Rear fender liners… Why install? OEM vs Aftermarket?

[ragu2]

Wondering how many and why you choose to install the F150 rear fender liners and which brand OEM or aftermarket.
Those up north I can see why you’d want to (I’m originally from NJ) but for the other owners your thought’s/reasons why.
Thanks

I installed the Husky ones. I think they will help reduce corrosion on the rear. But the main reason is for looks. My Lariat is Carbonized Gray with the Black package. I don’t want to see the gray box inside the wheel wells. With the linters, everying in the wheel wells is black - tires, rims and inside the well.

I installed the husky liners also. The looked like they had good coverage and the price was good

I installed plastic liners because rocks flying off the tire into the metal wheel wells was loud. Went with Ford liners because I'm new to F150s and figured I couldn't really go wrong with oem.

Same goes for me. Husky liners, installed just fine, love the look.

Got my dealer to spray using similar to line-x. Over 30,000 km and still sticking

I installed the Ford liners on two trucks in a row. They fit the best.

Helped a buddy install a set on his new Raptor last night. Amazing that a $90K truck doesn't include them but it is what it is. He went the Huskys. Looks much better IMHO.

Ordered the factory ones when I ordered my truck thru granger.

Black 2024 blackout edition ... Installed the Ford Liners. Arrived within 3 days and took less than 30 mins to install....thats including gathering the necessary tools. Excellent fit. Recommend wearing gloves because of the sharp fender edges. Installed because I often drive in muddy areas.

I used the Husky liners. They fit just fine and as I recall had some trivial minor advantages over the OEMs.
I did it mainly to give the truck a more finished appearance. Without them, the wheel wells look rough and incomplete.

Another Husky install on a white King Ranch, did it for the looks / not seeing the white box. Easy install, great fit.
Agree these should be standard equipment in these trucks!

One word, AESTHETICS. My 2025 Lariat didn’t come with them as an option from the factory. One of the first things I noticed that was an eyesore. The rear fenders just look unfinished and quite ugly IMO. Especially on a white truck like mine, all you see is the white painted bed, instead of a nice black fender well that blends with the undercarriage of the truck. I’m planning on buying them for myself for my birthday in November when my wife asks me what I want, lol. I will be buying the Ford OEM for the good fit and finish, versus aftermarket.
Im not concerned about wheel well protection, it’s really a non issue for where I live and I’m on paved roads always.

Purely for looks. Used ford points to get em. Installation took 5 minutes. Looks way better.
