For a 2019 Ford Flex with the factory tow package, you'd want to use the # 22292 brake controller wiring harness which would plug into the connector clipped to the back of the storage pocket located just to the right of the steering column as shown in the provided photo.

Going through the fire wall will either require finding an existing wire bundle that goes through the fire wall and using it or you will have to drill a new hole (careful not to drill through anything on the other side!) and then seal up the hole after routing the wires.
A lot of times, there are wires already going through the fire wall but from what customers have said in the past is that those locations are so tightly bundled that getting another wire through is very difficult. The... view full answer...
There is no modification required on the rear bumper/fascia when installing the Draw-Tite Class III 2 Inch Hitch, # 75679, on your 2009 to 2010 Ford Flex. The exhaust will be needed to be temporarily lowered to install the hitch. The hitch receiver will sit below the rear fascia.
I am sending a link to the installation instructions on the Draw-Tite Hitch. Also, a video link of the hitch being installed on a 2009 Ford Flex.
For towing you will also need the Curt Ball Mount, # C45010, and... view full answer...
If it is possible for a cargo mat to be both flexible and rigid then it would be a WeatherTech mat such as # WT41471. It can fold but it would not be as easy as you would want more than likely. It will want to go back to its flat shape. Out of the mats available they are all going to have about the same ability of folding up. All the cargo mats fit just the cargo area. view full answer...
The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part # 90885, and the Plug-In Adapter, part # 22292, is an excellent choice for your 2012 Ford Flex, with the factory tow package. The factory tow package will include a factory 4-Way and 7-Way connector at the rear of the vehicle.
This is a proportional brake controller which means it applies power to the trailers brakes in proportion to the vehicles braking action. It is our best selling controller, and is easy to use and set up. I am including... view full answer...
ST trailer tires should be inflated to their listed max psi when inflated cold (meaning prior to trip). The trip will increase the heat of the tire due to the road friction and ambient temperatures so you will have an increased psi reading, which is accounted for in the tire rating. It sounds like you are seeing similar temperature increases even at the reduced psi and just having the max psi reduced. The blowouts you were experiencing may be due to other factors like overloading the... view full answer...
Thank you for your recent purchase of Curt Class III hitch # C13110.
The two exhaust hanger bracket bolts shown in the linked video at the 2:04-minute mark certainly may be stubborn after 5 years in place. The spray-on lubricant you used, such as WD-40 or PB Blaster, may require some time and multiple applications to loosen the hardware. On your Edge it is hard to get that spray lubricant into the thread area where it needs to go.
The best suggestion I can give you is to borrow or rent... view full answer...
The Pro Series Trailer Jack Caster Assembly, # PS1400750340, will work for you as long as your jack has an inner tube with a 2 inch outer diameter.

I took a look at the installation instructions for the Curt Trunnion Style Weight Distribution System like part # 17300 and the only parts that require lubrication are the u-bolts on the spring bars and clevis pins in the hitch head.

The stop light switch wire you're looking for on your 2017 Ford Flex is a purple/white wire. This will connect to the red wire from the Tekonsha Primus IQ 90160 (replaced by the # 90885).
What you're going to do is cut that wire and then reconnect it using a butt connector, but also fitting that red wire into one end of the butt connect prior to crimping it down. view full answer...
The best option for isolating the RV wiring from the wiring of your 2014 Ford Flex is to use a magnetic set of tow lights. I recommend using the Roadmaster Deluxe Magnetic Tow Lights # RM-2100.

another option we offer for a 2014 Ford Flex is Roadmaster Universal Tow Bar Wiring # RM-154 kit.... view full answer...

To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking... view full answer...
