How many seats are in a Ford Explorer?

The 2018 Ford Explorer comes standard with seven seats over three rows of seating. There is also an option to go with six seats at every trim level, turning the second row of seats into captain's chairs instead of a bench. Explorers made before 2002 came only with two rows of seating, limiting them to five seats.

You can get a new style Explorer to fit 7 people with the 3rd-row seating. If you get 2nd row captains chairs you can only fit 6 but it's a lot easier to get to the 3rd row. I suggest you go test drive and check out the rear cargo room. With the 3rd row in use there ins't a ton of room for cargo back there. Alex
