The 2010 Ford Explorer XLT is a midsize sport utility vehicle (SUV) produced by Ford Motor Company as part of the fourth-generation Explorer (2006–2010). Known for its rugged body-on-frame construction, comfortable interior, strong towing capability, and dependable V6 power, it remains a popular choice for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and drivers seeking a capable used SUV.
Key Facts
- Generation: Fourth
- Body Style: 4-door midsize SUV
- Engine: 4.0 L SOHC Cologne V6
- Transmission: 5-speed automatic
- Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive (RWD) or optional four-wheel drive (4WD)
Design and Engineering
The 2010 Explorer XLT features a bold, traditional SUV design with a high ride height, wide stance, and durable body-on-frame construction. Built on Ford’s U251 platform, it was engineered to balance everyday comfort with off-road capability and towing performance. The standard 4.0-liter SOHC V6 engine produces approximately 210 horsepower and 254 lb-ft of torque, providing dependable power for daily driving, highway travel, and light-duty towing. Properly equipped, the Explorer can tow up to 5,390 pounds, making it suitable for boats, campers, and utility trailers. Its suspension emphasizes ride comfort while maintaining the durability expected from a traditional SUV.
Interior and Features
Inside, the Explorer XLT offers a spacious cabin with seating for up to five passengers, with an available third-row seat increasing capacity to seven. The interior emphasizes practicality, featuring supportive cloth seating, generous storage compartments, and a functional dashboard layout. Standard equipment includes power windows and door locks, keyless entry, cruise control, air conditioning, a power driver’s seat, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, and a six-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system with an auxiliary input. Folding rear seats provide flexible cargo space for larger items, making the Explorer well suited for family trips and everyday hauling.
Safety and Efficiency
Ford equipped the 2010 Explorer XLT with a comprehensive suite of safety features, including front and side-impact airbags, side-curtain airbags with rollover protection, anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic stability control with Roll Stability Control®, traction control, and a tire-pressure monitoring system. These systems contributed to strong crash-test performance for its era while enhancing driver confidence in adverse weather and emergency maneuvers. Fuel economy is rated at approximately 14 mpg city and 20 mpg highway for four-wheel-drive models, with rear-wheel-drive versions offering slightly better efficiency.
Market Position and Legacy
The 2010 Ford Explorer XLT marked the final model year of the fourth-generation Explorer before Ford introduced a fully redesigned unibody platform for 2011. It represented the end of the Explorer’s traditional truck-based heritage, valued for its durability, towing capability, and off-road potential. Although later crossover SUVs offered improved fuel economy and on-road refinement, many owners continue to appreciate the 2010 Explorer XLT for its robust construction, dependable mechanical components, and versatility. Today, it remains a respected choice on the used vehicle market for buyers seeking a capable, body-on-frame SUV with strong utility and relatively straightforward maintenance.
