Mudflaps

[LJN3223]

Ordered the Maverick flaps from Ford for my 2025 XLT but they don't seem to fit. They are labeled for a 2022. Have the dimensions changed?

No idea but I'd google whatever part number is on the flaps you have to see if that sheds any light on the situation.

Installed these on my 2025 Lariat purchased using my reward points - did you purchase these or the “gator“ mud flaps with the blue oval badge? Installation was a little more involved being they have the anti-flutter brackets but great fit

Be aware that with the Ford brand mudflaps, the design allows the plastic flap to rub against the painted surface. Some MTC members have reported that in some cases, the friction has rubbed the paint off the fender.

Flaps from several other companies do not have this issue.

good point but I liked the full coverage of the Ford OEM flaps which will provide some added protection it is a very tight fit but I’m sure there will still be some flexing that could cause some issue long term

Long term for me was about 30 days. I could already see the paint rub lines from the factory installed Ford mud flaps so based on the MTC advice, I removed them right away and replaced with Mabett mud flaps. It won’t take long for the Ford mud flaps to mess up your paint where they wrap around the fender and potentially accelerate/cause corrosion.

Now you got me thinking probably looking at replacing them with these, you would think Ford would protect their vehicles by offering product that don‘t inflict any damage

Terry are you happy with them?

Terry are you happy with them?

Yes. I've actually moved them from Mav to Mav. Pricey, but they've held up well.

unless you
like damage to your paint , don’t buy them and install them
buy Mabett mud flaps
mount easier and not on the paint

I used the Ford mud flaps and ran a bead of black silicone - from my past experience, this addresses any concern over paint damage.

Thanks for the tip Tom after looking at my installation I will go back and apply some silicone as well I hate having to do double work by back peddling but I feel it will be worth the trouble since I only install them a week ago thanks

Before installation of the Ford OEM mud flaps , I spoke to the dealer about the potential paint damage. As you can see in the photo, the installed with a small gap from the fender.

I would worry about sand and dirt getting in between the body paint and the mud flap and still cause chaffing
