Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2012 Ford Flex SEL without Ecoboost
Question:
Need to verify fit of this hitch on my Flex without ecoBoost as I prefer a less visible hitch. 13551 is not my preferred hitch. I would prefer installing a 13110 if fit is same. Could you advice, Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
For a 2012 Ford Flex without Ecoboost the correct Curt hitch is # 1355 or the etrailer hitch # e95KR. These hitches are very similar and either would be a great choice. The most popular choice is the Curt # 13551. I would recommend going with the one that costs the least.
Curt hitch # C13110 that you referenced is designed to fit the following models:
2009 - 2018 Ford Flex with Dual Exhaust
2010 - 2017 Lincoln MKT with EcoBoost
If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. it comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. For trailer wiring use # 118472 if the vehicle does not already have trailer wiring. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing a typical installation.
