How much can a Ford Flex tow?
My husband and I are looking to buy a new car, and we’ve got our eyes on the Ford Flex. We own a little camper (it weighs about 3,000 pounds) that we like to take to the mountains each summer. Will the Ford Flex be able to haul our camper?

There’s definitely some competing information online, so it’s good that you’re doing thorough research! Here’s the bottom line: the base model of the Ford Flex has a towing capacity of about 2,000 pounds—just short of your camper’s weight. But, if you equip the Class III Trailer Tow Package from Ford, you’ll be able to haul up to 4,500 pounds—plenty to pull your camper!
So, if you want to guarantee that you’ll have enough towing capacity for your trailer (as well as jet-ski trailers, small boats, etc.), you need to upgrade your Flex with the Trailer Tow Package.
Though the cost to equip the package varies by area, most auto malls have it listed at $570. Once you’ve got it installed, you’re all set—happy camping!
