairs, available on all trims except the base model, offer individual seating for two with armrests and a more luxurious feel. For family trips or carpools, E-Z Entry second-row seats facilitate quick and easy access for kids and little ones.
The choice between the two depends on your need for third-row access, cargo space vs. passenger comfort, the presence of older children, and budget considerations, as captain's chairs typically cost more. No matter what life throws at you—daily chores, weekend projects, or adventurous experiences—this ride adapts to your requirements.
The Explorer Advantage: Standing Out in the SUV Market
The 2024 Ford Explorer stands out in the crowded SUV segment, mixing roomy interiors with 18.2 cubic feet of storage behind the rear seats. That's more than the Hyundai PALISADE or Dodge Durango, giving you lots of room for your belongings. It fits up to seven people, striking a better balance between comfort and drivability than the Chevrolet Traverse. The Traverse has a bigger maximum cargo space of 98.2 cubic feet, but the Explorer still manages 87.8 cubic feet, which is plenty for most folks.
