Ford Taurus X/Ford Freestyle Ford Freestar
The Ford Flex is a full-size crossover SUV[3] manufactured and marketed by the Ford over a single generation, from 2009-2019 — as the successor to the Ford Taurus X
The Flex was introduced in 2005 as a concept vehicle based on the Ford D4 chassis architecture, a variant of the Ford D3 platform shared with the 2011-2019 Explorer and the Lincoln MKT; the latter a rebadged variant of the Flex.
From June 2008 until its withdrawal,[4] the Ford Flex was manufactured by Ford Canada at Oakville Assembly (Oakville, Ontario); the Flex and the Lincoln MKT were produced alongside the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX (today, Lincoln Nautilus). The Flex was marketed in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Middle East — with production reaching just over 300,000.
