All the parts you need to install the hitch is included with the Curt Hitch receiver # 13551. This hitch receiver is for a Ford Flex with dual exhaust. You will need the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness to allow you to hook up to your camper. The wiring that I recommend for your 2011 Ford Flex is # C55774. This gives you the option of using either a 4-pole connector or a 7-Pole connector. You also need a ball mount like # C74WR for an 8000-lb capacity or the # WSFH2-2 for a 10,000-lb capacity with a built-in scale. I like getting Aluminum ball mounts because they don't rust away over time. Depending on what size coupler your camper has, you can choose between these different sizes.
1-7/8" Ball # 19256
2" Ball # A-90
2-5/16" Ball # 63840
I have included some videos to help if needed.
