Speedin Bob Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 New to this forum. Been around the SVT Lightning/Harley Davidson F150 circles since 1999 and a Ford guy for a long time. Wife and I are looking to buy a Ford Flex and, naturally, an EcoBoost would be the preferred power plant. I'll search where I can but please excuse noob questions in advance. Cheers, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadfoot Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Welcome to the site! The Flex is nice and roomy inside, and is actually shorter than the SHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crush Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Welcome. I love my EcoBoost SHO. It's absolutely a thrill to drive. No regrets. I have driven a Flex for work before and let me tell you, you sure can put a lot of stuff in those. I was shocked how much it would carry. I really enjoyed driving it too. My one comment is "pay attention to the ergonomics". I drove it over 1,000 miles and had trouble getting comfortable. When I got the seat right, I couldn't get the steering wheel right. If I got the steering wheel in a good spot, I couldn't get the seat right. This wasn't a space thing either, more just a positioning problem. This was a couple years ago so maybe ford has fixed this but I just wanted to throw it out there. I hope you get an EcoBoost soon.

Speedin Bob Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 The search is over and an Ecobooooost Flex is in the Stable. Specifically, a 2011 Tuxedo Black Titanium edition w/ 25K miles. Figuring out all the bells and whistles. Baby seat, old school Ford Motorsport license plate frame, and Social Distortion 'Skelly' hitch cover for garnish. Gratuitous imagery.
