Mud flap suggestion

Looking for mudflaps suggestion for the 2017. I seen the weathertechs and others like them, but not crazyabout the moulded design. I see dirt getting in behind them and grinding the paint off. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I'm liking my Duraflaps. Got them in extra long, and 14" wide... they do a great job of keeping the truck clean. And the stainless weights look good (went with a decorative one on the rears)

Your theory on trapped dirt is a good one. I removed my front Ford molded flaps after adding 35" tires and the paint was damaged from rubbing.

Get the Gatorbacks - they are worth it and look like a truck mudflap, not a car molded mudflap...
