The Flex is not a suitable TV for what you want to do, IMHO... Ford limits the frontal area to 35 sq ft, even with the Class III towing package. They're basically telling you that your Flex will pull a 4500 lb boat, but that much box trailer, with it's wind resistance, is going to be too much.

Thanks for that towing guide. Since the car didn't come with the tow package I know it'll need to be retrofitted with a proper heavy duty hitch, trans cooler & I'd probably add air bags in the back. Depending on the trailer I'll either use electric brakes with a controller or surge brakes. I just can't tow in excess of 4800# and I should be able to convert / buy something that won't be on the hairy edge.
