How Does the Third-Row Seating Work?
The third-row seat in the 2025 Ford Explorer is engineered for convenience. It folds flat to maximize cargo space up to 46 cubic feet behind the second row seats when not in use and is easy to access, thanks to the Explorer's second-row sliding and folding seats. Depending on the trim, you'll find either a manual fold-flat system or a power-folding option for added ease. With the third row seats up and in use, the Ford Explorer offers up to 16.3 cubic feet of cargo space.
How Much Does the Seating Capacity Increase?
With the third-row seat, the Ford Explorer's seating capacity increases from five passengers to seven passengers when equipped with a standard second-row bench seat. Alternatively, opting for second-row captain's chairs reduces overall seating capacity to six.
Are Premium Materials Available for the Third Row?
Yes, premium materials like leather are available for the third-row seats on higher trims, such as the Limited, ST, and Platinum models. These trims feature luxurious leather upholstery that extends to all seating areas, including the third row. Entry-level trims typically feature durable cloth upholstery for a practical and comfortable experience.
The third-row seating option in the 2025 Ford Explorer exemplifies its commitment to blending practicality with style. Whether you're prioritizing additional passenger space, luxurious materials, or adaptable cargo solutions, the Explorer's third row has you covered for your drives in and around Scottsdale.
