You either love it or you hate it. Idk I like it, its unique and the ride is so comfy!

Glad to see the Ford Flex still hangin' in there. The Flex has a kind of retro styling that just begs for "Special Edition" treatment. But Ford seems to have done very little to turn the Flex lovable. No crazy color match-ups, no "woody wagon" package and no low-rider version with 4 corner air suspension from the factory. Ford - add some Fun to the Flex!

Awesome idea for the woody wagon! I'd be on board for that! haha

We’ve had our turbo Limited Flex since 2014 and it’s the best vehicle I’ve ever purchased. Most comfortable seats in a car I’ve ever sat in. Third row seats are useless. This thing is pretty fast to and has paddle shifters for Dad!

I have a 2013 Ford Flex SEL AWD and love this car. Upgrades K&N cold air intake, dual flowmasters 40 series, megan racing coilovers, L.E.D headlights, and sumosprings. This car is a beast.

just purchased one tonight after losing my challenger during Harvey. GREAT video I love it so much and I can't wait to take a road trip!

The F in Flex stands for Family Vehicle. It's the alternative to the mini van. Just add a drop down DVD player and it's instant kid quiet for the entire trip. Also, if you are in between kids and elders, the elders can enter the car easily and the set of back seats fold down making easy storage for the wheel chair.

The flex is so cute tho

Thank you so much!!! Waiting for this from you for so looong. Thank you so much!

As always, golden review, Drew! The 2018 Ford Flex sure is one spunky vehicle. I love the boxy proportions and the horizontal character lines. Also, that Appearance Package sure does make this vehicle appear extremely sophisticated and athletic! Don't get me wrong, though. This vehicle is well due for a redesign, but I feel as if it has aged very well overtime. Especially with the minor refreshes that Ford conducts on this vehicle. It has remained very modern and bold in its appearance. Keep up the great work, Drew! DriveAndBeDriven will definitely be STAYING GOLD!!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great job Drew!!

I just traded a 2010 SEL for a 2018 SEL. Great car, hence why I replaced my 2010 with a newer one.

Best flex review ever! Thank you

My friend called my flex a range rover I never talked to him again

Adem Hasanovic Range Rovers are a joke, even the explorer looks nearly identical to the vogue.

This vehicle is amazing for anything

My parents just got the SE version of this brand new yesterday, handing me over their 2008 Focus. I'll have to say, for a long time I looked at the Flex more like a soccer mom vehicle from the outside, but it's got some good amount of manly design on the inside. The more I look at it from the side though, now it looks more like a giant, truck-sized station wagon

People underestimate the flex it will get down for ya😎

I heard the V6 engines for these new Fords have the water pump built into them, behind the timing cover, and driven by the timing system. Yea.....not good when that water pump begins to weep water/coolant into your engine oil. That’s a fatal engineering flaw, that can instantly damage the engine. Just pray that your not on the highway, when it does fail. Make sure you perform the services on this thing, right on time, and monitor that temperature gauge like a hawk; you might have to toggle for it on the steering wheel, just to see it on those digital instrument panels.

Nice car!

I drove one for 3 yrs and I foolishly traded it for a explorer..It really a comfortable ride with plenty of room. I might try to pick one up before they finally pull the plug on this hidden gem. Also the Ecoboost version is the way to go!

Gold Pony very awesome. Yeah I am not sure which next SUV I will be getting. I am currently leasing a 2016 Fusion. Then I started a photo booth business. It is not fun using the fusion. I had 4 explorers before. My dad currently has a 2016 explorer but is experiencing their carbon dioxide issues. Its tough to find which SUV might be the best cost ratio for best lease.

Everyone i know hates it but it looks pretty sick

Is that brand new cause the driver side weatherstripping over your left shoulder looks like it's coming off? And do the rear sunroofs have shades? Thanks for the vid

What’s up with the loose window seal?

If ford puts a better interior in this thing it will sell much better.

WHAT IF: Ford was to drop a slight detuned Focus RS 2.0 liter, paired with the new 10 speed automatic in the Flex... IJS

It's a 2013 dash?

We just bought a 2018 Ford Flex select with a 60/40 split second row bench. Our intention was to put our toddler in the middle and our two older kids on either side. This is not working for us because the child sitting behind the driver has no way of clicking their seatbelt in underneath the child seat. Is there a way to configure the Ford Flex 2nd row such that we can put a child seat in the middle and still allow the passenger behind the driver to use a seatbelt? The equipment that came with the Ford Flex that we just purchased does not allow us to do this. Is there a way to swap out equipment or modify the second row so we can do this? Bear in mind, our child seat is one of the narrowest in the industry. We really want our older kids to be next to the doors and our toddler in the middle.

Awesome review btw I subscribed I'm in the market for an explorer sport or limited or flex limited or El 3.5 Ecoboost

Ok soo. it's 2018, Ford has the ten speed automatic transmission... and it's not in the flex... Why? Come on Ford.

You forgot checking weather and movie times that go through SiriusXM

Your videos are always pointing the positives, but I wish you'd point out some of the negatives too. Your videos are unique, don't get me wrong, but don't hesitate to let us know your honest opinion i.e. those headrests were in the way during your visibility assessment, so say that, and then tell us if they are manually or powered removal. I'll stay Gold, but know that this is a lingering thought of mine, Sir.

Have you reviewed honda cars hmmm

who no daytime LEDs ?

curious how well the 12 speaker sounds! that one seemed fine! led headlights should be standard for this. gah halogen lamps are simply outdated and looks uber cheap. like the flex..... good powerplant

Getting real range rover from certain angles of this thing's exterior.

I'd take a free Flex over a free Aston Martin DB11 any time

This would be the perfect car for Lil Tay...

To change the gear manually. When there used to be stick shifts and you would down shift to go faster or shift up to save on gas. Basically it makes driving fun again with more ability to control your transmission. Like paddle shifters....

Am I the only one that thinks this interior looks dated? Like one full generation older? :/

I have to admit, when the flex first debut I was excited to see where Ford would take this model. Years later... I'm still waiting. Extremely outdated boxy vehicle that aged poorly over the years.
