A great option for your 2019 Ford Flex is the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA150B-2, with the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA, and the Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs # DK188.

These crossbars are capable of withstanding up to 165-lbs, feature rubberized vortex strips in the top channel that drastically reduces wind noise and drag, and also has a top channel in the cross bars so you can add channel mounted accessories and carriers.

I also recommend upgrading the plastic lock cores that come with the cross bars, with the Rhino-Rack Locking Endcaps for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA-LEC4. These locking cores are all-metal for added security for your roof mounted accessories, and includes 2 keys.

There isn't a safe way we could recommend installing the Rhino Rack towers and fit kit to a set of Malone crossbars. So for your 2015 Ford F-150 with a naked roof you'd need the part numbers #RRVA150B-2, #RRRLKVA, and #DK427 for a rack.
