The Draw Tite hitch part # 75679 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Ford Flex with the EcoBoost engine and is the hitch I recommend. I recommend this hitch because it has the shortest install times listed and has plenty of towing capacity. I attached an install video link to this page for you to check out as well.

If you were planning on doing some towing then for trailer wiring you'd want the part # 118472 as this installs without requiring any splicing or hardwiring.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
