There's 2 main rows (the drivers row and the backseat row), but then there is an optional pop up 3rd row in the back with two extra seats. This row can be either popped up for extra seating or laid down for a big storage area. Not only does the whole back of the explorer pop open to be able to store things, the window also fully pops open for a quicker, lighter opening option. Right inside the back of the vehicle there's a secret storage compartment for things like jumper cables, tools, etc. In the middle row there is a convenient TV on the roof to use during our road trips for entertainment. In the front row there is a middle console for storage.

My Ford has been with us a long time. Super roomy and very durable. Low maintenance. Excellent third row seating was a plus for our growing family. The engine is still going strong.
