• Measurements for Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator
  Hi Gary; with that 3-bolt pattern you need the # T63FR instead of the # DX83FR. This matches your DICO Aero 6000 measurements which can bee seen in the diagram below. It doesn't show your 2.70" measurement but if you use the good old Pythagorean theorem you can find that that measurement is the same as what you have.

• Which Curt Hitch 2016 Ford Flex with Dual Exhaust
  I wish there was, but if you look at the difference between the part # 13551 that you have and the Curt hitch that does fit the dual exhaust models part # C13110 you can see there's a pretty huge difference (see attached pictures). I wish I had a great solution for your scenario but the only way you'll be able to install a hitch on your 2016 Ford Flex with dual exhaust is going to be with the Curt hitch # C13110.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2012 Ford Flex SEL without Ecoboost
  For a 2012 Ford Flex without Ecoboost the correct Curt hitch is # 1355 or the etrailer hitch # e95KR. These hitches are very similar and either would be a great choice. The most popular choice is the Curt # 13551. I would recommend going with the one that costs the least. Curt hitch # C13110 that you referenced is designed to fit the following models: 2009 - 2018 Ford Flex with Dual Exhaust 2010 - 2017 Lincoln MKT with EcoBoost If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the etrailer...

• Parts Needed to Add a Towing Package to a 2016 Ford Flex
  According to my research you can tow up to 4,500 lbs with your 2016 Ford Flex if you have the Class III Trailer Towing Package (which looks like it includes a 4/7 Way wiring harness, hitch receiver, trailer sway controller, and an engine oil cooler). If you don't have the Class III trailer towing package then you are limited to 2,000 lbs. We have compatible parts to "give" you the Class III trailer towing package but you will need to double check with Ford to make sure that it will still...

• Recommendation on a Hitch, Wiring Harness, Transmission and Oil Cooler for a 2011 Ford Flex
  I have a hitch that will work on your 2011 Ford Flex with single exhaust. The Draw-Tite Max Frame Class III Hitch, # 75679, is a custom-fit trailer hitch that is designed for the 2011 Ford Flex. The hitch has a 400 lbs tongue weight capacity and a 4000 lbs gross trailer weight capacity. I recommend this hitch over the Curt hitch, # 13551, because the Draw-Tite hitch has an easier installation than the Curt hitch on the 2011 Ford Flex. The Draw-Tite hitch uses a no drill installation that...

• Trailer Hitch for a 2010 Ford Flex with or without Dual Exhaust
  You are correct, dual exhaust is exhaust on each side of the vehicle, not a dual tip on just one side. But the hitch fits either style. The installation instructions for Curt trailer hitch # C13110 actually do mention dual exhaust. You have to scroll further down to the plain black and white version of the instructions to see the note which appears before step 1. The note says: The Ford Flex Ecoboost and the Lincoln MKT models have dual exhaust. Repeat instruction for passenger side. This...

• Tongue Weight Capacities of Trailer Hitches Available for 2016 Ford Flex
  As long as the weight of the carrier plus the weight of the wheelchair/scooter comes in under the tongue weight capacity of the hitch being used on the vehicle, the fact that the Flex has a unibody won't be relevant. When Curt designed the # C13110 for dual exhaust models and the # 13551 for single exhaust models, they did extensive testing to ensure that the vehicles could handle the tongue load the hitches were rated for. As long as no extenders or adapters are used that adds distance...

  Thanks for the picture! The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75679 you were looking at will measure 12-3/4" from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver when installed on your 2009 Ford Flex, so it will give you a little more ground clearance as your current hitch measures 12" based on the picture you provided.

• Hitch and Recommended Towing Accessories for 2014 Ford Flex
  For the 2014 Ford Flex with dual exhaust, I'd recommend the US made Curt Class III hitch, part # C13110. If you'll be towing with the hitch as opposed to just using it for a hitch mounted accessory, you'll need a few other items to complete your towing system. For a trailer wiring harness, use # 118472 or # 74682 if your Flex is equipped with the tow package. For a ball mount, I'd go with # 2753 which includes the hitch pin. For a trailer ball, use # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 63845...

• What is Sway Control and Can it Be Used with 2011 Ford Flex
  Trailer sway control is a type of device designed to either prevent or reduce trailer sway when on the highway. A very common style is the frictions way control like the # 83660 which attaches to the tow vehicle and the trailer and uses friction between the two when the trailer turns to try and reduce sway caused by high winds or passing semi trucks.

• Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessories for 2017 Ford Flex with Dual Exhaust
  For the dual exhaust-equipped Flex, you'll want to use the Curt Class III, part # C13110, as the # 13551 isn't a fit for models with a dual exhaust. If you'll be towing with your hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like part # C55774, a ball mount like # 40346 used in the rise position, a pin and clip like # PC3 and a trailer ball. For a 1-7/8 inch ball, use # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.

• Availability of High Capacity Hitch for 2013 Flex hitch
  According to my research, the maximum towing capacity of the 2013 Ford Flex is 4500 lbs. The maximum capacity trailer hitch any of our vendors offer for the 2013 Flex with the dual exhaust is 4000 lbs, as you mentioned. The # 13551 hitch you mentioned is unfortunately only a fit for single exhaust Flex models, as the muffler on the passenger side would interfere with the hitch installation. The 4,300lb trailer weight you mentioned is likely a dry weight, which would not include any gear,...
