Sitting capacity wise, the Ford Explorer 2022 edition can accommodate up to seven passengers (six if you opt for captain’s chairs in the second row). The ride also has the best quality materials that you want in a cabin. In addition to that, it gets up to 47.9 cubic feet of space behind the second row, expanding to more than 87 cubic feet when the last two rows are folded.
The 2022 Toyota 4Runner really has a large cargo hold to, which opens up 47.2 cubic feet of space for its two-row versions, and up to 46.6 cubic feet for three-row versions. There is also sufficient headroom and legroom for passengers, regardless where they are seated in any of these models. What makes it disappointing is how it has been designed, as it looks dated when compared to its other rivals, the Explorer included.
