They must have updated their design as I know they weren't compatible when I shopped them a couple of years ago. Good to hear as they are a great product too.

I got the Ford ones when I bought the truck - came with the truck from the factory build... I never needed liners until I moved to the great north. Glad I have them, but if I didn't I would choose the husky liners. Cleaning the truck this past "spring" or June after the snow stopped was a pain and I believe the better coverage would have made that chore easier.

Not like I take a toothbrush to the truck, but just the chunks of mud from the snow, slush, and break up is still very time consuming.

I bought a pair at the dealer today. $159 plus tax.
Cheaper than ebay once I figure the shipping and exchange rate.
These should do the trick.

My truck had the Ford factory liners when I purchased it.

Although they help, I still hate getting mud and packed snow up under the bed. Just last week while elk hunting we were in mud and snow to our eyeballs. I've been cleaning and cleaning and cleaning and cleaning. Even using a pressure washer under there and still can't get it all off. I hate walking on my driveway right now. Mud ***** all over the place.

After my last elk hunt I had to shovel the mud off driveway.
It will be frozen solid when I go back in December so that will be good.

I feel like these could cause more harm than good in areas that use a lot of salt in the winter. Does salt get lodged in between where the liners mount?

In talking w/ the reason the front tires, on my truck setup, is 75 lbs. is due to the load on them. I weight the truck off the lot as follows:

• Frt axel. 5,189 lbs
• Rr axel 3,769 lbs
• GVWR 8,949 lbs today
• Max GVWR is 14,000 lbs.

So the rear are set at 65 lbs until it is loaded up and then the progression noted by BF Goodrich comes into play. I have the factory heavy tow package. I now understand the other prior post about going from 70 lbs to 75 lbs as this might have something to do with the heavy front end.

You don't have to drill the to holes they fit great without having them

These Ford liners are not going to be easy to install. All the holes are off by about 1/4 of an inch. You can pull the liner one way then all the other holes are out.
I am going to have to drill my own holes and make something to screw into.
And since I have rear mudflaps I am going to have to revise that as well as the screw holding the liner is not flush and the mudflap bolts back on in that spot.
What a pain. I am tempted to take them back and buy something else.
It's +4C today. Maybe if I sit them in the sun if it warms up tomorrow they could expand?
Not impressed with these things.

Being that cool. I would put them in the heated basement overnight. Would be more flexible to work with and holes might line up.

On my 2015 F250, I installed the Husky. They weren't hard to install but they didn't fit perfectly.

I went with the Ford liners on the 2015 F350. The holes lined up really well and the install was easier. I think it might have been a combination of more clearance (F350 4wd vs F250 2wd) and slightly less liner (material) to slide/manipulate behind the wheel.
