The 2016 Ford Flex is a daily driver that, in many ways, defies definition. Not quite a wagon nor an SUV, this is a full-size crossover not afraid to march to the beat of its own drum.

What's more, the Flex also happens to be a favorite of Autotrader pundit, Jabari Jones. Check the clip below to discover what he considers the top five reasons why one should consider purchasing this expectation-shattering vehicle:

It's admittedly rather tough to find fault with the Flex's entry-level engine. Coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission, this 3.5-liter V6 produces an impressive 287 horsepower and 254 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, while an all-wheel system is offered as an option on SEL and Limited trims.

We'd also note its terrific, 4,500-pound maximum tow rating. Properly equipped, the Flex has got the goods to stack up to some of the toughest of tasks.
