Pre-Owned 2010 Ford F-150 4WD XLT SuperCrew in Dallas, TX

2010 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 w/ 5.4L V8 - Review

If you’re after a full-size pickup that’s tough, dependable, and ready to work, the 2010 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 with the 5.4L Triton V8 is a classic choice. Sitting in the sweet spot between workhorse utility and everyday usability, this truck has been a popular option for tradespeople, weekend warriors, and anyone who appreciates old-school V8 muscle.

Performance & Capability

Under the hood is Ford’s long-running 5.4L Triton V8, producing 310 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque. While not the most powerful engine in the lineup, it offers strong low-end torque and enough grunt to get the job done-especially in a 4x4 configuration.

When properly equipped, it can tow up to 11,300 lbs, which puts it right up there with competitors of the era. Acceleration isn’t fast by today’s standards, but it’s confident and reliable, especially when hauling loads or climbing rough terrain.

The 6-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly and holds gears well under load. The 4x4 system is solid, with a shift-on-the-fly knob that engages quickly when the weather or terrain gets rough.

Ride & Handling

For a full-size truck, the 2010 F-150 XLT rides surprisingly well. The suspension strikes a good balance between work-duty toughness and daily driving comfort. On the highway, it feels composed and stable, and the steering is light enough for city maneuvering, though still a bit heavy compared to newer models.

Off-road, the 4x4 system combined with solid ground clearance and a rugged chassis make it a capable trail runner and snow-day hero.

Interior & Features

The XLT trim gives you a nice blend of function and comfort. Expect durable cloth seats, a straightforward layout, and handy touches like power windows, keyless entry, and a decent stereo. Optional features like SYNC voice control, a towing package, and chrome appearance upgrades were also available.

Interior space is generous, especially in SuperCab or SuperCrew configurations. Rear seats fold up for cargo space, and legroom is ample for most adults.

Fuel Economy

This is where the 5.4L Triton shows its age. You’re looking at 13-18 mpg, depending on driving style and load. It’s not terrible for a truck of this size and capability, but it’s not exactly wallet-friendly at the pump either.
