If you’re shopping for a Ford SUV that can carry a larger family, friends, or extra gear, you’ll likely want a model with third-row seating. Not all Ford SUVs offer this feature, so it helps to know which ones do before you start test-driving.
Mid-Size Three-Row SUV: Ford Explorer
The Ford Explorer is one of the most popular SUVs in Ford’s lineup and comes with standard third-row seating, allowing it to accommodate six or seven passengers depending on configuration.
- In many trims, second-row captain’s chairs provide six-passenger seating, while a second-row bench adds a seventh seat.
- The third row is roomy enough for adults on shorter trips and perfect for kids or extra passengers.
Full-Size Three-Row SUV: Ford Expedition
For maximum space and capability, the Ford Expedition offers a true three-row layout that seats up to eight passengers.
- The third row in the Expedition is designed for comfort and practicality, with easy access and generous passenger room.
- There’s also an Expedition Max version with an extended wheelbase for even more cargo room behind the third row.
How Third-Row Seating Works in Ford SUVs
Both the Explorer and Expedition use power-folding or manual-folding third-row seats so you can adjust passenger and cargo configurations easily. These SUVs strike a balance between interior space and maneuverability, making them great choices for families and adventurers alike.
Conclusion
If third-row seating is a must on your Ford SUV checklist, your best choices right now are the Ford Explorer for a mid-size three-row option, and the Ford Expedition (including Expedition Max) for maximum space and comfort. These models deliver the additional seating families and larger groups often need. Along with a host of modern features and capabilities.
