I am thinking about going to look at a ford flex within the next few days. Does anyone one here tow with one? Do you guys think it would make a good tow vehicle?
2009 Ford Flex SEL 3.5 L V6 detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/cto/5756677273.html I did email and ask if it has a tow package and it does.
Tow rating is 4500lbs
Is FWD instead of AWD does this matter for towing?
here is some information I copy/pasted from the manual
Class III towing
Maximum GCWR, what is this?? gcwr?
9357 lb
Trailer weight
4500 lb
Tongue load
450 lb
For towing trailers up to 3500 lb (1588 kg), use a weight carrying
hitch and ball which uniformly spreads the trailer tongue loads through
the vehicle’s underbody structure. For towing trailers over 3500 lb
(1588 kg), up to 4500 lb (2042 kg), it is recommended to use a weight
distributing hitch to increase front axle load while towing.
