Same here, had to trim the Huskys, just like the picture above. What I am worried about are the cheapy fasteners. I can see them popping out or shearing off first time offroading.

"Why give something away for free when we can charge up to three times the price of competitors for it..."Why Ford doesn’t factory install and include these on XLT and higher trims, I’ll never understand. I have Oxford white and it looks terrible in the rear without the liners. Glad to catch this thread, I won’t waste time with Huskey. Worth the extra bucks to get the OEM fitment and quality considering it’s a $75k truck.
You would like the rough country very easy to install and 110.00 on ebay direct from rough country. I just put mine on last week on my 2024 Lariat.Why Ford doesn’t factory install and include these on XLT and higher trims, I’ll never understand.

You’re right. Everything revolves around the almighty dollar. But I think most of us would even be fine with that being a standard option on XLT and higher trims. I just came out of a 2021 GMC Sierra SLT. All those trucks come standard with felt wheel well liners front and rear on SLT and higher trims. Time to step it up a little Ford."Why give something away for free when we can charge up to three times the price of competitors for it..."

Thanks for the recommendation on the Rough Country, I’ll look into those.You would like the rough country very easy to install and 110.00 on ebay direct from rough country. I just put mine on last week on my 2024 Lariat.
It WAS an option when I built mine in March 2024. Believe it or not, that single option would have caused a delay in my build due to parts shortage so I took it off.You’re right.

Yes, I know it’s an option… I remember looking at another Lariat on the lot very similar to mine, and it happened to have the rear liners installed from factory. I guess my point is, for such a cheap part that makes these trucks look a lot better and protect the wheel wells, you’d think the XLT and higher would have this as a base standard option that’s automatically part of that trim package.It WAS an option when I built mine in March 2024.

If you're talking about the "christmas tree" fasteners, mine loosened up after just a couple of days. I tightened them best I could and they loosened up again right away. I contacted Real Truck and asked them for another set of hardware, explaining that they wouldn't stay tight, so I could put bolts and the clip nuts in those locations. They sent me the hardware free of charge. Worked great.Same here, had to trim the Huskys, just like the picture above. What I am worried about are the cheapy fasteners.
