• Availability of High Capacity Hitch for 2013 Flex hitch
  According to my research, the maximum towing capacity of the 2013 Ford Flex is 4500 lbs. The maximum capacity trailer hitch any of our vendors offer for the 2013 Flex with the dual exhaust is 4000 lbs, as you mentioned. The # 13551 hitch you mentioned is unfortunately only a fit for single exhaust Flex models, as the muffler on the passenger side would interfere with the hitch installation. The 4,300lb trailer weight you mentioned is likely a dry weight, which would not include any gear,...

• Hitch and Recommended Towing Accessories for 2014 Ford Flex
  For the 2014 Ford Flex with dual exhaust, I'd recommend the US made Curt Class III hitch, part # C13110. If you'll be towing with the hitch as opposed to just using it for a hitch mounted accessory, you'll need a few other items to complete your towing system. For a trailer wiring harness, use # 118472 or # 74682 if your Flex is equipped with the tow package. For a ball mount, I'd go with # 2753 which includes the hitch pin. For a trailer ball, use # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 63845...

• Recommendation on a Hitch, Wiring Harness, Transmission and Oil Cooler for a 2011 Ford Flex
  I have a hitch that will work on your 2011 Ford Flex with single exhaust. The Draw-Tite Max Frame Class III Hitch, # 75679, is a custom-fit trailer hitch that is designed for the 2011 Ford Flex. The hitch has a 400 lbs tongue weight capacity and a 4000 lbs gross trailer weight capacity. I recommend this hitch over the Curt hitch, # 13551, because the Draw-Tite hitch has an easier installation than the Curt hitch on the 2011 Ford Flex. The Draw-Tite hitch uses a no drill installation that...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2012 Ford Flex SEL without Ecoboost
  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...

• What is Sway Control and Can it Be Used with 2011 Ford Flex
  Trailer sway control is a type of device designed to either prevent or reduce trailer sway when on the highway. A very common style is the frictions way control like the # 83660 which attaches to the tow vehicle and the trailer and uses friction between the two when the trailer turns to try and reduce sway caused by high winds or passing semi trucks.

• Weight Distribution System Recommendation for 2015 Ford Flex
  As long as you have a trailer hitch installed on your 2015 Ford Flex that is rated for use with WD systems you would want to go with the # RP66082. This system has a tongue weight range of 200 to 600 lbs and features the only sway control on the market designed to fight sway before it starts. For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286. Our current hitches, # 13551 and # e95KR are not rated for weight distribution.

• Tongue Weight Capacities of Trailer Hitches Available for 2016 Ford Flex
  As long as the weight of the carrier plus the weight of the wheelchair/scooter comes in under the tongue weight capacity of the hitch being used on the vehicle, the fact that the Flex has a unibody won't be relevant.

As long as no extenders or adapters are used that adds distance...
