For 2010, the only SUVs that have seating for nine people are the Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe plus the GMC Yukon and GMC Yukon XL. These have a bench seat in the front, middle and third row in entry-level trim levels.
Keep an eye out for Suburban and Tahoe LS model, which is the sole trim level offered with nine-occupant seating, starting at $40,635 and $37,280, respectively. On the Yukon, look for the SLE trim levels, starting at $38,020 for the Yukon and $41,490 for the Yukon XL.
As far as adding a bench seat to an existing model, there aren’t any accessory or bench delete options available on the 2010 Ford Expedition; the Excursion is no longer in production.
Your other alternatives for carrying that many people are full-size vans like the Ford E-350 wagon, GMC Savana passenger van and Chevrolet Express passenger van.
