Need the seats down? That brings the Explorer’s cargo space up to an impressive 87.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row.
Seating and Other Comforts
The Explorer is made to be comfortable even with every seat occupied. The Explorer kicks off this comfort with tri-zone climate control, which lets you set three different temperature zones so no one is too hot or cold.
In terms of seating appointments, the Explorer offers several different fabric options depending on trim level, like:
- Cloth
- ActiveX™ seat material
- Tri-Diamond perforated leather
With these higher-level seating options, the front seats also get contour seating. To make it easy for people to pile into the third row, the Explorer has E-Z Entry Second-Row Seating. Second-row captain’s chairs are also available if you prefer six seats to seven.
For the most luxury, the front seats also have available Active Motion® capability. You and your front-seat passenger can stay comfortable on long trips with five massage settings.
Technology
Technology aids your adventures in the Explorer. With a standard infotainment system inside the Explorer, you can play your road trip soundtrack, get directions, and even stay connected on the go. If you’re a big fan of music, the Explorer has an available 14-Speaker B&O® Sound System with 980 watts of pure music power.
Want to stay connected to home? The Ford+Alexa app in your Explorer lets you bring Amazon Alexa with you on the road. With this app, you can:
- Access traffic information
- Shop on Amazon Prime
- Control your smart-home devices
More than one person needs to charge their phone or tablet? That’s no problem with the Explorer’s dual second-row smart-charging USB parts. There are nine different power points with USB, USB Type C, and even regular plug capability.
