Expert Reply:
Roadmaster does offer direct connect style base plate kits that fit your 2013 Ford Flex like the part # RM-524435-5 but the part # RM-524435-4 does require you use the crossbar.
Either will work great with the Roadmaster Sterling part # RM-576 that you have without the included crossbar.
