2010 Ford Expedition: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2010 Ford Expedition is a light-update model led by standard Trailer Sway Control, which helps steady a trailer if it begins moving side to side. MyKey also becomes standard across the lineup, while the rest of the SUV largely carries over.
About the 2010 Ford Expedition
3rd generation, introduced for 2007; 2010 is the fourth model year of this generation.
Ford positions the Expedition as a big, traditional SUV for families who still need real towing strength, full-size passenger room, and lots of cargo space. The brochure leans hard into road trips, outdoor gear, and seating for up to eight, while reviewers highlight the roomy third row, easy-fold rear seats, and strong tow rating. In plain terms, the Expedition is Ford’s full-size family-and-towing SUV, with the EL version aimed at people who need even more luggage space behind the third row.
The 2010 Expedition is a full-size, three-row SUV offered in regular and longer EL body styles, with XLT serving as the practical, trailer-ready trim. Eddie Bauer adds leather and more cabin comfort, while Limited brings heated and cooled front seats, a power liftgate, a rearview camera, and heavy-duty towing hardware. King Ranch tops the range with distinctive Chaparral leather, heated second-row seats, and wood-look cabin trim.
