What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Ford Expedition

2015 Ford Expedition Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2014 0 The driven Limited trim had black heated and cooled front seats. The cooling was necessary in the summertime Texas heat and perfomed well - I turned them on every time I got in the car (unlike the Lexus system, that you can leave on as it is a dial, you have to activate the cooling every single time you restart the car). These thrones were comfortable for a 4 hour drive - there was more room for someone who has more girth than I. Also, adjustable pedals are a great Ford innovation that I wish more manufacturers would include. My wife (who is 11 inches shorter than me) could easily drive this beast comfortably, without sitting too close to the steering wheel. see full Ford Expedition review
2014 0 Both the second and third rows have ample room, with and without kid's car seats, for three across. The third row isn't an afterthought like in other SUVs and even 5'11" adults are happy back there. Additionally, the vents provide adequate AC in 100+ degree heat. There are plenty of easily accessible LATCH anchors if you wish (although seatbelts are generally just as easy and have a higher weight rating with car seats than the LATCH anchors). Most minivans (except the Odyssey) do not have LATCH in the center of the second row - only on the outboard - and only have LATCH in the center of the third row. The Expedition (and Odyssey) is nice because they are flexible where you can put car seats comfortably. see full Ford Expedition review

2011 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2012 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Although the rear captain seats are quite comfortable, I do not like how they roll forward. There is a track in the floor in which the rear seats fold and slide up behind the front seats. All I notice when in the back seat is how extremely difficult it is to clean out the mud and grit and salt (I live in Canada, we use salt on our roads) that gets left behind in the track from passenger footwear. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
2011 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The headrest position is horrible for long trips. Felt like my head was being pushed forward. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
