What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Ford Explorer
| 2006 Ford Explorer Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Lots of room. Great even in the 3rd rear bench see full Ford Explorer review |

| 2012 | 2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
The back seat is not comfortable and has limited leg room. While the latter may be typical of some convertibles, leg room is less than on previous convertibles I have owned. see full Volkswagen Eos review |
