Seats are comfortable and the leg room in all three rows is adequate for adults. Seats are easy to put up and down and it will carry a lot of stuff. Seats fold flat a major plus for how I use the car. see full review |

| 2006 | 4dr SUV 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Have driven from Maryland to Florida and back a couple of times, as well as 3-4 hours trips routinely. Seats are comfortable with no backache and don't have to stop every couple of hours due to fatigue. Could drive and be comfortable all day long. see full Ford Explorer review |
