Reviewed: 2013 Chevy Traverse, The Modern Day Family Truckster

For 2013 Chevrolet refreshed the Traverse, it's large Crossover vehicle that competes with the Dodge Durango, Ford's Flex and Explorer, Honda's Pilot and Toyota's Venza.

Reviewed: 2013 Ford Flex

Back in 2009 the Ford Flex was the first car we reviewed when we rebooted the blog, now three and a half years later, Ford has refreshed the Flex and we want to see how far it has come. When we reviewed back in '09 we were blown away by how good it was, does it still remain that way? And, can we explain why such a great Crossover hasn't had mainstream acceptance. Watch the video to find out.

Ford Flex Follow Up

Back in March when we had the Ford Flex in for review, out major issue with it was it's lack of power, and stated at the time that the EcoBoost motor would probably answer that. Well, yesterday, we had a chance to try it out. Thanks to the Mark and Joe at the Movement Design Bureau we attended Ford's 2010 Model Year Event. There, we had an opportunity to drive the EcoBoost Flex on the high speed track at the Dearborn test track. Here is the video of that.
