The Truck Hardware Gatorback Rubber Mud Flaps set of 4 is the clean, no-logo choice for 2021-2027 Ford F-150 trucks with OEM fender flares (excluding Lightning and Raptor). Gatorback is a premium mud flap built to a higher standard than typical aftermarket flaps, and it shows the moment you pick one up. Each flap is made from heavy 1/2" thick virgin rubber, mounted with custom fit brackets made for your exact truck, and backed by a lifetime warranty on the rubber. The result is a flap that hangs straight, stays put at highway speed, and keeps doing its job for the life of your truck.
These 12" wide flaps protect your truck from rocks, mud, gravel, snow and road debris, so you will see your truck staying cleaner longer, less junk on your step bars, and fewer rock chips in the paint. This version is plain black rubber with no plate, a tough, understated look for owners who want serious protection without extra styling. Gatorback flaps are some of the highest quality, heaviest duty mud guards in the industry, they are test fit on every model year by Ford Accessories, and they are proudly made in Canada. If you are looking for mud flaps you buy once and never think about again, this is them.
Key Features
- Heavy-duty 1/2" thick virgin rubber - Many aftermarket flaps use thinner, recycled rubber that can curl, sag or tear over time. Gatorbacks use thick, premium virgin rubber that resists cracking and stays strong and flexible through heat, cold, rocks and gravel for years of reliable protection.
- Stays put at highway speed - The weight of the thick rubber keeps the flaps hanging straight instead of "sailing" (flapping up) in the wind, so they protect your truck at every speed and look clean doing it.
- Custom fit, no drilling - Custom fit brackets and hardware made for the 2021-2027 F-150 are included, and Ford Accessories test fits the flaps on each model year, so you get a precise, factory-quality fit with no holes drilled in your truck.
- Lifetime rubber warranty - If a flap comes off the truck or is damaged from normal wear and tear, Gatorback sends replacement rubber at no charge for as long as you own the truck.
Which Gatorback Is Right for Your Truck?
Gatorback mud flaps for the 2021-2027 Ford F-150 come in several versions. Use this quick guide to make sure you pick the right one:
- Standard vs. Offset - This is the standard custom fit Gatorback set, made for F-150s with OEM fender flares, including XL, XLT, STX, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Tremor trims. If your truck has a lift or level kit or oversized tires, choose Gatorback Offset mud flaps, whose 1.5" offset nylon kickback brackets add tire clearance.
- Raptor and Lightning - This set does NOT fit the F-150 Raptor or F-150 Lightning. Raptor owners should choose the Gatorback Raptor set, or the Gatorback Raptor Offset set for the Raptor 37 and R packages.
- Gatorback vs. Razorback - Gatorback is the premium line, with 1/2" thick virgin rubber, more tire coverage, plate styles and a lifetime rubber warranty. Razorback is a shorter 12" x 22" flap with 5.5" front and 6" rear coverage, and does not include a warranty.
- Plain rubber vs. plate styles - This version is plain rubber with no plate. This standard Gatorback set is also available in: black Ford oval, blue Ford oval, polished stainless steel plate, American flag, black anodized Ford oval, black American flag, black anodized aluminum plate, black wrap Ford oval, black wrap FX4, gunmetal F-150 logo, gunmetal Ford oval, gunmetal plate, orange Tremor on black anodized aluminum, orange Tremor on black wrap stainless, Platinum logo and Tread Brite diamond plate.
Features and Benefits
These flaps are made from heavy-duty, 1/2" thick virgin rubber, a high-quality rubber that has not been recycled, offering better strength, flexibility and wear resistance than reclaimed rubber. The weight of the thick rubber keeps the flaps from sailing at highway speed, so they stay in place and keep protecting your truck. The 12" wide flaps give you 10" of tire coverage front and rear, measured from the bottom of the fender to the bottom of the flap, and they are engineered to work seamlessly with OEM fender flares for a precise fit with maximum coverage. They help reduce dirt buildup on your truck's exterior, running boards and step bars, keeping your truck cleaner and preserving its value.
Fit is built in. Gatorback flaps are designed specifically for 2021-2027 Ford F-150 trucks with OEM fender flares, including XL, XLT, STX, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Tremor trims, and Ford Accessories test fits the flaps on each model year to confirm fitment. They do not fit the F-150 Lightning or Raptor. The flaps mount to your truck's factory mounting points with no body drilling, so your truck's body stays untouched and your resale value is protected. They also install flush to the inside of the wheel well, so they work alongside step bars, power boards and side steps without getting in the way. Gatorback mud flaps are proudly made in Canada.
Installation
Installation is simple, with no body drilling required. The flaps mount using your truck's factory mounting points and existing fasteners. If factory fasteners are not available, the additional hardware and custom fit brackets you need for a secure fit are included. Installation can be done with basic tools you already have at home and takes about 15 to 30 minutes per flap. The flaps install flush to the inside of the wheel well for a clean, seamless finish. Install videos and installation instructions are available so you can see the full process step by step before you start.

Warranty
Gatorback mud flaps are backed by a limited lifetime warranty on the rubber portion of the flap only. This warranty covers the rubber against manufacturer defects and covers rubber replacement (for example, tear-offs) for the lifetime of the product to the original owner. If a flap comes off the truck or is damaged due to normal wear and tear, let us know and we will send you a replacement piece of rubber at no charge.
Plates, brackets and mounting hardware are not covered by the warranty. The warranty also does not cover damage caused by misuse, abuse or improper installation. To start a warranty claim, please provide product photos and a copy of the installation or purchase receipt.
Terms to Know
- Virgin rubber - High-quality rubber that has not been recycled or repurposed, retaining its original strength, flexibility and durability compared to reclaimed rubber.
- No-drill installation - Mounting that uses your truck's existing factory mounting points, so no new holes are drilled and the body's original structure and finish are preserved.
- Tire coverage - How far the flap extends below the fender (10" front and 10" rear on this set). More coverage means more protection.
- Sailing - When a lightweight flap lifts and flaps at speed. The heavy 1/2" rubber keeps Gatorbacks from sailing.
