The factory flaps that came on my truck were too short so I added to them. Wasn’t going to throw brand new flaps away. If it had no flaps, the Duraflaps I had on my 2016 looked new after 7 years. Normally I would order a truck and add flaps but when I went in to order, mine was on the lot, was 95% of what was on my built truck, had all the must haves and wasn’t marked up.

I'm on my 5th of these trucks since 2017. I've always used Ford molded mud flaps like Bugzilla posted, but without adding onto them. I like the fit and they've done what I needed.

Most folks seem to run either Husky or Weather Tech no hole mount mud flaps. I have no preference, really, but mine are Weather Tech I got locally at a good price. Both mount easy in a few minutes. They require no holes to be drilled, since the point is to protect the truck and not poke holes in it. I think they are "comically large" and the do keep the truck clean.

I'm not a big off-road guy. I did find road spray was coating the sides of the truck and the running boards. The OEM running boards on my 2022 are troublesome to get clean once dirty. The mud flaps cured most of the problem. They go through the car wash just fine.

The poll choices make my head hurt. And I can't quite tell by the pictures but it appears that with those wheels and tires you will have a hard time keeping your truck clean regardless.

For the best looking solution, my vote would be Tremor flares + factory flaps (there is a version meant to work with the tremor flares IIRC).

My truck came from the factory with holes everywhere. A couple self tappers isn't going to hurt anything.

But this is the internet, and for some reason, lots of folks are afraid of drilling even the tiniest hole in an obscure area.

Bought my 2019 last year and it had Weathertech. I liked them enough to leave them. I did swap out some hardware for stainless though as some bolts/screws were rusted.

Should be one of their standard versions.

Just the camera angle I guess - your front looks quite close to the ground.
