2007 Ford Explorer Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2008 | 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
the front seat has plenty of leg room and seats hug you see full Ford Explorer 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 |

The front seat seems a bit thin and does require adjustment for comfort after awhile. see full Honda CR-V review |
