The 2019 Ford Flex is still available but it is the last year you can get this original three-row ride. Always fun, definitely more personable than many SUVs, the Flex offers three rows and 83.2 cubic feet of cargo space.

The Flex is the antidote to those who think they need a minivan, but don’t want one. It has all the qualities of a minivan and all the qualities of an SUV. There’s tons of today’s technology on board, and lots of today’s safety equipment offered. It comes in SE, SEL, and Limited trims.

To help drivers avoid trouble, there are three major systems: Active Park Assist,
BLIS, and Adaptive Cruise Control. Each one covers a different aspect of the driving process. Automatic systems and warning systems provide active assistance to busy parents behind the wheel.

One of the first to offer automatic parking, Ford has perfect Active Park Assist. It is the real deal. It helps you find a spot and put the Flex into it. Even if the kids are loud and complaining, you can stay calm and collected.

Of course, you also have a standard rearview camera to show you anything behind the car. With the BLIS rear cross traffic alert, an icon lights up in your mirrors to show you that a car is coming into your path. This gives you a chance to stop, avoiding a collision.

The BLIS blind spot system watches the sides of the Flex. If a car is in the driver’s blind spot, an icon lights up. This warning is easy to recognize. It can prevent the worst types of side swipe accidents. The staff at Wyatt Johnson Wyatt Johnson Ford dealer Nashville TN can show you how this system works.

A forward collision warning tells you when the car ahead is slowing or stopping. If you brake hard, Ford adds extra brake support. If the driver doesn’t brake at all, automatic emergency braking may try to intervene.

The Flex has Ford’s advanced Sync system for entertainment, communication and navigation. Android Auto adds the convenience of Android apps, especially Google maps. For those with iPhones, Apple CarPlay adds related apps and Apple maps. Either way, smart phone owners have navigational tools even if they don’t step up to a full navigation system.

The Intelligent Access key lets the family in with less fuss. Push button start allows the busy driver to leave the key in a pocket or purse. The liftgate has a power feature that includes an available hands-free mode.

With so much technology, parents and kids are sure to love the Flex. The spacious cabin and generous cargo capacity seal the deal. Find your Flex at Wyatt Johnson Ford dealer Nashville TN.
