Although the Explorer has a small glove compartment, it has a huge center console. It's so big that it can swallow our entire camera equipment including bag.

Power moon roof is standard on the Explorer Eddie Bauer, however, we would have liked it to be bigger than this.  It barely extends beyond half the front seats!
