2010 Ford style mates classic SUV exterior styling that’s clean and uncluttered with fantastic interior design—although some reviewers feel the Explorer has become so common that it is basically ubiquitous.

Noting that more than 5.5 million Explorers have been sold, Car and Driver reports that Ford Explorers “are so ubiquitous—and so conservatively styled—that few of us even see them anymore” and likens the Ford Explorer to “the vehicular equivalent of a pair of khaki Dockers.”

All of the 2010 Ford Explorer’s three trims are generally similar on the outside. The only real variations are different-size wheels and “a chrome four-bar grille” on the XLT versus the “chrome three-bar grille” on the Eddie Bauer and Limited models, according to Cars.com. Kelley Blue Book says both grilles are “inspired by Ford’s F-150 pickup,” but overall the Explorer “remains a very obvious descendant of the first Explorer that materialized some 17 years ago.”
