Ford Flex Ecoboost Towing Capacity Calculator
Determine your Ford Flex's safe towing capacity based on model year, configuration, and load factors. This calculator follows international towing standards to ensure safe operation worldwide.
Key Factors Affecting Towing Capacity
Model Year
Towing capacity varies slightly by model year. 2013-2019 models have consistent ratings when properly equipped with the tow package.
Tow Package
The factory tow package includes upgraded radiator, transmission cooler, and wiring harness. Without it, towing capacity is significantly reduced.
Passenger & Cargo Weight
Every pound inside your vehicle reduces available towing capacity. This includes people, luggage, and accessories.
Terrain & Altitude
Mountainous regions and high altitudes reduce engine performance and cooling efficiency, requiring reduced towing capacity.
