How Many Seats Does the 2023 Ford Explorer Have?

We will give you a clear picture of what the interior of the 2023 Ford Explorer will be like for you and your family. But before we do that, let’s begin by answering the above question — this excellent SUV has three rows of seating that can comfortably accommodate seven adults or children.

How Is the Seating in the 2023 Ford Explorer Configured?

Every 2023 Ford Explorer will have enough seating for seven people. However, Ford hasn’t configured the inside of every 2023 Explorer in the same way. Each of them will have two front seats, including an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and a four-way manually adjustable passenger’s seat. But you’ll be able to choose how you’d like the seats in your SUV laid out beyond that. In the second row, you can go with the bench seats or the optional captain’s seats. In the third row, you can go with the manually folding bench seats or the power-folding ones.

You’ll also be able to decide which type of upholstery you’d like on the interior of your 2023 Ford Explorer. Cloth upholstery comes standard in all three rows of the vehicle. But you’ll be able to upgrade to synthetic or genuine leather upholstery if that’s more to your liking. We’re sure you’ll appreciate having all these options when you’re picking out an SUV.

How Spacious Is the Interior of the 2023 Ford Explorer?

No matter where you and your family and friends choose to sit inside your 2023 Ford Explorer, you’ll all appreciate that every seat in this SUV is comfortable. Almost 150 cubic feet of passenger space gives everyone plenty of room to spread out during family trips. You’ll also have the option to make the second row a bit more comfortable for those sitting there by going with the optional captain’s seats. But even if you don’t do that, the bench seats will still be roomy enough to satisfy those sitting in the back.

The third row in the 2023 Ford Explorer might be a little cramped for someone who is on the taller or heavier side. But it’ll be easy for most people to climb into it thanks to a button that helps move the whole second row out of the way. And once you’re in the third row, you’ll find it’s more spacious than it might initially seem. It’s perfect for those kids and teenagers who might want to get some separation from their other family members.

How Much Cargo Space Does the 2023 Ford Explorer Offer?

The 2023 Ford Explorer is going to provide your family with more than just plenty of passenger space. It’ll also provide you with more than enough cargo space, which will come in handy when you and your family take long road trips outside the Brewster, New York, area in your new SUV. There are about 18 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, but you can bump that up to almost 48 cubic feet of cargo space by simply folding the third row down.

You’ll also have the option to fold the second and third rows down to give yourself almost 88 cubic feet of cargo space. You may not be able to do this while driving your entire family around in the SUV. But it’ll be a great option if you ever use the 2023 Ford Explorer to move to a new home, drive to a family vacation destination, or go shopping for larger items.

What Other Features Make the 2023 Ford Explorer a Great Family Vehicle?

The seating and passenger space that the 2023 Ford Explorer provides will be the first things that convince you that this is an ideal family vehicle. But they’re not the only attributes that make it one of the best SUV options for your household. You’ll also fall in love with many of the other features found in the 2023 Explorer.

For instance, you can benefit from having a standard 8-inch infotainment touchscreen. Even better, you have the option of upgrading to the 10.1-inch vertically oriented touch screen. You’ll also appreciate that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities will come standard in the 2023 Explorer, which can help keep your family entertained on long drives.

And, of course, the standard safety features you get in this vehicle make it even more attractive. Features such as forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and lane-keep assist are all included to keep you safe while driving around the Brewster area or out of town.
