GreyPony Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Has anyone thought of the possibility of a "Cargo" version of the Flex? Something to replace the Freestar Cargos. It's surprising actually how many cargos can be ordered. Think of all the small businesses that would like to have a new "Trendy" delivery or service vehicle, just to be noticed? The fact that it is lower than a Freestar, 67.6" versus the Freestar's 76.4, it could fit into many more garages even with a ladder on the roof. What are your thoughts? :stats: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-150 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I think there is a lot of opportunity for urban cargo trucks. Since the demise of the Safari/Astro, there isn't a lot for smaller, more fuel efficient delivery vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, those back doors are also huge. Hopefully those big doors don't make it too hard to get in & out of in a parking lot. I still think a slider option would make this great vehicle even better... Back OT, I think a cargo "panel van" would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the back doors aren't much bigger than the front doors, it shouldn't be an issue. I still would have preferred sliders though. It would have made an already unique package that much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine their size not being a problem in a parking lot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like an optical illusion due to the A-pillar cutout on the front door. Here are the two doors one above the other with no resizing: They look pretty much identical in width.

wildosvt Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 (edited) The Flex ALWAYS reminds me of the SuperVan2. But the cargo version makes me think of it even MORE! I loved that thing when I was a kid! Edited October 19, 2007 by wildosvt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regfootball Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 (edited) that orange flex looks really sweet to me. mmmmmmm someone ought to photochop that flex and move the door handle on the rear door up to the front and draw a sliding door track on the rear quarter so we can see what it would look like.

GreyPony Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 I think a photoshop of a Flex decked out in a cargo setup would be cool, maybe with a company logo on the side, just to give us an idea... Maybe with a ladder on the roof? :yup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
