It sounds like you might be looking for a roof rack for your 2018 Ford Flex that is both long and heavy duty. If that is the case then the best option for you is going to be dependent on your roof construction. If you have a bare roof then I recommend using the Yakima HD Crossbar System which is composed of part # Y01157, part # Y53TR, part # Y03541, and part # Y00233. If you have raised side rails then I also recommend the Yakima HD Crossbar System but this is composed of part # Y01157, part # Y03541, and part # Y33TR.
The Yakima HD Crossbar Systems both come with a 60" long crossbar that has a best in class 500 lb weight capacity though you will be limited by the vehicle's roof weight capacity. The Yakima HD Crossbar Systems also both have integrated tie-downs at the ends of each crossbar which is a very unique feature that no other systems have.
