Filthy engine compartment

Are there any decent aftermarket inner fender extensions for the '04-'06 F-150's? I can't believe how filthy my new '06 is after only 4,000 miles - My Silverado stayed clean as a whistle but I feel a need to hose the engine down simply to check the oil.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks in advance

Welcome to FTE!

I agree, of the many vechicles I've owned, this one has to be the worst in that area.

To my knowledge, I don't know of anyone that makes such a product.

As far as I know they only make aftermarket fender covers or fillers for the F-250's.

Cost cutting at work here folks :-(

If the darn thing costs $1 per wheel well and Ford sells 1Million trucks per year, that's $4M in annual savings by not having it.

Notice that the passenger side exhaust manifold is directly exposed to all the splash that gets kicked up when driving through water. I'm gonna have a hole rusted in it one of these days if it's not caked in mud first.

Need a pair for the rear wheel wells too. I'm getting a bunch of crud built up and stuck in the crevices under the box.
