Expert Answers about Ford Flex


  • Parts Needed to Adapt Yakima Roof Rack for a Ford Taurus X to a 2012 Ford Flex
  • To install a roof rack system on your 2012 Ford Flex, you will need a set of SkyLine Towers, # Y53TR, a set of RoudBar Adapters, # Y03536, and the landing pads, # Y00233. Along with a set of Yakima CrossBars. Yakima recommends 58 inch CrossBars, # Y00409. If your previous Taurus X used 58 inch CrossBars, my research shows it most likely does, then you would not need to purchase new CrossBars.

  • The Reese Towpower 8508211 is like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # 90885 that we offer.

  • Class III Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2010 Ford Flex
  • We do have Class III trailer hitches for the 2010 Ford Flex, but the receiver and cross tubing of any of them will be visible below the rear fascia. The most popular hitch for the Ford Flex with single exhaust is the Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13551. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing a typical installation. If you plan to do some towing, I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with...

  • Recommendation for Carrying Gear and Luggage on a 2013 Ford Flex with Factory Roof Rails and Hitch
  • 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...

  • Recommended Replacement Brake Assemblies for Viking 2107 ST Pop-Up Camper
  • The American-Made Dexter # K23-103-104-00 brake assemblies would be absolutely the correct application for your Viking Pop-Up. The brake assemblies are compatible with 12 inch wheels used by your 145R80 tires. The installation is pretty easy if you're moderately handy. The video I've linked for you will provide an overview of what's involved. The video shows a larger brake assembly being installed, but the procedure for a 7 inch assembly would be pretty similar. Really the only difference...

  • Will the Derale Tube-Fin Engine Oil Cooler Kit # D15501 Fit a 2014 Ford Flex SE 3.5L V6
  • The Derale Tube-Fin Engine Oil Cooler Kit # D15501 comes with multiple thread sizes for the sandwich adapter. It looks like your 2014 Ford Flex SE with the 3.5L V6 engine has a 22 mm x 1.5 mm thread size which means you need to use the connector with the green mark on it. I have linked the installation details for you to reference as well.

  • Can One Reese Weight Distribution Shank Replace Another
  • Weight distribution shanks are essentially universal, so both the Pro Series Weight Distribution Shank # 63911 and the Reese Weight Distribution Shank # RP54970 will work as replacements for your current shank. That said, since you have a set up rated for 14,000 lbs you will need to use the Reese Shank # RP54970 because it is rated for 15,000 lbs whereas the Pro Series is only rated for up to 12,000 lbs. In regards to other hints, it would be nice if there was something we could offer,...

  • Will Thule One-Key Lock Systems Work With Thule Roof Racks
  • The Thule One-Key lock system will work with both the # TH7503 and # TH7504 roof racks you have. If you need 4 locks for each rack you can use part # TH450800 that has 8 lock cylinders.

  • What Does MORryde Cargo Tray MR32VR and Adjustment Kit part # MR34VR Fit
  • The MORryde Sliding Tray Height Adjustment Kit # MR34VR only can be used on MORryde sliding trays like the part # MR32FR. If that's what you have on your RV this would work great for you but otherwise you'd need to verify what you have and go from there. If you were asking if the # MR32FR could fit your RV you'd just need to verify your compartment is at least 90 inches deep and it would work great.

  • What Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Can I Use with a 22 Inch Clearance for a Trailer Jack Handle?
  • I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, the length of the Thule Gateway Pro 3 from the lower support to the end of the bike rack is about 23-1/2 inches. This will most likely interfere with the RV trailer handle (especially factoring in overhang for rear bike's pedals). In addition, there are no 3-bike trunk racks that will be less than the 22 inches you need for the clearance of the trailer handle for the jack. With that being said, I confirmed with my contact at Thule that the Thule...

  • Hitch that Fits 2011 Ford Flex and 2013 Volkswagen Routan SE
  • The hitch part # 13364 that you referenced does fit the 2013 Volkswagen Routan as long as it's a Canadian market model. For the 2011 Ford Flex you'd then want the part # e52AR if it has Dual exhaust and # e95KR for single exhaust and you'd be set. There isn't a hitch that fits both vehicles.

  • Brophy Stabilizer Bracket Recommendation for the Alumistinger Ball Mount
  • Yes, the Brophy Stabilizer Bracket # RHSB that you referenced should work well with the Alumistinger Ball Mount # AM3503. There should be plenty of clearance between the hitch opening of your hitch and the start of the curves of your Alumistinger ball mount part # AM3503. I attached a review video for the # RHSB for you to check out as well.

  • Does the Drive RV Stereo DR3200BT Have App Control
  • I do have an option for you but the Drive RV Stereo DR3200BT does not have app control. If you're looking for a model that does have app control I recommend the Drive RV Stereo part # 324-000148. I don't have the Google Play Store to test this out but I was able to find the "Drive BT" app on my iPhone in the Apple App Store.

  • Purpose of Blue Ox Tow Bar to Roadmaster Base Plates Adapter and Roadmaster Adapter Kit for Blue Ox
  • Each are an adapter. The Blue Ox Tow Bar to Roadmaster EZ5, MS, and MX Base Plates Adapter, # BX88185 lets you use your Blue Ox tow bar with Roadmaster base plates. This works with direct connect base plates such as the EZ5, MS, and MX series base plates, but don't work with crossbar style baseplate kits.

  • All of the available hitches for the 2010 Ford Flex including the Draw-Tite Class III, # 75679, will be at least partially visible at the rear of the vehicle. The receiver and the crosstube will be visible from the rear of the vehicle.

  • Cross Bars that Run Side to Side for 2010 Ford Flex with Factory Side Rails that Run Front to Back
  • The 58 inch bars are required because the included Crossroad adapters in the Thule Custom Fit Roof Rack 45058, have been discontinued. They extended out a little beyond the factory rails on your 2010 Ford Flex. They require that extra few inches in order to fit properly. The 50 inch bars would be too short for the width of your rails. As an alternative, I recommend the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401, 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420, as well as locks # TH450400. You will also need...

  • How to Carry 4 Snowboards on a 2011 Ford Flex
  • In order to carry 4 snowboards on the roof of your 2011 Ford Flex you will need a roof rack system and snowboard carrier. For a roof rack system that will work well for you I recommend the Yakima Roof Rack System part # Y00409, part # Y03536, and part # Y00147 for models with factory raised side rails. Any snowboard carrier than is compatible with the 1-1/8" diameter round crossbars on either of the above roof rack systems will work well for you. I recommend taking a look at the Yakima...

  • Cargo Carrier Option for 2009 Ford Flex That Allows Rear Hatch to Open
  • The Carpod Walled cargo carrier you referenced, part # M2205 would not allow you to open the rear hatch of your Ford Flex unless the front, rear and side walls were folded down. The only cargo carrier we offer that I can guarantee will allow you to fully open your rear hatch would be the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - 10 cu ft - 100 lbs # Y62VR. As the name implies, the carrier will swing away toward the passenger side of the vehicle enough so that the rear...

  • Trailer Wiring and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2009 Ford Flex
  • You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118472. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake...
