The Ford Flex is a people mover, cargo capacity king, and a surprisingly well performing machine! With all that considered, it is a shame that the Flex is often overlooked due to its unique and against the grain looks. However, after diving deeper in to what this unique SUV brings to the table, we are sure you just might think about a Flex in your future!

Just bought a lightly used one. Love it for the style/interior comfort/ride/good handling/cargo room. To me, it's an updated Country Squure, but way cooler - and that's exactly what I wanted.

[@b3at2]

Lucky you.

[@lazaroambrosio5646]

How much was it used?

[@DonOmarRamiro]

Hello.! How is it holding 6 months in???

[@74455776]

@@DonOmarRamiro love it!

[@victoriamahon3765]

We had one of these as a rental in 2019 so it was probably a 2018 model, but we really liked it. It was perfect for our beach trip!

[@remedy731]

23mpg. If it did 30, I'd seriously consider getting one. Nice family vehicle and it can also double as a pickup when you lay down the back seats

[@aayonce4]

We love our Flex we have the same exact one in this video. Great ride great handling. And good value

[@DonOmarRamiro]

Hello. Still have it? Would you recommend? Any serious issues with it?

[@aayonce4]

@@DonOmarRamiro yes it is still in our family it’s a great vehicle a bit thirsty on gas but is a good trade off for the features ! Good power even with a full load but you will take a hit in efficiency. Would recommend the turbo . No major issues at all had to replace a tail light early on but that’s about it .

[@DonOmarRamiro]

@@aayonce4 I'm really considering one.! I like the looks and don't mind the gas, having all that interior space should have a trade off. Ill be looking for a test drive and will consider the turbo.! Thank you.!

[@aayonce4]

@@DonOmarRamiro one thing I will say the third row is accommodating but not exactly comfortable the seats sit kinda straight up but it is still more spacious than most comparable crossovers of that time .

Can't wait to get the 2025 version. I've had a 2014 with 485,000 and still going. Love it.

[@RichmondFordWestGlenAllen]

You'll have to settle for a 2019 as these were discontinued after that last year of production. :(

[@joseluisruiz3789]

Man, I cant wait to trade in my 2012 Genesis sedan for one of these EcoBoost version with the appearance Package.

[@cruzmascorro537]

You better hurry 2019 or 2020 is the last year being built.

[@joseluisruiz3789]

@@cruzmascorro537 I know!!!! I'll be done paying off my Genesis in August. My goal is to try and get one by the end of 2019, hopefully I'll get my chance on a new one. 😭😭😭😭

[@what2252]

Definitely will be a good trade just bought one with 44,000 miles payed 23,000 for it. Well worth it. Is a power house with all kinds of extra

[@GrammyTapDancing]

I've loved these ever since I drove it for room & comfort

[@sorinardelean2193]

I got 2 of these i smokke everybody on the street with the ecoboost only audi beat me but it was a sedan

[@jamescox1806]

That's funny because I just traded in my Audi for a Ford Flex and I love it!

[@jamescox1806]

@Braylon Chandley Audi's are beautiful vehicles! Just a shame they cost so much to maintain certain things? Timing belts every 75k-100 at $1,500 sucks and especially when Timing chains last longer.....though not as quiet as a belt!

[@jst31n]

I remember when this vehicle was first introduced. To me it looked like a reinvention of a station wagon, but in a cool but with less chrome awesomeness. Im seriously considering buying a badly rusted one in 20 or 30 years, cuz Im inbred and cant afford a nice new one in the near future.

Daddy W how many month lease?

[@colinsdad1]

Sir- Loved this video! I've been pushing my Son and his Wife towards this model. I have some questions on options, mainly, which package should they look for to include Rear Infotainment, Center console fridge and powered rear 3rd row? Also, what is the mileage difference between the Base and Ecoboost? Thanks in advance. 👍 On the video!

[@RichmondFordWestGlenAllen]

Thanks for the kind words! The Flex is sadly out of production but when searching the pre-owned market to get the powered 3rd row mentioned in your comment you will need to seek out the top trim level depending on year. (Limited, Titanium) The fridge and rear monitors were stand alone optional features in the earlier year Ford Flex's. Finding a Flex with an OEM fridge and rear monitors will be a challenge but you can add these features if you DIY or have them installed in the aftermarket.

[@IBRAHIM-uf5xy]

​@@RichmondFordWestGlenAllen Can I ask you if the production of the Ford Flex has been discontinued?

[@RichmondFordWestGlenAllen]

@@IBRAHIM-uf5xy Yes, the last Ford Flex model year is 2019.

[@louiebram1445]

How I wish I would have one, but I don’t know if I can afford it am just a regular employee of Estée Lauder New York

[@RichmondFordWestGlenAllen]

The Flex has been discontinued by Ford so they are no longer making them new. However, you can still find these on the used market. They originally came out in 2009 and had a lifespan through 2019. There are sure to be some quality pre-owned Ford Flex's that would fall in an affordable price range since they have been around for so long. We occasionally get them in on our pre-owned lots but currently do not have any in stock. But happy hunting to you for your dream car!

[@brandtmunden4869]

We’ve love our flexie but be prepared to piss off people who think their cars are fast because I promise you this son of a bitch is no joke stocked up…

I just got a 2019 but now having issues with our car seat installation. Graco Extend 2 Fit in the third town, harness will not tighten. It seams that the folded headrest puts to much tension on the straps when the car seat is tightly installed with LATCH. Any ideas on how to remedy this?

[@RichmondFordWestGlenAllen]

I have this same car seat. I've got two tips for you. The first is with my car seats, any time I go to tighten the straps I always put my body weight in the seat. This makes the car seat collapse into the seat cushion more than the child's weight would and allows you to get the straps the tightest they can be. The other tip for the headrest is to just completely remove it if you don't want to keep it up. It is not necessary for this car seat which provides a built-in headrest.

[@hostelnordstern1082]

Hello, I need help in Germany. I bought yesterday y Ford Flex SEL 3,5 2019, because I am a big fan of this car since a trip to America. Unfortunately the Flex is not really known in Germany and so no one can really help me. There is unfortunately no manual and the Flex presents me with the one or other challenge. Can anyone help me? Many greetings Bettina

[@RichmondFordWestGlenAllen]

Hallo! You can download an owner manual directly from Ford for your year and model Flex. www.ford.com/support/owner-manuals/

[@hostelnordstern1082]

​@@RichmondFordWestGlenAllen Thank you for the tip. Here begins the problem. In the German registration is only Flex AWD no other indication, so I ultimately do not know which Flex I actually own. Some I could take from the manual, various other messages I can not assign and do not know how to fix them. Also the German Ford dealer can not help me. I am honestly at a loss and even as a woman 😏. Here in NRW this vehicle is rather rare, another car dealer in the area who also sells a Flex treated me harshly when I asked him for help.

[@RichmondFordWestGlenAllen]

@@hostelnordstern1082 I'm sorry we can't be of much help. I would suggest finding a VIN decoder website. Enter your Flex's VIN number that can be found on the windscreen or the door jamb on the website and it should tell you more information about your Flex.

Such a great Ford station wagon, it has been cancelled like the GM Aztek. It never sold well - just 30k per year for 10 years - a loser. You should be able to pick up a used one for a lot less. Funny, how Ford hid most of it's logos on the front and rear just saying Flex, since they didn't want to take credit for this Mule. At least the new electric Mustang, a real SUV - has presold 100k+ in the first year vs this pathetic failure.
