The BRK2016, BRK2019, and # BLU37TR (BRK2022) are different versions of the Patriot that have been released over time. The BRK2016 will work on your 2019 Ford Flex but it will be missing any updated features the current model has. You also won't be covered under the warranty if you are purchasing an older used model from someone else.

One of the nice features in the newer model is the sensor to detect pressure on the brake pedal. The sensor will detect pressure if the seat is too close or if the unit is tilted so if the unit is out of place the arm will retract and you get an error to fix it. This means you won't run into a problem where the brakes are constantly applied while driving.
