Max Seating Capacity

The max seating capacity on each of the five available trims of the 2018 Ford Explorer is seven passengers. However, optional bucket seats on the Limited, Sport, or Platinum trims would bring the seating capacity down to six. If you need room for seven, you should skip the bucket seats. However, if six seats are plenty, we recommend the bucket seats for maximum passenger comfort and ease of third row entry. Some trim levels even offer heated bucket seats as an optional feature.

Available Cargo Space

Both the second and third-row seats have the ability to fold flat on the 2018 Ford Explorer making it easy for drivers to adjust the cargo space dimensions based on whether they are hauling passengers or stuff. With the second and third rows folded flat, the 2018 Ford Explorer offers approximately 81.7 cubic feet of space which is plenty of room for hauling bikes, hardware store supplies, small furniture and more. For maximum ease of use, some trims offer available power-folding rear seats that will fold flat with the touch of a button.
