What is the top of the line Ford Flex?
The top trim for the Ford Flex is the Limited, typically offered with all-wheel drive and a fuller set of premium features.
Across its production run from 2009 to 2019, the Flex was offered in three main trims—SE, SEL and Limited—with Limited representing the most fully equipped option. Availability of certain engines and technology varied by year, but the Limited consistently stood as the range’s high end.
Ford Flex Trim lineup
Below is a quick overview of the official trims Ford provided for the Flex, moving from entry level to the peak configuration.
- SE — base trim with the essentials
- SEL — mid-range trim with more features and choices
- Limited — top-of-the-line trim with premium features and options
In practice, Limited was the go-to choice for buyers seeking the most equipment and the best available drivetrain configuration, including AWD on many model years.
What defines the Limited trim
The Limited trim adds equipment and finishes that set it apart from SE and SEL, delivering more luxury-oriented comfort and technology. The exact package can vary by model year, but common elements include premium seating, enhanced interior trim, and upgraded technology.
- Leather-trimmed seating with premium upholstery
- Heated front seating and power-adjustable driver seat
- Tri-zone automatic climate control
- Upgraded infotainment system (often with a larger display and navigation in later years)
- Power liftgate and larger alloy wheels
- Available all-wheel drive (AWD) and, in some years, the EcoBoost engine
Overall, Limited represents Ford's most fully equipped Flex, with feature content designed for higher comfort, convenience, and capability.
Summary
The top-of-the-line Ford Flex is the Limited trim, offering premium features and, in many years, all-wheel drive. The model ran from 2009 to 2019, with feature sets that evolved over time, but Limited remained the pinnacle of the Flex lineup.
