At a glance

Overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive: customers consistently describe Gatorback/SharpTruck mud flaps as premium, heavy-duty, great-looking products that provide excellent protection, with standout customer service and warranty support; the main negatives are high price and occasional installation/hardware/fitment frustrations.

What Customers Liked

Thick, heavy rubber with a substantial feel; durable, flexible in cold/snow/ice; doesn’t “sail” at highway speeds; plates/weights feel robust and can be replaced/swapped.
Significantly reduces rock chips, mud/salt spray, and slush on rocker panels, running boards/power steps, bumpers, trailers/RVs; many note cleaner sides and less debris noise on gravel roads.
Vehicle-specific fit often described as ‘like a glove’/OEM; finishes (chrome, gunmetal, black plates) and logo plates (Z71/AT4X/FX4/Ram/Ford/Chevy, flags, etc.) ‘make the truck pop’ and draw compliments.
Many report straightforward installs, especially after the first flap; helpful YouTube videos; slotted holes help leveling; adjustable stick-out; removable lower section appreciated for off-roading/clearance.
Fast shipping is frequently praised; responsive support for exchanges/mis-shipments/damaged parts; hassle-free warranty replacements (torn/ripped flaps or scratched plates) often sent quickly.

Things to Consider

Most common complaint: ‘pricey/overpriced’ (often $600–$1000 with brackets/plates). Some feel brackets/plates should be included at that price.
Installs can be time-consuming or awkward (especially rears/dually setups), sometimes requiring wheel removal, right-angle drill, extra hands, drilling into plastic liners, trimming liners/trim pieces, or drilling/slot-cutting templates.
Paper instructions sometimes lacking, confusing, or mismatched vs video; hardware bags not well-separated/labeled; left/right not always marked; templates/printer scaling issues; ‘no-drill’ marketing criticized when drilling plastic is required.
Occasional reports of cheap/fragile fasteners, plastic clips/nut inserts pulling out/stripping, mixed metric/SAE heads, silver hardware being visually noticeable, bracket thickness/material concerns (plastic/galvanized vs stainless), and clamp-on brackets potentially rubbing paint (suggest PPF/tape).
Some vehicles need hole elongation, bracket bending, or ‘gerry-rigging’; occasional rubbing with oversized tires/offset wheels; a few reports of mis-shipped parts (two rears), wrong plates/colors, missing washers/spacers/clips/screws, or shipping scuffs/scratches/damaged boxes.

GREAT MUD FLAP

GREAT PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EVEN BETTER, I ordered the wrong mud flap and was in a crunch for time because I was leaving on a trip, they created a return and sent me the correct product ASAP.
GREAT PLACE TO WORK WITH

Practical and great looking

I live on a dirt road in Northern Vermont. Stones, ice and all sorts of junk pound on the truck body and drive it to an early death. The coverage these provide should save me more than they cost in body repair. AND they REALLY look GREAT!

Gatorback mud flaps

These mud flaps are great I ordered them long because I live on a dirt road and good mud flaps are key to protecting my truck. 2500HD sits high off the road and these will keep the crap off the truck (also keep all NYS DOT snow melting chemicals off the rear of the truck) Installation was simple with suggested hangar kit.

12x26 red GMC mud flaps

This will be the second set of these I have installed, I put a set on my 2017 GMC 2500 HD and have been very pleased, so I'm now retro fitting a set on my 2015 GMC 2500HD work truck as the previous flaps installed have broken off. The Gator backs hold up well and protect the truck from road sand in the winter and loose gravel the rest of the year. They add a sharp look to the truck. Take your time and follow the instructions and you should have no problems with installation.
