Expert Reply:

I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Hitch, # 75679, for your 2014 Ford Flex. This 2 inch hitch receiver will bolt directly to your Flex's frame with no welding required. It has a tongue weight rating of 400 pounds and a maximum gross trailer weight rating of 4000 pounds.

If you are still in the market for a four bicycle rack, the Swagman Original # S64400, is quite popular with our Ford Flex owners. This economical option offers the highest weight capacity at 140 pounds.

If you will be carrying any women's, children's or alternative frame bikes, I recommend picking up the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT. Bikes with small or angled frames can be difficult to load on hanging style bike racks and they can cause ground clearance issues. This adapter will allow you to load the bikes easily and safely.

I have attached a couple videos for you to take a look at. It will give you a closer look at the products that I have mentioned.
