I would be happy to find some towing mirrors that clip onto your factory mirrors but if you are trying to replace your stock mirrors we do not offer any for your 2010 Ford Explorer XLT. The best towing mirrors for your Explorer XLT are going to be the CIPA Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors - Clip On item # 11953-2. These mirrors will clip onto your factory side-view mirrors to extend your lines of sight while you're towing. These mirrors have a larger flat mirror that reflects clear, detailed images and a smaller convex mirror that reduces blind spots. I have linked a picture below and an installation video so you can see what this mirrors look like once installed.
