Hey Bill, thanks for reaching out, although I'm sorry to hear about the circumstances.
The Roadmaster Base Plate Kits # RM-524435-4 and # RM-524435-5 for your 2013 Ford Flex connect differently enough that the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000 unfortunately won't work with the direct-connect base plate kit. Instead, you'll need to use the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screen # RM-4750.
I know it won't be pleasant (I hate confrontations), but you're going to need to see if... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
Yes, you are due to the power draw from the trailer. The dedicated 12v line that comes with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C56343 pulls power from your Ford's battery to operate the lighting functions on your trailer. This harness will power both incandescent and LED lights without having any issues like blinker's running faster.
The Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness item # HM11140275 pulls it's power directly from the rear lights. If your trailer has a... view full answer...
Hey Gustavo, we have the etrailer hitch part # e52AR that is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Ford Flex with dual exhaust. This would be a really great option for carrying a bike rack or towing a trailer. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha part # 118472 which installs easily. Both of these do not require modifications to the vehicle. Do you have a bike rack already? view full answer...
I reached out to my contact at Blue Ox regarding the Base Plate Kit # BX2645 and he said on your 2018 Ford Flex the base outlets should extend past the grille about 1 to 2 inches. Then with the bracket arms plugged in you are looking at an extension of around 5 inches.
I have attached the complete install manual below that you can check out as well. view full answer...
Hello Brandon,
I am sorry to hear that the person before you screwed up the wiring, very frustrating. Since your 2015 Ford Flex has the factory tow package you are going to want the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C55384, this is going to give you a 4 flat on the vehicle. For a 7 way and 4 flat you will want Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way and 4-Pole Flat Connectors # C55774.

Yes, your wheel and tire size is perfectly fine to use with the Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1 that you referenced. At one point Roadmaster listed this as only fitting up to 16 inch wheels but we've found that's not true currently. The vehicle in the review video I attached has much bigger wheels than that. view full answer...
To use weight distribution on a boat trailer with a pole tongue you will need to use a pole tongue adapter like # RP58393 or # RP3280. The lighter duty RP3280 cannot be used with Reese SC systems or dual-cam sway control. The higher capacity RP58393 can be used with Reese SC systems but not dual-cam sway control.
In order to mount the adapter you will need to square off the tongue where the adapter will need to mount, making it a box frame in that area. This requires a qualified professional... view full answer...

Just to make sure we're on the same page, you're asking about how far the bike rack sticks out from the rear of your Flex, correct? view full answer...
Hello Kevin, thanks for reaching out. An air suspension kit like the Air Lift # AL60821 is a great option for the 2018 Ford Flex Limiterd AWD since it allows for adjustability. If you want to skip over that, the next best option is the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFRFLX. These will help to support the rear end by reducing sagging and improving stability. They have a 3,000 lb capacity so they will make a noticeable difference. The only downside of Timbrens is they can make... view full answer...
Hello Michael. The brake controller wire does need to be on its own pin. The standard 7-way wiring has that pin on the bottom right pin if you were standing behind the truck looking at the socket. The diagram below will show you the typical pin location for the brake wire.
With electric brakes, it will not matter if the controller is OEM or aftermarket, because both types of controllers are electric brake compatible. The only time you could potentially run into issues with the OEM controllers... view full answer...
While your 2020 Ford Flex may not have the raised side rails to mount a roof rack, I have the perfect solution for you to carry your cargo box.
I recommend using the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA150B-2 with the Rhino Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA and Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof # DK188; this kit clamps into the door jams on your 2020 Ford Flex and will provide you with a roof rack solution that looks just... view full answer...
Hey John! I checked with Inno and you're going to want to go with the longer 54" crossbars item # INXB138-2. The shorter 45" Inno Crossbars item # INXB115-2 only have usable lengths of 38-7/8" in the front and 37-1/2" in the rear.
You will also need the Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars item # INXS150 to attach the crossbars to the raised rails on your 2011 Ford Flex. view full answer...
Hey Douglas, I attached a link to the install instructions for the Yakima Skyline roof rack part # Y32NB that fits your 2014 Ford Flex that you were looking at for you to check out. What are you planning on carrying on your roof?
You might need to scroll down a bit to get to the instructions by the way. view full answer...
Hey Nicholas, to get replacement mounting hardware you're going to need # RHK. Just enter the hitch's part number (13551) in the "Hitch Item Number" box, finish checking out, and you'll be all set. view full answer...
Hi Jack; it looks like it will based on the holes in the frame and the installation instructions. However, according to Curt the # C13110 will only fit dual exhaust models. If you have a single exhaust 2010 Ford Flex you need the Curt # 13551 instead. view full answer...
Tongue weight will depend on how you load it. I would check the Flex owners manual to see what the weight distribution capacity of the vehicle is. Some vehicles cannot use weight distribution systems. I am not sure on the Flex, but to be safe, I would strongly recommend checking the owners manual.
Some of the aftermarket hitches we have do allow use of weight distribution system and some do not. The ones that do, do not allow an increase in tow capacity. So I would imagine if your factory... view full answer...
Hello, Will. For your 2014 Ford Flex I recommend the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25. I do recommend that you put a 6-pin plug # RM-910030-7 on the front of your Flex if you haven't already. view full answer...
Hello Eric. For your 2014 Ford Flex V6 dual exhaust I recommend the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e52AR. This has a 2" receiver and is rated for 4,000 lbs towing and 400 lbs of tongue weight. This is also the most affordable hitch option available for your vehicle. I have included a link to our install video for you below. view full answer...
