Flex Engine, Transmission, & Fuel Economy
Getting a vehicle that combines sportiness, style, performance, comfort, technology, and safety together has been made simple with the 2011 Ford Flex, available in Salem, VA. This diverse alternative to boring minivans and eyesore 7-passenger crossover SUVs features an excellently thought-out design and eye-catching looks that are sure to turn more than a few heads. And you can find this vehicle here at Berglund Ford, serving Roanoke, Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and Martinsville, VA.
Available in SE, SEL, Limited, and new-for-2011 Titanium trim levels and in front-wheel drive and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive drivetrains, the 2011 Flex comes powered by either a standard 3.5-liter Duratec V6 engine with dual overhead cams and advanced variable-cam timing technology that puts out 262 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque or an available 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin turbo charged direct-injected V6 engine that generates 355 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. Transmission choices include a 6-speed automatic transmission and a 6-speed SelectShift transmission with paddle shifters. Adding the Class III Trailer Tow Package (which includes a receiver hitch, wiring harness with 4/7 pin connector, tire mobility kit, electronic trailer sway control, and engine oil cooler for the Duratec engine) allows for towing of up to 4,500 pounds. Fuel economy ranges from 16 city/21 highway (EcoBoost) up to 17 city/24 highway (Duratec).

The PowerFold and tumble third-row 50/50 split-fold flat bench allows for 3 different configurations: 1) They can stay upright and allow for full 7-passenger seating capability, 2) you can press a button and fold the seat flat so you can transport cargo, or 3) you can turn the seat into a rear-facing one with a button push, making it the perfect seat to use during a picnic or tailgate.
