I'll second the Duraflaps as they are longer and wider the the ones from Ford. The molded flaps from Ford look nice but aren't to functional really. You still get rock chips on the lower rear fenders about 6" from the rear bumper, the molded flaps just aren't long enough to stop this.

I purchased WeatherTech no-drill mud flaps from Anything Automotive they are very nice no logos abs construction and were very simple to install even with adding the inner well liners on the rear. I got them within a week of getting my F250 so far they are holding up well.

Watch the OEM type, I put them on my 2000 when it was new and over time, they cracked the paint underneith the flap which kind of defeated the purpose.

I did the same. WeatherTech makes quality products and I am pleased with these mud flaps on my 2015 F-250...they don't block every single thing but they knock down about 95% of the road gravel etc.

Looks like everyone is trying to steer me away from OEM. Well, I haven't ordered yet, I'll give it some thought. I really like the way the OEM looks, with the subtle logos.

Maybe I'll check out the weathertechs.

I have the OEM flaps on my 2012. They don't hang low enough to block the rocks from beating up my trailers. None of the moulded flaps do a very good job of blocking snow and salt from the inside feder lip. If you want OME Fords flat mud flaps do a better job.

I second the Dura Flaps. They are the only ones I put on my trucks. Protects the front of the trailers as well!

I have kind of a unique mudflap set up that imo protects very well. It was done by the previous owner so I don't know any brands but maybe others here do. They protect the paint and a trailer really well. Obviously I have the fender flares everyone was discussing.

I did the same for my truck. I am pleased with how they work. Might not protect against everything but does a decent job.

I looked at Duraflaps but thought they looked too big.

The duraflaps go up high in the wheel wheel, plus they do a very good job of blocking the inner fender.





They are big however they don't look big on the truck. I have the smaller rear flaps.
