Does a 2010 Ford Flex have 3rd row seating?

The 2010 Ford Flex does include a third row, allowing seating for up to seven passengers depending on the configuration.


Seating configurations in the 2010 Ford Flex


The Flex is built as a three-row crossover, with a fold-flat third row and flexible options for the middle row seats. The second row can be configured as either a three-passenger bench or two captain's chairs, depending on trim and options, which affects overall passenger capacity.


The following layouts cover the typical configurations you’ll encounter on 2010 Flex models.



  • 7-passenger layout: front row 2 seats, second row 3-seat bench, third row 2-seat bench (2+3+2) — total seven.

  • 6-passenger layout: front row 2 seats, second row 2 seats (captain's chairs), third row 2-seat bench (2+2+2) — total six.


In all configurations, the third row is generally a 2-seat bench that folds flat to expand cargo space when not in use.


Third-row folding and cargo space


When the third row seats are folded, the Flex offers significantly more cargo space, making it versatile for passengers or gear. The seats typically fold independently or in a 50/50 split, depending on the specific trim and options.


What to verify when evaluating a used 2010 Flex


If you’re shopping used, confirm which seating arrangement is installed (bench vs. captain’s chairs in the second row) and whether the third row folds properly. Check the vehicle’s window sticker or owner’s manual for seating configuration and test both rows for ease of use and comfort.


Summary: The 2010 Ford Flex indeed features a third row as part of its three-row design, with flexible second-row options that can yield either seven or six total seats. The third-row seats fold to expand cargo space, providing adaptable seating and storage depending on your needs.
