2010 Ford Flex

Base MSRP $28,950

The Ford Flex is a crossover vehicle that actually has enough space for seven grownups and their gear -- and a 4500-lb towing capacity. Available all-wheel drive makes it a capable sport truck, though not a full-blown off-roader. The wide stance and aggressive three-bar grille give the Flex a street-smart presence as well. It's a well-rounded crossover that starts just under $30,000.
