Heavy Duty Ford Mud Flaps

I am looking to purchase the Heavy Duty Ford Mud Flaps part #CL3Z-16A550. After looking on the Ford accessories website and speaking with a local dealership I could not determine which mud flaps I needed for a 2017 Super Duty. I narrowed it down to #CL3Z-16A550-S or #CL3Z16A550-P. The "P" model states that it requires brackets, but both say they fit a 2017 super duty and both say they are for the rear. My dealer went ahead and ordered some and if they are incorrect will take them back, but I wanted to see if anyone else had experience with these mud flaps? I have been unable to find any forum posts about them regarding a super duty either, so I haven't been able to see any installation pictures to know what to look for when I pick them up. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Tasca and oemfordpart.com are showing the ones ending in "S" as fronts, the ones ending in "P" are rears.

cpobst thanks for the reply. I checked out those and saw what you were saying. I checked with the dealer and that is what he ordered, because he figured front and rear would have a different part number. I should be good to go. If anyone has pictures of these on their trucks I wouldn't mind seeing that as well. I have always preferred the rubber mud flaps over the plastic molded ones, so I am glad to see Ford has this as a reasonably priced option now as well.

Okay I will. I am hoping they look good. I don't like buying them sight unseen, but from the picture they should look pretty good.

You get the ones with the Ford logo in stainless or all black ones?

I went black. My truck is a black platinum and I felt like the stainless would add too much chrome. I have seen pictures of the Gatorbacks with the stainless plate and the mud flaps really stand out.

I had the same thought with my Gatorbacks so I selected the black plate

SARDiverDan I was always unable to find good pictures of the black plate Gatorbacks as well. Thanks! Those look good. I am hoping these will look similar enough to justify the cost savings. After tax the Gatorbacks were looking like around $450 and the Ford ones will be $160.

I put Duraflaps on my dually with the metal plate on the bottom as an extra weight. They're very stiff and do a great job of keep stuff from kicking at the fifth wheel. Mine are the extra long flaps.

cpobst you aren't kidding. I got them installed today and basically had to figure it out myself. My rear pair instruction manual wasn't even in order. The pages were stapled in a random order. I will post pics when I get a chance.

These are actually made in Canada. The company is called gatorback mudflaps. They have a no drill set that works really well.

Youre mistaken, mine actually say "Made in USA".

Yeah mine also say Made in USA. I believe these are actually made by Ford. Ford just has a deal with Gatorback to have Ford branded on their mud flaps. I am pleased with these mud flaps. I think they look good on the truck. I didn't like the drilling but at the same time I won't be removing them so it ultimately doesn't matter. The instructions do recommend an anti corrosive spray so I may get that just to be safe and spray it in the drill holes.
