The Truck Hardware Gatorback Black Wrap FX4 Mud Flaps front pair combines serious protection with the officially licensed FX4 logo on a black wrap 304 stainless steel plate for 2023-2027 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks, fitting both single rear wheel and dually models. 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 almost a 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. The officially licensed FX4 logo is licensed through Ford Accessories, and the black wrap plate gives your truck a bold, blacked-out look. 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 stays strong and flexible through heat, cold, rocks and gravel for years of reliable protection.
- Officially licensed FX4 logo, black wrap - Licensed through Ford Accessories and die-stamped into a stainless steel plate finished in black for a bold, blacked-out look that resists rust and corrosion.
- Custom fit, no drilling - Custom fit brackets and hardware made for the 2023-2027 F-250 and F-350 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 2023-2027 Super Duty come in several versions. Use this quick guide to make sure you pick the right one:
- Front pair, rear pair, or set of 4 - This listing is the front pair only (2 flaps). Choose the rear pair for rear wheel coverage, or a set of 4 to protect all four wheel wells.
- Single rear wheel vs. dually - The front wheels are the same on single rear wheel (SRW) and dual rear wheel (DRW) trucks, so this front pair fits both. Rear flaps are different: dually trucks need Gatorback Dually rear flaps, which use extra-wide 21" rear flaps.
- Tremor, lifted trucks, or oversized tires - This flap does NOT fit Tremor models. For a Tremor, or a truck with a lift or level kit or oversized tires, choose Gatorback Offset mud flaps, which use 1.5" offset nylon kickback brackets for extra tire clearance and fit all models including Tremor.
- Choosing a style - This version is the black wrap FX4 style. This front pair is also available in: plain rubber (no plate), stainless steel plate, black anodized aluminum plate, black Ford oval, blue Ford oval, FX4, 6.7L Power Stroke, Platinum, Super Duty, black wrap Ford oval, black anodized Ford oval, American flag, black American flag, black anodized Super Duty, F-250, F-350, gunmetal plate and gunmetal Ford oval.
Features and Benefits
These flaps are made from heavy-duty, 1/2" thick virgin rubber, a high-quality, unrefined rubber that offers better strength, flexibility and wear resistance than recycled 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. At 12" wide with 11" of tire coverage from the bottom of the fender to the bottom of the flap, they catch the rocks, mud and slush your front tires throw back toward your rockers, steps and paint.
The officially licensed FX4 logo is licensed through Ford Accessories, ensuring it looks perfect, and is die-stamped into a 304 stainless steel plate finished with a hand-applied black vinyl overlay (black wrap) for a blacked-out background. The 304 stainless steel resists rust and corrosion for a long-lasting, premium appearance. The plate measures 10 1/4" x 5". You will appreciate the attention to detail in these flaps.
Fit is built in. Gatorback flaps are designed specifically for the 2023-2027 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty, including XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Limited trims, and Ford Accessories test fits the flaps on each model year to confirm fitment. Because the front wheels are the same on single rear wheel and dually trucks, this front pair fits both. They do not fit Tremor models due to tire clearance. The flaps mount to your truck's factory mounting locations 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 to your truck's factory existing mounting locations, and the custom fit brackets and hardware you need for a solid installation are included. Installation can be done with tools you already have at home and takes about 15 minutes per flap. The flaps install flush to the inside of the wheel well for a clean, factory look. Install videos and installation instructions are available so you can see the full process step by step before you start.

Care & Maintenance
- Clean the rubber with a mild soap and water solution. Regular cleaning helps keep the rubber flexible and extends the life of the flaps.

- Rinse thoroughly and let the flaps air dry for best results.
- To maintain the black wrap finish, clean the plates with a soft cloth and a mild detergent cleaner with a pH between 4 and 9. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals that could scratch or damage the surface, then rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
- Check the mounting hardware periodically and retighten if needed, especially after off-road or rough-road driving.
