Fantastic... just the kind of info I was hoping for. I'll review it further tonight!



Endeavor to persevere.

Another thing I just remembered.

If you fully stow the 3rd row seats, the 'floor' is notoriously easy to crack in the forward half.

It's just plastic & too much focused weight will crack them.
Both of ours are cracked, not a huge deal, but just some thing to note.

I've seen a few guys on the Flex forum brace them successfully, just depends how much work you may want to put into it.

I loved mine. It held everything I needed for two people to shoot and vend for a weekend.

The only reason I sold it was because it was pushing 200k miles and I just wanted something different.

This has been my experience as well, they also drive nice.

Much more car-like, considering its size.

We did 24 hrs straight through from Houston to LA, with our 2 kids. Never missed a beat.

Slightly better MPG would be nice, but it is a big, heavy SUV (insurance classed as a wagon. in our case).

If you do a lot of city driving, don't expect to break out of the teens.

Straight highway, mid to high 20s.

We love ours. It is a 2013 with just over 100k miles. It has every options available on it including the freezer/fridge. It’s comfortable and rides great. We towed our boat with it until we sold it. Wife still love driving it.

We did get an extended warranty. It had an issue with the timing chain that they fixed.
