I did not like the '25ST a first, that one looks really nice, starting to think about trading my '23 in. I want a Bench seat (factory installed).

Definitely an odd way to package the bench seat and I do not understand why you need to order 4WD to get the bench seat. I ordered my 2026 Explorer ST with 2WD, but I wanted 2nd row captains seats, so it does not bother me. A similar gripe I have is why do I need to buy the sun and sound...

...the configurator last week and changed the 2nd row seat, it said the bench required 4WD and the captain's required RWD. It would not let me select captain's chairs with 4WD (or bench with RWD). Must have been a glitch in the configurator they have since fixed. Still, why no bench seat for RWD?

I would say it is the opposite of that. the AWD does not "need the bench seat", but if you want to add the bench seat to your order, then you also need to add AWD. In other words, when you add the bench seat to your order, the configurator also forces you add the AWD option. You can order a...

I’m very curious about the AWD needing the bench seat, it doesn’t say that in the order guide, so it’s interesting the online configurator is making you do that.

Just to update my own question, this is what I ended up doing. Just removing the center bench seat. In and out a few times now so it’s been convenient to swap between 6 and 7 seat setups as needed. Only takes me 10 mins to install/pull the seat now. did need to take the seat belt buckle out...

Just an FYI, the bench seat wouldn’t match the rest of the seats in your XLT.

I also removed the middle seat from my bench. You have to remove the seat belt receiver from the middle seat and plug it into the harness. I did this and just taped it up and tucked it under one of the side seats with a zip tie. That will get rid of the warnings. It's not hard. T50 torx for...

I have the 22 St with the bench seat, and we have a new arrival next week so I had to move my daughters child seat to the back row, but I also wanted a clear path back there for her. My experience is different; after I removed the middle 2nd row seat I only get the "rear belt monitor fault...

...but it was the only way. You cannot jump the harness connector. Won’t work and may damage ECU. not aware of there being airbags in the 2nd row. My guess is the wiring you are seeing for the two outer seats is for the power fold function. Bench seats don’t have this but the captains chairs do.

Just built out a Platinum on Ford.com and it does appear that Bench seat is no longer an option.

Sad to say, the delete button has been a thing since the 21 ST's, only the 20's came with extra options or standard items that were never brought back again The 25 Platinum was always available with the bench with the 2.3 engine, unless it was removed sometime later in 25?

Can you pls Picture of this, i would interested how its look like when the middle seat is out of the bench. mfg

I pulled the middle seat out of my bench for more space. Issue is with the seat belt buckles. When you disconnect them, it causes errors with the seat belt monitoring system so you'll get warnings on the dash. If temporary, don't worry about it. If this is a long term thing, you'll need to...

Damnit! Go figure. Insurance totaled my vehicle and I have my rental until the middle of this week so I’m kinda rushed. That depresses me lol

For 2026 the ST will have the bench seat available.

...(I’m an audio guy) Great feeling steering wheel. Nice and thick. Handling is kinda sporty and aggressive Nice purr to the engine Cons: No bench seat for second row No cargo cover for the rear I‘m forced to get a third row when I don’t need one. You see a ton of them on the road. I prefer...

3W sent me the wrong 3rd row mat multiple times. Free if you’ll pay the shipping costs. 3W says they fit a 20-25 Explorer with Bench seat. I have 2 I don’t need. I’d rather not throw them out. In Toledo, OH if you are local to me. EDIT: MATS ARE GONE! THANKS!

well that’s an interesting move. I wonder the reasoning behind that? Looks like ‘26 ST gets bench seat and additional wheel options? Curious to see what those are

So side window shades are back? ST key Fob is back? Power Steering column adjust is back? etc., etc.. These and more were deleted mid through the 25's. Is everything back for 26'??
