Mud flaps, what to get?
I just picked up my 2012 F250 CC SB 4x4 Lariat Golden Bronze Metalic with the FX4 and Camper Package and other goodies and need to know what are the best mud flaps for these trucks to protect the lower body panels.
Share what you have and pictures if you have them. I want to get them ordered. Right now I am trying to decide between the Weathertech and Husky mud flaps. Thanks in advance for your help. LOVE the truck!!!! Pat |

LOVE the truck!!!! Pat Air Hawk Industries : Mud Flaps - Grille Inserts - Box Liners I'm very happy with them. The install was a breeze, they're very solid, and they protect really well. I like the look of them too, they're real stainless and nicely done. Sorry I don't have any pics yet, hopefully in the next day or two I'll get around to it. |
I like the weather tech no drill mud flaps
|
x2 on the Weathertech mudflaps! :)
|
X3 on Weathertech.
|
I have the Husky, cheapest place I found was on Amazon. You do have to drill a couple holes but they're very easy to install. I have the factory 20" wheel/tire setup and on the fronts I could turn the tires enough to do the install. On the rears I had to remove the tire so I had enough room to run the screw gun. Very happy with the final product.
|
Mine came with Ford front and rear mud flaps and wheel liners from Ford factory. I have 2012 F-350 CC DRW King Ranch, and so far absolutely happy with the current set up. No problems driving on muddy and gravel roads...as I tow horse trailers.
|
I have Duraflap. www.duraflap.com Have them on my 06 and bought them already for the 2012 even though I'm still waiting for it to be delivered. Supposedly built last Friday.
|
x4 on the weathertech's.
|
I went with the no drill duraflaps. I thought the huskys were to short for much protection on gravel roads, (20 miles of gravel every time I leave the house). I like the air hawks also. never have seen the weathertechs. good luck, there are a lot of great choices.

What do these look like? I realize mudflaps are not mandatory items but if it reduces the amount of mud I have to clean out from between the lower door jamb then I may consider it.
|
I installed the Ford Factory "no drill" flaps. I think they are great.I looked at the others and thought they were the best for me.$88.00 For all 4:-X03
They were also very easy to install |
I've always been very happy with Husky.
|
Bullet proff mudflaps.But im her in Alberta.
|
Very happy with my Duraflaps. FYI they give you 10% off if you mention this forum when you order.
|
Another vote for Duraflap!
|
I purchased mud flaps from Ford. There is nothing flashy or special about them. They are just black flexible plastic, easy to install, and do a fine job.
|
Not trying to sell anyone on anything, just thought I'd throw up a couple pics of the AirHawks. I should have taken better pics of the mounting (and washed the truck lol), but I installed the Ford OEM rear fender liners, so my install was a little more challenging.
They have both a no drill and a screw on method. The no drill method is really slick, but I used to combination of both just to be sure. http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/...Flap-small.jpg http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/...iver-small.jpg |
dang I wish I had known about the 10% off for the duraflap flaps.
Hey B&L, what are the wheel well liners you mentioned? Is there a Ford part number? What kind of price are we talking? thanks |

Hey B&L,
what are the wheel well liners you mentioned? Is there a Ford part number? What kind of price are we talking? thanks Overall I'm happy with them, they're a nice addition, they certainly seal up the fender well nicely. I'd probably buy them again, but frankly, they're too much money for what you get. They should be standard equipment, not an expensive "accessory". |
Are the screws self-tapping or do you drill?
Did you seal the metal after screwing them on to prevent rust? And how would someone do that? I want some just like yours but was concerned about the expose metal from the self tapping screws or drilled holes. |
They come in a non-chrome version too right? The front grille has far exceeded the chrome quota already for the entire vehicle.
My rental F-350 had really thick mudflaps, like the ones for medium duty trucks but SRW sized. I was meaning to ask where they got them when I returned it, but they processed the return so rapidly I didn't even have time to ask. |
X4 on the Duraflap. No drill, uses existing hole and hardware. Very sturdy, bulletproof stainless steel hardware, 10% off for forum folks. They are works of art and make your truck look like a truck. Mine are ribbed on the tire side allowing mud, snow to run down and off, not stick there. get em!

Any pcitures of the Dura Flaps on a new SD? I really like the design and the 10% off for forum members and the fact that they are just an hour South of me in Grants Pass, OR!
Thanks for all the great help. Pat |
I thought that there were pictures on the Duraflap web site, but maybe those were older trucks. I have my new duraflaps in hand just waiting for the new truck to show up. In my profile pictures i have some pictures of the duraflaps on my 06 F350.
B&L.....thanks for the part number. paul |
Here's my Duraflaps. I'll have to try to get a better picture. These are the longer ones. Does a great job of protecting the paint. :-X22

SignalMaintainer,
Thanks for the pictures! I was wondering if the long, or the short would be best and I know know the long will work great. I can't tell if you got the ones with the chrome weight strips, or not. I am thinking all black. Nice Truck!!! Pat |
Paul,
Thanks for your pictures as well. Did you get the long, or the short for your new truck? Pat |
I went without the chrome weight strips. At first I regretted it but I've grown to like the all black look. I can always add them later if I change my mind.

SignalMaintainer,
Your truck has the 20" wheels doesn't it? I have the 18s, so mine is an inch shorter. I may still go with the longs. Thanks again to everyone. It is great to see them on trucks. Pat |
Yes I have the 20's but that shouldn't matter, the ride height should be the same. You just have more tire than I do. I believe my spare is an 18" and the tire size makes up for the difference. I measured from the bottom of the truck and put a piece of cardboard up to determine the length I wanted. I figured if they were to long I could always cut them. I'm sure you'll be happy either way.
|
I have decided on getting the long no drill from Duraflaps. I will get them without the chrome strip on the bottom.
Thanks to everyone for their input and help with this. Pat |
I also have had excellent luck with Husky mud flaps. They are easy to install and I have used them on three Super Duties and two Explorers. The cost is also reasonable.
|
Husky on mine... 2016 with 70k miles
|
The original poster has likely made a decision during the past 7 years.
Twice now I've gone with duraflaps. The PSD story - I haven't seen that in awhile. |
