I suggest the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75679 for the trailer hitch receiver. This is confirmed to fit your 2015 Ford Flex. It's a Class III, 2 inch receiver which will give you more options on choosing a carrier. I've linked an install video for you.

The most popular wheelchair carrier we have is the Flint Hill Goods 30" x 50" Wheelchair Carrier w/ 48" Ramp - 2" Hitch # FHG77ZR. It has a 48-inch-long ramp to help load the chair.

You should verify with your owner's manual that the Flex is rated high enough and can support the weight of the carrier and chair. I checked an online copy and it states the maximum tongue weight is 500 pounds. You will have to make sure that the weight of your wheelchair plus the 80 pounds of the carrier does not exceed the 500 pounds.
