Hey Guys & Gals,

Just threw in my Xmas wish to Santa!!
Getting a new 2016 F350 Lariat CC, 6.2L

Like to get a bug deflector -- is it needed or serve any purpose? And pics of them on a newer truck like to see it.

Also getting the window vents & mud flaps

Other then that this truck is so loaded I dont think there is anything else needed!!

 

I have read post in the past that the bug/wind deflector on the front doesn't play well with mounting vent visors. Something about the front deflector disturbs the aerodynamics of wind flow as designed with the body lines of the Superduty which then has been known to cause excess wind buffering at the point of the vent visors.

I went with the vent visors and feel that I made the correct choice for me.

Congratulations on the new Santa delivery gift.

 

Window visors are a must. Haven't seen a bug deflecto on a late model S D.

 

I've got deflector and vent visors both on my 2014 F250. Went to Florida & back (about 2400 round trip) with no issues.
But that could easily be a different story with different brands or configurations. Maybe I just lucked out.
As far as vent visors, I couldn't make the snap in ones work no matter how I tried. I got credit for them from the vendor and bought an old fashioned stick on design. Again, trucks all over the country have the window channel style visors and they work. Whichever brand I purchased (I'd post if I remembered, it was about 20 months ago) didn't do the job for me. That's why I'm not really bashing or recommending to stay away. Just posting my own experience.

 

My truck has window visors and a hood deflector. I've never noticed any extra wind noise, but I've never driven it without them on either. Now I'm curious but it's off the road until springtime anyways.

I am always more than happy to throw up a pic of my rig! Lol.

 

Congratulations on the new truck. Blue Jeans is a nice color.

 

Congratulations on your new truck, looks sharp

 

Culvert - there are rules on these forums. If you don't post a pic of that new truck, it didn't happen!

 

Amazon warehouse is a good way to save some money.

 

Got my new ride home last night

 

Slick truck. Might want to hit that camper shell with some 303, tho!

 

Nice truck and nice color!

 

Woohoo! Nice to see somebody else got white. I love my white truck!

 

And what would 303 be?? It may look rough but it's -24 up here tonight. Topper was sitting on my car hauler trailer in the yard. I just put it on & backed into the shop to clamp it down. So it's just covered in frost.

 

Nice looking truck. Winter makes everything look dirty. 303 is a brand of detailing products. They make some nice stuff.
