Flex question

My wife has fallen in love with the Flex, so soon we may be an all Ford family getting rid of the Chrysler Town and Country. The question is, what year did Ford start offering the power folding third row seats.

She wants that and remote start. I need to know what years we can look for.

Thanks.

it was available in 2012 at least

I wouldn't get stuck on that feature. I played with them for about 10 minutes in Jan 2012 and the darn things have never been folded since. It's pretty much a gimmick. nifty, but nothing more than a gimmick.

now, the power fold middle row seats. that is a very very very worthwhile product. my twins ride in the 3rd row seat and they know to press the buttom to let themselves out. if you get the 6 seater version, both the drivers and passenger side middle row are powered. if you get the 7 seater version, only the passenger side is powered.


I highly recommend the Flex. We love ours.

Thank you for the reply, and thank you for your service! Depending on where your boat was built, I may have had a part in it. I retired from NNS in November 2011.

Hi 85lebaront2,

I checked out the Flex Order Guides and the PowerFold third row seats start with the 2011 model. Check out Ford's Certified Pre-Owned site to help you find the perfect Flex for your family: Used Ford Cars, Trucks, Crossovers, Hybrids, SUVs, Minivans & Vans | Ford Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles | Ford.com

Thank you, At least now I know what years we need to look at. I would love to be able to afford a new one, but, not any time soon unfortunately.
