Three Rows, Right-Sized

The Explorer hits the sweet spot for families who need three rows but not the bulk of a full-size SUV. The third row is there for a carpool or visiting relatives, then folds flat for a hardware run, so one vehicle covers a lot of ground around Paintsville.

It takes the seasons in stride, too. Available 4x4 adds sure footing when a storm slicks US-23, and the manageable size keeps parking and maneuvering easy in town and on the back roads.

Comfort and Tech for the Family

Inside, the Explorer keeps the whole crew settled. The second row is easy to climb into, the seats hold up over a longer drive toward Pikeville, and smart storage keeps the family's odds and ends in check.

The tech does its share. Ford SYNC anchors the dash, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect through the touchscreen, and Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assist technology keeps an extra eye on the family drive.

Explorer vs. a Two-Row Crossover

Set against a two-row crossover, the Explorer wins for growing families. Its third row turns an occasional carpool or a visiting-relatives weekend from a headache into a non-event, and it folds away when you need cargo room, so you gain flexibility without giving up everyday drivability.

A two-row crossover suits smaller households that rarely need extra seats. But if carpools, teams, or guests are part of your life, the Explorer's flexibility is the stronger call.

Flexible seating that folds flat for cargo.
A two-row fits only if you never need extra seats.

Drive an Explorer and a two-row crossover back to back to feel the difference. We can have both ready in one stop.

Picking Your Explorer Trim

Choosing an Explorer comes down to comfort, drivetrain, and style. Higher trims add richer materials and upgraded tech, available 4x4 adds all-weather grip, and sportier setups add character.

Match it to your routine. If you face rough weather or cover highway miles, 4x4 and heated features pay off, while a mostly local pattern points toward a well-equipped mid trim.

Higher trims add comfort and family features.
Available 4x4 suits mountain weather.
Every trim keeps the flexible three-row layout.
