What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUT 210-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
So bad I can't drive it much more than the 4 miles to and from work. The front seats are so hard that the first couple times I drove it I couldn't figure out why my feet were so cold. Because the circulation below my knees was being cutoff. I have tried extra cushions for the seat bottom and I have found something that really helps, but on longer drives, combined with the firm ride - bring your Advil. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review

The seating throughout the vehicle is extremely roomy. Adults can fit comfortably in both the second and third row seats. The driver and passenger seats are also extremely comfortable. see full Ford Flex review
