The 2014 Ford Flex Combines Luxury and Dependability

The 2014 Ford Flex is an interesting vehicle. Although it is a sport utility vehicle. It is different from the standard SUV that dominates the American car market. The 2014 Ford Flex has not been designed with the fun of mud-tearing adventures in mind as its main use. The 2014 Ford Flex is not just an SUV that's main use is towing boats. It is not even meant to be solely used for driving around construction yards or performing exciting off-road bounding. The 2014 Ford Flex is, instead, wholly focused on the simple task of transporting large groups of people over stretches of paved road. This is really what people purchase their SUVs in order to be able to do. It is surprising that more SUVs do not take this task as seriously as the Ford Flex 2014 because it pays off in spades with much improved performance quality where it matters.

The engine of this new Ford model has been designed to maximize its efficiency in the areas of fuel conservation of travel usage. There are two choices for people who want to buy a Ford Flex for their own use. The first choice is the standard V6 version. The second choice is a turbo version. The block on the standard option produces 287 HP and 254 lbs-ft when it comes to torque. The V6 engine of the turbo version of this vehicle puts out an amazing 265 HP with 350 lbs-ft of pulse-pounding torque. The biggest difference that separates these two attractive options is the efficiency they offer in terms of fuel usage. The standard version gets a couple more mpg than the turbo.

The 2014 Ford Flex has an extremely low center of gravity. This is extremely beneficial for drivers. The low gravity center makes it very hard to flip this vehicle or get caught in a dangerous roll over situation. Safety is a major selling point for these vehicles. The vehicle also sports big tires that give it an air of sturdiness and stability. This is a solid automobile. The suspension is calibrated in such a way that combats the usual feeling of floating down the road in one of these large SUV vehicles. The passengers will not feel like they are way too far in the sky and they will, instead, enjoy the comfortable smooth ride.

This vehicle offers many amenities that make riding in it a really fun experience. The best new feature is the refrigerator that comes standard as part of the rear console. It is big enough to store 12 cans comfortably and even keeps ice cream nice and cold. The mind races with the possibilities this refrigerator feature could finally bring to fruition. The Sync Communications bring even more luxuries to this SUV. The Sync controls the car's Bluetooth, MP3 player and hands free text messaging capabilities. The design of the instrument panel is similar to what was included in prior Ford Flex models.

This SUV can do more than just transport large numbers of people in great comfort. It is also a great vehicle for transporting cargo. The third and second rows of seats can easily be adjusted and laid flat to accommodate large quantities or bigger items of cargo. Four of five people can fit in this vehicle with no problem.

The great thing about the Flex is that it does nothing to try to be something that it isn't. It knows what it needs to do and sets out to do that job well. The Flex delivers what its customers really want and does not mess around with unnecessary gimmicks.
