Interior Review of the 2017 Ford Explorer
With three spacious rows, the Explorer can carry up to seven people with considerable legroom and elbowroom. As a family vehicle, the SUV also accommodates children’s car seats with three sets of LATCH connections, and the anchors and tethers are all easy to access in the passenger seating. The seating is both posture-supportive and generously cushioned to stay comfortable on long outings, and the airy cabin promises plenty of room to relax. Cloth upholstery comes standard, while some models feature leather upholstery, heating in the front and second rows, and a heated steering wheel. When you need to bring luggage and other cargo, you can load it all into the Explorer’s 21-cubic-foot storage area. You can also fold the passenger rows to expand that space to 81.7 cubic feet.
