Mud flaps - Why so expensive?

byronpete21

I looked on the Ford accessories webpage and it appears that that if you are willing to go without the fancy stamped metal plate you can get the mudguards for 49.99 a pair. That seems a bit more reasonable.

Love them or hate them, they do serve a purpose (especially in the northeast during winter).

So why do these cost ~$450 per pair (each - front and back) or $900 total (before tax and shipping)? The lowest price I've found is ~$370 for each pair or $740 in total.

Maybe Pep Boys will offer a cheap Yosemite Sam "Back Off!" set?

• NOT compatible with side steps, rock rails, or any appearance package.

Because people are stupid enough to spend that much on mud flaps. Weathertech or husky liner will probably come out with something

They should do a ghetto floor mat mud flap for people on a budget. :ROFLMAO:

Front, w/o step, w/rock rail - VM2DZ-16A550-A
Rear, w/o step, w/rock rail - VM2DZ-16A550-C

It is also unclear if the fender flare is included in the kit. Fender flare is in the diagram for parts, but again not clear what's included. Can't image why the fender flare would be replaced just for mud flaps.
Any alternatives to the Ford mud flaps would be appreciated.
Badlands with rock rails.

Thanks. If you are referring to Part No: M2DZ16A550BB and M2DZ16A550AA, the description points out they are not compatible with rock rails (although the pictures shows them with rock rails). I'd actually rather have these than the logo type.
