Ford Flex Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Ford Flex in Canada? Start with the model year on the door sticker, then confirm the dedicated CURT Class 3 card before you borrow an Edge or Explorer story from the wrong shelf. We stock CURT 13551 for listed 2009 through 2020 Flex models without dual exhaust, and CURT 56343 as the matching four-flat harness for listed 2009 through 2019 Flex years. That is a clean three-row crossover hitch-plus-harness path when your year lander exists.

Parts-counter notes before you click buy

Topic What we tell shoppers
Dual exhaust 13551 excludes dual-exhaust Flex builds on the product path. If your Flex has dual tips, stop and ask us before you order that card.
Wiring versus hitch years 56343 lists through 2019. The hitch card reaches 2020. A 2020 Flex may need an honest wiring conversation if 56343 does not list that year.
Door sticker Hitch class is not the Ford tow limit. Buy to the lower number on the sticker or in the owner manual.
Family trailers and racks Many Flex owners tow modest trailers or carry bike racks. Class 3 still needs level ball-mount height and working lights.
Not Edge or Explorer Related Ford crossovers and SUVs keep their own buyers guides. Do not borrow those SKUs for a Flex door sticker.
Year landers We publish Flex hitch year pages for 2009 through 2020 on this store. Confirm the product-card years still match.
