Used 2013 Ford Flex SEL

The 2013 Ford Flex SEL Sport Utility 4D is one of Ford’s most distinctive vehicles from the early 2010s. It is a crossover SUV with bold design and strong functionality. It also offers a refined driving experience. With its unmistakable boxy shape and limo-like size, the Flex was built to move people in comfort. It also offered smart tech and a surprising sense of style. The SEL trim blends style and practicality with fog lamps, deep-tinted windows, and heated power mirrors. It gives the Flex a premium look while keeping its family-friendly feel. The most celebrated feature of the Flex is undoubtedly its interior layout. The boxy design that defines its looks also translates to a cabin with exceptional space and usability. With seating for up to seven passengers, the Flex truly provides adult-friendly space in all three rows, something few midsize SUVs can match. Ample storage compartments and a flat load floor give families abundant room for luggage, groceries, or gear. The combination of a high driving position, clear visibility, and easy access to the third row makes it one of the most practical family haulers of its time. Comfort is another key strength. The cloth-covered front bucket seats, with power adjustments, heated surfaces, and lumbar support for both driver and passenger, offer commendable long-distance comfort. Rear passengers enjoy generous legroom and a bench seat that folds flat to boost cargo flexibility. The tri-zone automatic climate control helps everyone choose a comfortable temperature. Quiet cabin insulation also makes the cabin more relaxing. Under the hood, the 2013 Flex SEL features a 3.5-liter Ti-VCT V6 engine producing 287 horsepower and 254 lb-ft of torque. This engine delivers a confident acceleration experience, especially when merging or overtaking on highways. Mated to a 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, the Flex strikes a good balance between power and efficiency. Its car-like handling is a big surprise. It turns smoothly and stays steady in corners, despite its full-size SUV size. Fuel economy is rated at 17 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. An 18.6-gallon fuel tank supports long-distance travel. With a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds, the Flex can tow small trailers or recreational loads. This adds versatility for active families. Equipped with an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system, the 2013 Flex SEL gives more confidence on slippery roads. Whether facing rain, snow, or gravel, the AWD traction provides surefooted control without compromising the smoothness of the ride. The power steering’s precise feedback also makes the Flex easy to handle both on city streets and open highways. Technology takes center stage in the 2013 model, which benefitted from Ford’s interior refresh that year. The updated MyFord Touch system with a color touchscreen made accessing navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and entertainment much more intuitive. Drivers also enjoyed hands-free calling, smartphone integration, and voice-controlled features. The audio system supports AM/FM radio, MP3 playback, satellite radio, and CDs. This keeps passengers entertained, no matter their age or taste.
