North Central West Virginia Explorer Interior Guide
2027 Ford Explorer Interior, Dimensions and Cargo Space
At T&S Ford, we want your Explorer to work as well on a packed school morning as it does on a weekend away. The 2027 Explorer seats six with standard second-row captain’s chairs, while Active, ST-Line, Platinum and ST offer a seven-seat bench. You get 16.3 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row, or up to 85.8 cubic feet in Active and ST-Line and 85.3 cubic feet in Tremor, Platinum and ST with the rear seats folded. We’ll help you decide which seating layout, interior and cargo setup makes everyday life easier—not just which trim looks best on paper.
Along I-79 and through the Fairmont–White Hall area, the Explorer has to handle more than one passenger arrangement. A full third row is useful on school days; the cargo floor matters when weekend plans bring larger gear. Start with the space measurements, then compare the cabin equipment that improves daily time behind the wheel.
2027 Explorer Specifications
2027 Ford Explorer Interior Measurements by Trim
Our first question is simple: who rides with you, and what needs to fit when every seat is occupied? Once we settle that, comparing materials and trim features becomes much easier. Active and ST-Line have the highest listed maximum cargo volume; the biggest reasons to move up are seating comfort, equipment and interior character—not a larger three-row SUV.

The Explorer Cabin at a Glance
Three Rows, Without Giving Up Everyday Cargo Access
We start with the decisions that actually change how the Explorer works for you: six versus seven seats, second-row access and cargo space with the third row in use.

The pass-through between the standard captain’s chairs makes third-row access more direct. The available bench puts a seventh passenger on board, but it replaces that center aisle. Either way, you have 16.3 cubic feet for bags when all three rows are occupied. We’ll help you choose which arrangement makes your usual trips easier.
Choose Your Seating Layout Before Your Trim
A bench adds another place to sit; PowerFold lets you lower the third row more conveniently. Those are different benefits. On your chosen Explorer, we confirm the equipment on the window sticker and demonstrate the actual seating controls.
Parking & Vehicle Size
Check the Garage and the Ground Clearance
An Explorer needs to fit your driveway, garage and daily parking routine as comfortably as it fits your passengers. We’ll compare the dimensions that matter for those spaces.

The Explorer is nearly 199 inches long, with mirrors that make it 10.4 inches wider than the body alone. That difference is easy to overlook at a narrow garage entrance. Tremor also stands taller than the other trims, so include overhead clearance when checking your home garage, roof carrier or usual parking structure. We’ll help you verify the specific dimensions before you commit.
Measure More Than the Door Opening
Bring your garage measurements with you. We’ll help you account for the space needed to open the doors, work around child seats and raise the liftgate, so parking at home doesn’t become an everyday frustration.
Three-Row Passenger Space
How Much Room Each Row Gives You
We look beyond the seating count. Each person needs a usable place to sit, and there are small legroom differences between the trim groups worth checking in person.

Useful mixed passenger/cargo layout; check the exact seat configuration
Ford lists 31.8 inches of third-row legroom, but that number only becomes meaningful with the second row adjusted for your usual passengers. Active and ST-Line also list slightly more first- and second-row legroom than Tremor, Platinum and ST. We put those differences into perspective by seating everyone as they’ll actually travel.
A Full Third Row Does Not Mean a Full Cargo Hold
When your normal trip includes a full cabin and luggage, we’ll start at the open liftgate with all the seats upright. The 16.3-cubic-foot space is what you can actually use in that situation; the maximum cargo figure comes into play after the rear seats fold.

Interior color choices
Ultra Dark Space Gray / Dark Space Gray / Space Gray
Active is our starting recommendation when you want three-row flexibility and a straightforward interior. Standard cloth keeps the choice simple. The available Active Comfort Package upgrades the front-passenger adjustment and opens up Dark Space Gray and Space Gray ActiveX finishes, giving you a noticeably different cabin without requiring a jump to another trim. Pay for that package because you enjoy the comfort and materials, not simply because it appears on an equipment list.
Where Active Earns Its Place
Bring the family for both seating arrangements. We’ll check third-row entry, the room left for bags and the two available ActiveX finishes, so you pay for an upgrade you’ll appreciate rather than a different label.
ST-Line Interior
ST-Line: Add Onyx Styling Without Losing the Seven-Seat Option
Onyx Unique Cloth with red stitching; a sportier driver environment and optional second-row heat.

If you like the Explorer’s family-friendly size but want a more distinctive driver’s seat, we’ll put ST-Line beside Active. You’ll see the Onyx cloth with red stitching, hear the B&O audio system and try the 360-degree camera. Those are upgrades you can appreciate on ordinary drives. For passengers who want heated second-row seats, we’ll look specifically for the ST-Line Premium Package rather than assuming every ST-Line includes it.
A Sportier Cabin With Family Practicality
We’ll compare Active and ST-Line from the front seats first, then check the same family seating arrangements in back. You’ll know exactly what your additional spend changes—and what it doesn’t.

Tremor deserves a close look when weekends involve outdoor travel as well as everyday driving. Its Onyx Miko suede, Electric Spice stitching and heated second-row captain’s chairs give the cabin a distinctive feel and welcome comfort after a cold outing. Available PowerFold adds convenience when gear replaces third-row passengers. The tradeoff is clear: Tremor is a six-seat Explorer. If you routinely need seven, we’ll steer you to a better-fitting trim.
The Six-Seat Tradeoff Is Real
Bring the gear you actually take outdoors. We’ll check the space with both second-row seats occupied before talking about a bigger cargo configuration. If a seventh seat is nonnegotiable, we’ll move you to a trim that offers one rather than trying to make Tremor fit the wrong job.

With Platinum, we’ll settle your passenger count before you fall in love with a leather color. Standard Mojave Dusk ActiveX includes leather diamond-perforated inserts; the available Lux Leather Package gives you Mojave Dusk or Salt Crystal Gray leather seating surfaces. But those Lux Leather choices exclude both rear-wheel drive and the seven-seat bench. If you need seven seats, we’ll point you toward an eligible standard Platinum configuration instead of letting an upholstery selection create a surprise later.
Look Past the Trim Name to the Exact Package
We’ll check the exact Platinum window sticker with you: standard Mojave Dusk, available Lux Leather or 3.0L Ultimate equipment. That protects the seating layout you need while giving you a clear picture of what you’re paying for.

We won’t treat ST as an ST-Line appearance upgrade. If you’re drawn to the performance-focused Explorer, you deserve to experience its Onyx Miko inserts, red stitching and sport-seat support on the road. You also get a standard PowerFold third row, and an available bench keeps seven-passenger seating on the table. We’ll help you judge the driving position and family fit together, not as two separate decisions.
Performance Style That Still Handles the School Run
We’ll use your test drive to check whether the seat bolsters feel right and whether your passengers can get in and out comfortably. The right ST needs to work for your usual miles, not only make a strong first impression.

Cargo Space in Real Life
See What the Explorer Can Carry With Your Seats in Use
Start With the Space You Use Every Day
With every seat occupied, the Explorer gives you 16.3 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the third row. We’ll help you check what actually fits through the liftgate—strollers, bags, coolers and everyday gear—before deciding whether you need to rearrange passenger space.
Open Up the Floor When Cargo Takes Priority
The full-width photo shows the long loading floor you get with both rear rows down, but you don’t have to fold everything to gain useful space. Lower the third row and you have 46.0 cu. ft. behind the second row while keeping its passenger seats in use. Fold both rear rows for the full 85.8 cu. ft. in Active and ST-Line, or 85.3 cu. ft. in Tremor, Platinum and ST. We’ll show you each arrangement so you can choose the space you need without giving up seats unnecessarily.
PowerFold third-row seating is standard on Platinum and ST and available on qualifying Tremor models. Cargo volume doesn't guarantee that a rigid item will fit through the liftgate; we'll help you check its dimensions in person.
Passenger & Cargo Fit Studio
Test the Explorer Against the Seats and Gear You Really Use
Bring the people and gear that actually travel with you. We use three practical checks—second-row comfort, third-row access and cargo loading—to see which Explorer layout works for your household before you decide on a trim.
Select a Topic or Use Previous / Next
Seat Setup
Set Up Two Rows Before Checking the Third
We’ll set the front seats to your normal driving positions first. Then someone who regularly rides in back can try the second row, check their knees and feet, and see how the armrests work. That’s a much more useful test than sliding the front seats unnaturally far forward to make the cabin look spacious.
Keep the front seats set for the people who drive most, then try buckling in, shifting your feet and using the armrests in back. We’ll compare the actual seat positions before you decide whether the small difference between trim groups matters to your passengers.

Third-Row Access
Practice the Walk-In to the Back Row
We’ll have your usual third-row passengers climb in using E-Z Entry, then repeat the test in a bench-equipped Explorer if you need seven seats. You’ll see the difference in how people move through the cabin before it becomes part of your daily routine.
We’ll do the entry test with the second row set for its usual passengers—not pushed forward just to create a bigger opening. If you need seven seats, we’ll also check the available bench setup, including where passengers place their feet when climbing into the back.

Flexible Loading
Bring a Stroller, Cooler or Sports Bag
Bring the stroller, cooler, sports bag or crate you use most. We’ll try it through the liftgate with every row upright, then fold the third row to see what changes while the second row stays available. That takes the guesswork out of a bulky-item purchase decision.
We’ll check the widest part of your gear against the liftgate opening, then test whether it lies flat once the third row is folded. Keep the second-row seats where your passengers actually need them—the goal is to find out what you can pack without rearranging everyone.

Cockpit & Everyday Technology
The Explorer Cockpit You Use Every Day
Every Explorer includes a 13.2-inch center display and a 12.3-inch driver cluster, so the essential controls are familiar across the lineup. During your visit, we pair your phone, locate USB connections for every row and walk through the features you’ll use most. Comparing audio and seat controls in person makes the upgrade between trims tangible—not just another line on the sticker.
Active: Learn the Controls Once +
Active already gives you the digital displays, tri-zone climate controls and wireless phone connectivity that anchor every Explorer. We’ll demonstrate those basics and point out the USB connections for second- and third-row passengers so everyone can settle in for the trip.
ST-Line and Tremor: Different Cabin Priorities +
ST-Line’s 10-speaker B&O system makes the audio upgrade easy to hear, while Tremor uses its seat materials and heated captain’s chairs to create a different cabin experience. We’ll check the relevant package equipment on whichever one earns your attention.
Platinum and ST: Comfort or Performance Character +
Platinum focuses on seat comfort and sound for longer drives; ST brings a sportier seat and steering-wheel feel. Both come with PowerFold. Experience each driving position, then use the third-row controls to see which combination suits your regular trips.
