A good roof rack option is a Rhino Rack system. This has part numbers # RRVA150B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK188. This is a low-profile roof rack with aero bars and a t-track mounting system. This also uses a fit kit with hooks custom-fit for your 2014 Ford Flex naked roof.
When roof rack clamps are custom fit for your naked roof, they usually have a set crossbar distance. The Rhino Rack Roof Rack fit kit # DK188 has instructions to be mounted 31-1/2" apart. That wont work with the Curt basket... view full answer...

Yakima is pretty particular about where you install their roof racks on the roofs of vehicles. I cannot safely recommend you install the bars in a different location than what they recommend. This would void the warranty of the rack and would cause it to have an unknown capacity. Part of why they recommend certain areas of the roof for their racks is based on the structural strength of the roof.
Typically with roof racks installed the wind noise created is loud enough that most people... view full answer...
You will need a roof rack on your 2009 Ford Flex to be able to use a roof mounted cargo box.
For a Yakima roof rack you will need: Yakima TimberLine Towers, # Y33TR, RoundBar SL Adapter # Y03536, crossbars # Y00409, and 2 sets of Landing Pad 11, # Y00233.

The Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit, # RM-15267 is a confirmed fit for both the 2013 and 2014 Ford Flex, all models. Because this kit wires your vehicle as a combined system, (separate wiring for vehicle needed) you will want to use a brake light relay, # RM-88400. When using a supplemental braking system depressing the brake pedal in your towed car every time you apply the brakes in your RV the car's brake lights illuminate. When the engine is off, as is the case... view full answer...
I took a look at an online version of your owner's manual and I found on page 255 it states the towing capacities for a 2014 Ford Flex which depends on the powertrain and towing class that you purchased. This varies from 2,000 lbs to 4,500 lbs. Since you have the Class III towing package your vehicle is rated for 4,500 lbs of towing but you will want to verify that in your owner's manual, as well as taking a look for any specific towing instructions.
Since we recommend using a Weight Distribution... view full answer...

Yes, I can explain what the tip up brackets are. They are the brackets that are mounted to the top of the trailer frame and that the chains, at the end of the spring bar in a weight distribution system, are attached to. The tip up brackets are lowered, the chains are attached and then the brackets are tipped up, applying pressure to the spring bars, which in turn distributes weight to the trailer and vehicle axles and reduces the tongue weight on the ball mount and trailer hitch. This weight... view full answer...
There are a few different factors that you will want to look at in your situation. The first factor to consider is the weight of the gear you plan on carrying. I found a copy of the owner's manual for your 2013 Ford Flex and I found that the roof weight capacity of your Flex is 100 lbs and the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch is 200 lbs. If you plan on carrying more than 100 lbs of gear and luggage, a hitch mounted cargo carrier may be your best option, it is also the more economical... view full answer...
When a manufacture states that you may not use tire chains on a vehicle in the manual it is for good reason. There is more than likely an important component of the vehicle too close that the chains will come into contact with and do not have the clearance for, whether it is something like the frame or strut, it is just not a good idea.
If you still want to proceed with tire chains then, I have linked all the tire chains that fit your size tire. I would recommend a chain like Thule's... view full answer...
I have the perfect roof rack system for your 2019 Ford Flex.

This is also an extremely quiet, aerodynamic system that features rubberized Vortex strips on the bars that will dramatically reduce wind noise and drag. The anodized aluminum construction will resist corrosion... view full answer...
For a solution that will give you rim protection, better clearances than cables and will give much better traction you would want the K-Summit Chains part # TH02230K66 for your tire size 255/45/20.
Cables don't have rim protection so they would not be your ideal solution. view full answer...
Since you said you are from California we are aware of the fact that there are several areas near you that require you to have tire chains in the vehicle, and in certain conditions have them installed on the car.
What you are going to have to do is contact a local Ford dealer in the area you plan to travel that requires chains and ask them what you are to do.
They may tell you that you can use a set of Class S chains that don't require as much inner wheel clearance like the Titan Chains... view full answer...
