The Kuat Transfer Bike Rack like part # KU74FR which is one of my favorite bike racks is an excellent option for a 2018 Ford Explorer. In regards to the rear cargo area, you'll simply need to tilt the rack rearward so you can open the hatch and access the contents inside. Therefore, you won't have to remove the bike rack or even the bikes to get into the rear of the vehicle. There won't be any extender needed for this either.
I have attached for you below an install video of this bike rack.
