I think the Flex would be fine, but I would also consider a Mid-Size SUV (Ford Explorer) for instance.

Ford AWD system is pretty neat. It will bias 100% torque to the rear axle as needed, and will do it before an wheelslip is perceived.
I would like to get an EcoBoost Flex! One of my favorite cars out there. I would not hesitate to tow at its max rating. It has as much payload as most 1/2-ton pickups and the row rating is independent of passenger, so you can tow 4500 pounds even when loaded.
