Item: 2014 Ford Flex
Author: Bob Long

Overview

The style of the Ford Flex has always been somewhat polarizing. While California has embraced its retro chic, the Flex hasn't been as popular in other parts of the country. Which is too bad: This crossover has many of the pros you'll find in a wagon, a minivan or an SUV, and few of the cons.

The Flex is not meant for off-roading or serious towing; rather, it's designed to haul people and cargo in a car-like package.

What's New for 2014

After last year's facelift, along with some mechanical and equipment upgrades, the Flex sees only minimal changes, like new colors.

Choosing Your Ford Flex

Standard across the line is front-wheel drive and a 3.5-liter V6 with a six-speed automatic transmission. The most important factor in your Flex choice is trim level:
