Ford F-150/F-250: Mud Flap Reviews
Read about three popular mud flap brands for the Ford F-150 and F-250 Super Duty below.
This article applies to the Ford F-150 (2004-2014), and the F-250, F-350 (2005-2014).
Road debris cannot only damage the under-body and exterior of your own vehicle, but also your trailer, its contents, and even other people’s property. That is why properly sized, heavy-duty mud flaps are key for today’s Ford F-150. Explore three mud flaps from Weather Tech, Husky Liners and Power Flow, and assess which works best for your truck in this helpful review. Weather Tech and Husky Liners are both made out of thermoplastic, while Power Flow is made out of rubber. Thermoplastic could live longer as weather conditions take a toll on rubber. However, rubber is more flexible, so it is more highly recommended if you do a lot of off-roading that could cause your thermoplastic to snap.

Weather Tech

These are the flaps to buy when you want ones that get the job done no matter the aesthetics. While many forum experts say the guards work as advertised, and many would recommend them, their plastic build is a detriment that is often noted. They are less expensive, but easy to install and reliable. Recommended if you are looking for good mud flaps for less money.
Husky Liners
Price - $79.99 for rear and front set
Material - Thermoplastic
Fit - Custom fit
Warranty - Lifetime
These liners received the most praise on F-150online.com from users. They fit well and are aesthetically pleasing, which is a crucial aspect for many looking for form and function. While they do look great, they were noted as being wider than Weather Tech’s pads; however, many like this attribute because it does a better job at keeping dirt and debris off the side of the truck and running board. They fit very well and are slightly more expensive than Weather Tech flaps. Recommended if you are looking for durable, large mud flaps and you don't mind spending the money.
Power Flow
Price - $75.50 for rear and front set
Material - Rubber
Fit - Direct fit
Warranty - 90 days
Power Flow has been known to be less durable than Weather Tech and Husky Liners. Community experts aren't very fond of this factor, but these pads are the easiest to install as the holes match perfectly for Ford trucks. Weather tends to take a toll on rubber, which explains the short warranty. Recommended if you are looking for flexible mud flaps especially if you off-road.
