Do most Ford owners install mud flaps?
My 1996 Ford F250 currently doesn't have any mudflaps installed on the rear wheels, but I did find two mud flaps at the junkyard; similar to the ones pictured here.

Never put any on a personal vehicle of mine
I used to "have to" install them at the dealer when people purchased those same mudflaps from Ford parts
Thing is, you need to poke holes in your fender
Made me cringe doing that to a new truck and God forbid if you placed them where the customer did not want them
Angle, height etc., then you get more holes re positioning them
It is possible to use one or two factory fender liner bolt holes
I agree, they are a nice accessory
And, the people behind you in rain will appreciate them

Lots of gravel and dirt roads in my area. Some trucks have had them, some not. They do work and keep things from getting beat up. I’m not a big fan, but they do work. Purely functional for me.

mine came with modified semi mudflaps which do wonders for not kicking rocks up at windshields and they have a 5 pound chunk of steel bolted to the bottom to keep them down as much as possible. guessing it was added when the camper was in the bed and never removed afterwards
