For your 2017 Ford Flex you can use Draw-Tite Class III trailer hitch # 75679. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver and is rated for 400 pounds tongue weight and 4,000 pounds gross trailer weight.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

And for trailer wiring use # C59236 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle.
