Gatorback mud flap question

I ordered a 22 F250 7.3 Lariat with the ultimate package and am going to purchase a set of the gatorback mud flaps. I had these on my 17 and they are great, but back then they didn't offer to pre-drill the holes in the flap like they do now. However, for them to do that, they need to know if I have the factory fender flares or not as it affects where the holes are drilled. From the pics on the build and price page it doesn't look like my new order will have the factory flares but can anybody confirm whether or not that is accurate? It looks like the flares might come on King Ranch and higher trims. My order does not have two tone by the way if that makes a difference.

Also, I ordered the Baja interior and it looks like it will have black carpet, is that correct? Wanting to order floor mats now as well.

Thanks in advance for your help.

AFAIK, no Lariat comes with fender flares, unless maybe with the off-road package.
And, yes, black carpet with baja interior.

Thanks for your response. I did order the FX4 package but I don't believe that added the flares. They are pricey for sure but they are the nicest looking mud flaps I've found and the mounting brackets are great. The plastic OEM mud flaps are extremely cheap looking on a $66,000 pickup in my opinion.

Pricey???
Pricey would be two, or maybe three times as much as the oem plastic mud flaps, but those gatorback's are FIVE TIMES AS MUCH!!!
That's not pricey, that is over the top crazy OUTRAGEOUS.

Agreed, Yep, I won’t pay that for mud flaps. I don’t see the value for the price.

Only Super Duties that come with flares from the factory are the Tremors and The two tone King Ranch, the two tone Lariat used to come with them but I'm not sure anymore.

I thought the price of the Gator Backs was crazy and I ended up finding a set of test fitted takeoffs for under $200. I like them so much I'd gladly pay full price for them, they are so beefy that I think you'd rip the fender off before the flap failed.

I saw those listed on the Ford Accessory page. I figure I will use the Ford Pass points to pick up some mud flaps, but was looking at these for only $90. This will save me a little more $$ (in points) to pick up a few more items too... just curious if anyone has used these, and also, will any of the items listed on the Ford Accessory page be able to be purchased with the Ford Pass points?

Do you already have your truck? If so, how long did it take to get the points on your account? If not, were you able to order them and will just apply the points once you get them?
