Interior convenience and cargo space
Getting into the standard third row is simple with the help of a mechanism that can move the second-row seat out of the way with the touch of a button. The Ford Explorer gives families in Liberty and Gladstone 18.2 cubic feet of room behind the third row and 47.9 cubic feet when the third row is folded down. When you drop both rows you'll get a maximum of 87 cubic feet for cargo. A power liftgate is a standard feature and a hands-free power liftgate is an available option that can come in handy when you're tailgating out at Arrowhead. Go Chiefs!

A 10-speed automatic transmission comes standard across the lineup and when it's properly equipped, the new Explorer has a maximum towing capability of up to 5,600 pounds.
