Overview

Despite being a midsize wagon, the 2015 Ford Flex goes up against notable midsize SUVs like the Toyota Highlander, the Chevrolet Traverse, and the Honda Pilot. Spread across 3 trims, the Flex starts off at a base price of MSRP of $29,100 and carries on to $42,400. Not all trims are built equal, however, as there are 2 powertrains on offer. The standard engine is a 3.6L V6 rated for 287 horsepower and 254 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, the Flex gives you a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds. An optional 3.6L twin-turbocharged V6 is also offered, with an output of 365 horsepower. A 6-speed automatic transmission is offered alongside both engines.

Buying Advice

If you sated with the power output of the base engine then we recommend the SEL trim which slots in the middle and costs $32,100 with the front-wheel drive. For all-wheel-drive, you will be paying $1,950 extra. However, if you are eyeing the twin-turbo engine, you have no choice but ti get the top-most Limited trim.
