We’ve heard all the excuses before, from complaints about refinement, Jurassic underpinnings and muscle-straining inputs to shopworn stereotypes about the people [...]

2013 Ford Flex gets funkier with new nose, updated power and tech

Ford is certainly embracing the weirdness of its Flex crossover – at least, in terms of design – for its 2013 model year refresh.

According to Mustangs Daily, owners who opt to have TracKey installed at their localFord dealer will have to endure a three-year, 36,000-mile powertrain warranty. That’s noticeably shorter than the five-year, 60,000-mile warranty that comes standard on the Mustang Boss [...]
