At a glance

Overall sentiment is strongly positive: buyers consistently describe Gatorback/SharpTruck mud flaps as premium, heavy‑duty, great-looking, and highly effective at stopping rocks/mud/snow from hitting paint, steps, and trailers. The main reservations are the high price and occasional installation/fitment or hardware/packaging issues, which are often mitigated by responsive customer service and strong warranty support.

What Customers Liked

  • Thick, heavy rubber with substantial weight plates; feels “OTR/semi-truck grade,” doesn’t flap at highway speeds, flexible in cold weather, holds up through winters, gravel roads, mud, and years of use; many repeat buyers across multiple trucks.
  • Significantly reduces rock chips, road debris, mud/salt spray on paint, rocker panels, running boards/power steps, cameras, and keeps trailers/5th wheels/RVs cleaner and protected; coverage often better than OEM or plastic splash guards.
  • Looks “sharp,” classy, and truck-specific; logo/plate options (Z71, AT4X, Ford, Ram, Duramax, flags, black/satin/gunmetal/chrome) get compliments and help the truck stand out; finishing caps appreciated.
  • Many report perfect/vehicle-specific fit with factory-hole mounting, adjustable in/out positioning, good clearance with stock tires, and compatibility with certain trims/fender flares when configured correctly.
  • Generally described as straightforward with the right tools; helpful YouTube videos; bracket kits (especially rear/dually) add stability and make alignment easier; ability to install without removing wheels on some vehicles.
  • Frequent praise for fast shipping, responsive support, quick exchanges for wrong parts, replacement parts/plates/flaps shipped rapidly, and hassle-free warranty (including tears/rips or shipping damage).
  • Replaceable plates; removable lower section on some models for off-road clearance; ability to adjust flap stick-out; some like drilling only into plastic liner (not body).

Things to Consider

  • Most common complaint; many call them expensive/overpriced (often $600–$1000+), sometimes compounded by needing separate bracket kits/plates; some say alternatives may be “good enough” for less.
  • Mixed experiences: some installs are quick, others take hours—especially rear/dually, with wheel-well liners, rock rails/steps, or limited access; right-angle drill and/or removing rear wheels often recommended; alignment can be finicky.
  • Paper instructions sometimes vague, lacking steps, inconsistent with videos, or confusing (hardware ID, left/right orientation, templates, washer placement); requests for better labeling, templates, and model-specific videos.
  • Occasional reports of holes not lining up, needing to drill/elongate slots, bend/trim brackets, trim liners/trim pieces, or create homemade brackets; some rubbing with oversized tires/offset wheels; a few cases of poor fit on specific trims/years.
  • Multiple reviewers note drilling is still required (usually into plastic liner or flap), so ‘no-drill’ feels misleading in some kits.
  • Some dislike plastic clips/nut inserts pulling out/stripping, mixed metric/SAE hardware, bolt length issues, flimsy/galvanized or plastic brackets at high price, silver hardware visible (wish black), occasional missing/mismatched hardware or parts.
  • Some flaps/plates arrived scuffed/scratched or boxes damaged; brackets loosening in transit; a few wrong items shipped or missing pieces (spacers/washers/clips), though support often resolves quickly.
  • Some note low ground clearance depending on model/height; concerns about snagging in deep snow, tall grass, or off-road obstacles; some wish flaps were longer/shorter depending on use.
  • Plate finish can streak/stain (e.g., gunmetal), color/gloss differs from expectations, logos not level in a few cases, and some wish flaps came pre-slotted/pre-drilled for easier install.

Loved them at first, but..............

I bought the mud to express my pride in the Long Horn edition Ram I was driving. The cost of the mud flap was over twice that of other products of same material and quality. The only difference was the Long Horn Logos. I could not find the mud flaps with Long Horn Logos anywhere else.
the initial quality of the mud flaps was amazing, very heavy rubber material and great logo. They installed very easy. In retrospect, I would only purchase the rear set of flaps with the logo because my running boards hide the front logos.
In less than one year I am seeing rust stains on the logo plate and I can not remove it. It is so sad that I spent so much money on the logo that is now rusting.

Thank you for the review. The good news is what you are seeing is not rust. With the plates made of 304 stainless steel there can be some surface corrosion but that is easily clean up to get the plates looking good as new. Here is a video we have done to show you how easy it is to clean up, https://youtu.be/prEI0Q6d8K4

Rear Flaps and Mounting Brackets; Front Flaps Great! Front Mounting Brackets Bad!

I love the look of these mud flaps!  They certainly should, for the price paid for them.  The rear mounting brackets are pure genius in design; they'll never fall off.  The front brackets, though, are just as bad as the rear ones are great.  To properly mount them, you have to cut the front mud flaps and leave less than a foot of each one!  I modified the brackets to work with the full flaps, but I should NOT have had to do that at these prices.

The mounting/backing plates went in without a hitch. Then went to install the rubber flaps, watched videos and read directions. No holes in the flaps to match the plates. Very confusing, can't locate holes below with plates installed. They say if you buy them from Ford the flaps are predrilled for the 2017 Super Duty. Payed top dollar for these, should be done right. Not happy with them.

I ordered the mud flaps to protect my paint from rocks and mud being thrown up from the tires. The Gatorbacks were pricey but they are very well built heavyweight and good looking. They were easy to install and look great!

Gatorback mud flaps are designed with versatility in mind. Whether your vehicle is factory stock or heavily customized, there’s a Gatorback solution for you:

  • Standard fitment for OEM trucks and SUVs.
  • Specialty designs for dually setups and vehicles with fender flares.
  • Removable flap systems—perfect for off-roading or when you want the option to take them off quickly.

Most Gatorbacks install flush inside the wheel well for a clean, seamless look, making them a top choice for trucks with aftermarket accessories like steps, trim, or flares.

Officially Licensed Logos

Personalize your ride with confidence. Gatorback offers a wide selection of officially licensed logos from Ford, GM, Mopar, and more, ensuring a perfect match to your truck’s branding.
