Not modeled yet

  • Folding only one side of a split second or third row — the calculator checks each row fully upright or fully folded.
  • Separate 7-, 8- or 9-seat layouts — dimensions are for the standard layout.

How the calculator checks a fit

  • The opening check and the interior check run independently: an item must clear the opening with one face and fit inside the modeled space.
  • The solver takes a 5% safety allowance off the opening. The opening sizes shown above are the catalog figures before that allowance.
  • Tilted placements inside the cargo space are checked in 3D. The loading path is not simulated: turning after entry, angling through the opening, wheel wells, roof taper and the seat-fold step are not modeled.

What fits

What fits in a Ford Explorer?

Each result below is computed by the same solver as the calculator, against the layouts in the table above.

Queen mattress (rigid)
Blocked at the opening in our check: no face of the item clears the ≈44 × ≈31 in opening after the 5% safety allowance. This result depends on the opening width and opening height, which are estimated for this vehicle — measure yours before relying on it. A foam mattress that folds or rolls is a different check. Checked at 60 × 80 × 10 in.
Won't fit
Twin mattress (rigid)
Fits with the 2nd and 3rd rows folded — about 2.8 in of clearance. This result depends on the opening width and opening height, which are estimated for this vehicle — measure yours before relying on it. Checked at 39 × 75 × 10 in.
Fits
75" TV in its box
Blocked at the opening in our check: no face of the item clears the ≈44 × ≈31 in opening after the 5% safety allowance. This result depends on the opening width and opening height, which are estimated for this vehicle — measure yours before relying on it. Checked at a typical 75" TV box, 69 × 42 × 9 in.
Won't fit
65" TV in its box
Fits with the 2nd and 3rd rows folded — about 3.8 in of clearance. This result depends on the opening width and opening height, which are estimated for this vehicle — measure yours before relying on it. Checked at a typical 65" TV box, 62 × 38 × 8 in.
Fits
Top-load washer
Fits with the 3rd row folded — about 2.4 in of clearance. This result depends on the opening width and opening height, which are estimated for this vehicle — measure yours before relying on it. Checked at 27 × 28 × 38 in.

Measure smart

What to measure.

Four numbers decide nearly every fit check. Get these right and the rest follows.

  1. 01The opening width and height of the trunk or liftgate, not just the total volume, since the opening is what an item has to pass through.
  2. 02The load-floor length behind the rear seats, then again with the seats folded.
  3. 03The height available under the roofline or parcel shelf, measured at the lowest point.
  4. 04Your item at its widest point, including feet, handles, and packaging.

Don't make these

Common mistakes.

Most “it didn't fit” stories trace back to one of these oversights.

  1. ⚠Trusting the cubic-foot figure and assuming a wide item will fit, when the opening is narrower than the item.
  2. ⚠Measuring the cargo floor but forgetting the roofline tapers toward the opening.
  3. ⚠Ignoring that a full-size spare, subwoofer, or hybrid battery eats into the quoted volume.
  4. ⚠Folding only one seat when the long item needs the full flat load floor.

Frequently asked

Questions we keep getting.

  • What are the Ford Explorer cargo dimensions?

    For the 6th generation (CD6), U.S. market, 2020+ model years, ItemFits models three cargo layouts. All seats upright (behind 3rd row): a floor about 20.8 in long and 48.1 in wide (estimated); Ford publishes 18.2 cu ft for this layout. 3rd row folded (2nd row upright): about 41.3 in long; Ford publishes 47.9 cu ft for this layout. 2nd and 3rd rows folded: about 83.9 in long (approximate); Ford publishes 87.8 cu ft for this layout. Cargo height (about 29.9 in) and the liftgate opening (about 44 × 31 in) are estimates.

    01

  • Which Explorer model years does this cover?

    6th generation (CD6), U.S. market, 2020+ model years. The dimensions were checked against 2020 model-year sources; a result for a later model year is labeled as not separately verified. Earlier Explorers are a different generation we don't have dimensions for, so the calculator labels any result for those years as an approximation based on the 2020+ model.

    02

  • How does the calculator decide whether something fits?

    It runs two independent checks: whether one face of the item clears the liftgate opening (with a 5% safety allowance taken off the opening), and whether the item fits inside the cargo space, including tilted placements. It does not simulate the loading path itself — turning the item once inside, angling it through the opening, wheel wells, roof taper, or the step where the seats fold — so treat a close result as a reason to measure.
