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.

A must have to mount these flaps securely and without drilling holes in your truck (insert Jack sparrow gif here). Definitely love these flaps!
Great Product

These Brackets were exactly as described. I used them to install my new Gatorback Flaps on my 2016 3500HD. They fit perfect and they gave the mud flaps a continuous solid surface mount to, making the installation trouble free.

Truck Hardware Gatorback Black Plate Mud Flaps - Set

Elevate your Chevy Silverado's protection and appearance with the Truck Hardware Gatorback Black Plate Mud Flap Set. Designed specifically for 2014-2018 Chevy Silverado 1500, 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 Legacy, and 2015-2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD/3500 HD (Single Rear Wheel), these mud flaps are the perfect combination of durability, style, and practicality. Featuring sleek black anodized aluminum plates, these mud flaps offer a bold look while providing top-notch protection against road debris.

Constructed from 12" wide, 1/2" thick premium rubber, these mud flaps provide full tire coverage, helping to shield your truck from rocks, mud, and other debris. The weight of the flaps prevents them from sailing while driving, ensuring consistent performance in all conditions. The Truck Hardware Gatorback series is well-known for its superior quality and rugged construction, making these mud flaps an essential addition for those looking to protect and enhance their truck.

Key Features

  • Heavy-Duty Rubber Construction: Made from 1/2" thick, UV-resistant rubber to provide excellent durability and protection against harsh environments and road debris.
  • Sleek Black Anodized Aluminum Plates: The black anodized plates add a stylish and sophisticated look, measuring 10 1/4" x 5" on both the front and rear mud flaps.
  • Custom Fit for Silverado Models: Engineered specifically for 2014-2018 Silverado 1500, 2019 Silverado 1500 Legacy, and 2015-2019 Silverado 2500 HD/3500 HD (Single Rear Wheel) models.
  • Rear Support Brackets for Stability: Includes custom-fit rear support brackets to ensure a stable, secure installation that prevents flapping during tough driving conditions.

Installation

Front Flap Installation: The front mud flaps attach directly to the lip of the wheel well using self-tapping screws, with the option to use existing factory fasteners if available. Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools. Make sure to allow at least 1/2" of clearance between the tires and the wheel well to accommodate the flap's thickness. The front flaps install flush with the wheel well, integrating seamlessly with accessories like step bars, power boards, or side steps.

Rear Flap Installation: The rear mud flaps are secured using custom-fit rear support brackets and self-tapping screws to hold them tightly against the wheel well. This ensures stability and prevents the flaps from flapping into the tires, even under challenging conditions.
