Overview

Competing in the compact wagon, the 2013 Ford Flex goes up directly against the Kia Soul. If one wants more,, we can consider the Buick Enclave, and the Lincoln MKT. Spread across 3 trims, the Flex starts off at a base price of MSRP $30,900 and carries on to $43,850. Not all trims are built equal, however, as there are 2 powertrains on offer. The standard engine is a 3.5L V6 engine rated for 285 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, the Flex gives you a towing capacity of 4,500 pounds. An optional 3.5L turbocharged V6 engine is also offered, with an output of 365 horsepower. A 6-speed Automatic transmission is offered alongside both engines and is available in 6 enticing colors

The "Redline Reviews" reviews the newly released cars and gives you proper walkaround before making a decision on buying a car. It even compares worthy rivals. As for the 2013 Ford Flex "Redline Reviews" feels that "it is better than Ford's own Explorer".

Buying Advice

The 2013 Ford Flex receives a complete styling update and now looks better than ever. This beast is available in 3 trim levels with 2 optional powertrains. When shopping for a Flex, we'd opt for the mid-level SEL trim. This trim would cost you about $35,250 for the AWD version but is worth it if you're looking for better handling. This trim also offers a long list of standard equipment such as fog lights, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, an eight-way power driver seat with power lumbar, a six-way power front passenger seat, satellite radio, and the MyFord Touch electronics interface.
