Ford Flex Overview
Taking cues from the past to bring itself into the future, Ford has ditched its minivan lineup and replaced it with the retro Ford Flex. Feeling that consumers are tired of the boxy blandness and suburban stigma assocated with minivans, Ford revitalizes the genre with a stylish head-turner that recalls 1950s station wagons, yet serves up enough innovative features to appeal to the modern family.
Set to debut in the summer of 2008 as a 2009 model, the Ford Flex will be powered by a 3.5-liter, 265-hp V6 and 6-speed automatic to start, but may add Ford's new Twin-Force V6 as well. Three trims will initially be offered (the SE, SEL, and Limited), with a Lincoln trim likely for 2009. Both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive versions will be available. At 202 inches long and with a 118-inch wheelbase, the Flex will be Ford's longest crossover, able to seat seven in three rows. Convenience features will include voice-activated navigation, keypad entry, a second-row fridge, and the new Ford Sync entertainment system.
Recognizing the American family's growing attraction to sleeker crossovers, Ford hopes the MINI-like looks of the Flex will inject a jolt of energy into the stagnant minivan segment.

The Ford Flex has been a popular choice for families, known for its spacious and comfortable interior, smooth ride, and strong performance. Owners appreciate its ample cargo space and family-friendly features, making it ideal for road trips. However, some drivers have noted concerns about fuel economy, wind noise, and outdated technology in earlier models. Overall, the Flex is praised for its unique appearance and versatility, but some wish for improved engine performance and better design details.

What people say
The Flex Limted Ecoboost/Turbo with AWD and Multi-panel Sunroof is THE BEST FAMILY VEHICLE. We drove our 2012 Limted for 10 years to 170k miles before the (now known) water pump issue ruined our engine. Ford hasn’t fixed this issue, but now that we are aware of it & know the signs to look and listen for, we bought another 2019 Limited AWD with 60k miles and will make effort to prevent the problem. Ford Flex forums tell us that we are not the only ones doing this. It’s great for camping, family road trips, hauling our kids & sports equipment without being smooshed. There’s LOTS of space! Our elderly parents (70s & 80s) say it is the easiest vehicle for them to get in/out of when transporting them to appts or events. Best vehicle ever, better than minivans! More space than Honda pilot or the Toyota suvs on the market.
Interior room, style, comfortable, smooth riding are all top notch
Owned twice before. One of the best models Ford ever made. Good build quality and value
It’s a really good for space but not as easy on gas
Great vehicle, very spacious. Good price. Affordable deal for an SUV.
