The Escape is a compact crossover SUV with only two rows of seating. Granted, its seats are fairly comfortable, but it would never be able to suit the needs of a large family without some extra help.

Trying to find something like the Escape that has a couple of extra seats in the back? We hear you! Follow along with

Does Ford have a three-row SUV?

It does: The

Ford Explorer

, a mid-size SUV, has seating options for six or seven passengers. The

Expedition

, a full-size SUV, can seat up to eight passengers.

Ford Explorer third row

The Ford Explorer offers many of the same great features as the Escape, with more seating and cargo space.

Here’s a look at just how much room you’ll have in the third row of a 2022 Ford Explorer compared to the other rows:

Third row: 32.2 inches of legroom, 38.9 inches of headroom

Second row: 39 inches of legroom, 40.5 inches of headroom

First row: 43 inches of legroom, 40.7 inches of headroom

Total passenger volume: 152.7 cubic feet

A mid-size SUV’s third row is usually a little cramped. If you want a vehicle with a third row that can seat adult-sized humans comfortably, you’re going to want to upgrade to a minivan or a full-size SUV.

Ford Expedition third row

The base model

Expedition XL

only has 5 seats, but other trims are available with 7 or 8 seats. Here’s how much space you’ll have in a 2022 Ford Expedition XLT’s seats:

Third row: 36.1 inches of legroom, 37.3 inches of headroom

Second row: 41.5 inches of legroom, 40 inches of headroom

First row: 43.9 inches of legroom, 42 inches of headroom

Those extra 4 inches sure do help make things a bit more comfortable for your rear-dwelling passengers!

Here are some other vehicles that excel in seating big families comfortably:

Model	Starting price	Third-row legroom	Third-row headroom	Total passenger volume
Chrysler Pacfica	$38,690	36.5 inches	38.7 inches	165 cubic feet
Honda Odyssey	$3,635	38.1 inches	38.3 inches	160.1 cubic feet
Kia Carnival	$39,435	33.7 inches	38.3 inches	154 cubic feet
Toyota Sienna	$36,500	38.7 inches	37.4 inches	162.5 cubic feet

Honda Pilot	$39,375	31.9 inches	38.9 inches	152.9 cubic feet
Jeep Grand Cherokee L	$43,520	30.3 inches	37.3 inches	151.9 cubic feet

This app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message! Thank you so much for a hassle free experience👍
