There are several options for mudflaps. These are the non-branded option of the Ford accessory mudflap. They are the more expensive option, but they look like the best in quality. I ordered from RealTruck on May 3 and they should be delivered May 7. ETA to dealership is 5/11-5/17. YT has good installation video on Maverick.

Update: Finally got my Maverick. Installed these pretty easy, following directions that came with mudflaps and on YouTube. Very happy with them so far.

I feel you, but these are 10 in, heavy duty rubber and flexible, with a good mounting system. I do not like the look of the inexpensive hard plastic ones. I looked at the thin flexible plastic ones, but there have been issues with the stainless steel hardware rusting, fast. Hoping paying a bit more means better quality and coverage. At least they are not the $500 Ford accessory price.

I got the Ford mud flaps and I’m happy with them. They have better width than I expected.
I only paid $90 for all 4. There was a discount on their site.
And they used more screws and brackets than what I have used on other vehicles in the past.
If one ever gets ripped off due to clearance to the ground, they are reasonable to replace.

💯 agreed, those appear premium. I'm just going thru my own 5-step process of justifying something that (a) I had not known about, (b) is out of my budget, and (c) might buy anyway.

I was going to change the bed cover, but decided to try the FE one. Now I can afford this one. The non-branded was surprisingly "affordable" through RealTruck.

I checked them out, but did not like that it was hard plastic. The good thing, this "should" be my largest splurge, if my wife asks.

rokblokz for me all day!
I was very interested in them. Liked the look, fitment and price. Did not like the reviews of rusting hardware. If these do not work out, I'll give Rokblokz a try.

I’ve had mine on for almost 2 months with many southern thunderstorms and no signs of rust yet. Even if they do, easy fix at Lowes
