Just picked up a 2013 Ford flex ecoboost Saturday so excited!

Waiting for my sct x4, 4bar map sensor, spark plugs and get my custom tune from Torrie, and waiting on H&R lowering Springs. I will post more when I start installing all the goodies.

Sweet, great lookin' ride!  I do hate to be a downer, but I will post this anyway.  It would be best to have an extended warranty at least for the engine.  Why?  We have had more than our share of Flex EB engines biting the dust.  Not so much on the SHO or XSport, and no clue why the difference.

Anyways, on to fun times :thumb:  Looking forward to your build!
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Welcome. You'll love it. If you want the roof black think about vinyl wrapping it.

I first looked at the explorer sports but once I got in a flex and drove it I loved it, I like that it sits low and has more room then the sports

I was gonna look into vinyl wrapping the roof. I feel like paint or wrapping will be a pain with the Vista roof
