Ford Flex
The Flex is a sizeable crossover that stands out with bold style and optional two-tone paint job. Its mechanics are comparable to the brand’s other products (including a 262-hp 3.5L Duratec engine). The Limited version can also be equipped with a 355-hp EcoBoost (offered factory-standard on the Titanium). The Flex can seat 7 and most come with AWD.
