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 |

I needed the 3rd-row seating to keep 3 boys happy in the back seats - this was one of the main motivations for buying this SUV - and because I was so happy with my 97 Explorer. see full Ford Explorer review |

Seat is firm, promotes good posture which makes it comfortable even on 12 hour days behind the wheel. Plenty of headroom for my fedora. see full Ford Expedition review |

Plenty of room for family and pets and whatever else you want to toss in. We thought about the excursion but decided it was way to big and went with expedition. see full Ford Expedition review |
