1

I’ve been looking to upgrade my Ford dually’s accessories, specifically mud flaps. With the kind of off-roading I do, it’s crucial to have something that protects the body of the truck from mud and debris. Plus, I want something that looks good too!

What I’m Looking For:

  • Material Quality: Durable and can withstand rough conditions.
  • Fit and Compatibility: Since it’s a dually, I want to make sure they fit perfectly without any issues.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: I don’t just want functionality; I’d like them to enhance the look of my truck as well.
  • Price Range: Looking for something reasonable but also willing to invest in quality.

Questions:

  1. Recommendations: What brands or specific models do you all recommend?
  2. Experience: Has anyone had issues with certain types of mud flaps on their duallys?
  3. Installation: How difficult is the installation process?

I appreciate any tips or advice you can share. Thanks in advance for your help!

I’ve been researching mud flaps for my Ford Dually and found that material really matters. Rubber vs. plastic can make a huge difference in durability and how well they handle gravel roads.

Absolutely! I’ve heard that heavy-duty rubber flaps provide excellent protection. Size is also crucial; you need to ensure they fit snugly without being too small.

Does anyone know if there’s a specific size that fits the 2021 Ford Dually better? I want to avoid ones that flap in the wind because it’s annoying!.

For the 2021 model, go with flaps that are at least 12 inches wide. It’ll help with wind resistance and debris protection.

In addition to size, look for adjustable mud flaps. They can provide a better fitment for different conditions.

7

Great point! Adjustable options can really maximize functionality according to load and ride height.

I also recommend checking for installation ease. Some mud flaps have complicated setups, and I don’t want to spend hours fixing them.

True! I once miscalculated installation time and ended up cursing my truck in the driveway! So easy fitment is a must for me!

Haha, I’ve been there! In terms of material, what about polycarbonate? I’ve heard it’s tough and flexible.

Polycarbonate is indeed a solid choice! However, it can be more expensive than rubber. Just something to consider based on budget!

12

That’s a good point. Quality often costs more upfront but saves money in the long run due to durability.

Has anyone tried the custom-fit options? I heard they can be pricey but worth every penny.

I was skeptical about custom fits, but for my F250, they’ve been amazing! Zero issues with fitting or performance.

Customization sounds interesting but I’m also aware it might lead to conflicting reviews. Some say they are overrated.

That’s true, but if reviews lean towards specific brands, it might point you in the right direction.

You know, while searching I did find some funny brands with silly marketing names. Like ‘Muddy Buddy Flaps’—has anyone tried those?

Muddy Buddy Flaps? That’s hilarious! But in all seriousness, make sure they serve their purpose well above the name.

Hey rstone! You’ll need basic tools like a drill, screws, and a level. Make sure to clean the area thoroughly before starting to avoid rust!
