Anyone have experience towing a 2012 Flex? If so what is the procedure?
I think Ford has revised their towing approval on some of their vehicles, is Flex still towable four down?
Considering the purchase of a Flex and would like to hear how others view that vehicle as a toad.

Thanks for your help.

I've been towing a 2011 Flex for a little over a year and love it. Very difficult to set up. Start the car, pit it in neutral turn key to first position and go.

I use an Air Force One brake.

Carl,

Acording to Motorhome Magazine's 2013 Dinghy Guide, Yes it is towable 4 down. However I noticed that it is about 4,500 lbs base weight.

And it rides like a limo, gets 24 MPG, seats six and has every possible option you could want. To top it off, it's priced right.

According to Ford it is with some instructions. See the site below
