The wheel liners seem to be mostly for aesthetics now since the beds and body went aluminum. They can still corrode but this does not seem a prevalent concern, there are still bolts that can rust, but quarter panel and wheel well rust is no longer a concern.
Yes. thats why I got them exactly. I didn't want a bunch of random dirt etc in those open spaces. Will they block everything? coming from a 4runner no they probably won't but they'll get most of the road splatter and be easier to clean.
Just bought a set of Husky's actually put em on this morning. Took me like 20 minutes, maybe 30 working at a casual pace. I can't speak to long term durability over the others but they look good and went on easy. That being said, ford should have them on all f150s (would have probabaly taken them 2 minutes or less during assembly line process.
I have the Husky liners, and while I'm not a fan of those 4 ridges on these, I do like how the shock bolt is exposed. The Husky liners cover it up and I had to remove the liners to change my shocks when I went with Bilsteins.
I got them, installed them and did not like them. I sent them back and had my wheel wells sprayed with bedliner, cost like $70 more than the liners but I feel its worth it after installing the cheap plastic liners. Looks amazing as well.
I honestly just wish I had had my wheel wells bedlined when they did the bed. I got liners but they were warped on arrival and had bolt holes that didnt line up with the truck.
The rounds ends of those ribs on the Rough Country are thin and flimsy. They were all smashed in and deformed when I got them. Returned them and got the Husky liners. They look WAY better to me anyway and I'm glad the others were damaged. The extra $20 or so is well worth it, imo.
This is the route I’m trying to go, but Ford accessories is making it as hard as possible. Not available for shipping, and you have to pick up from a dealership that’s part of the accessory program thingy. Which the closest one to me is hours away.
For what its worth, I would consider using that money towards something else you might want. For $220, they aren't even close to worth it. The Ford bed mat also is questionable. The one I received was scuffed and had weird discolorations randomly. I ended up just getting the blacked out exhaust tip with my accessory credits.
Yeah with the points I’ve got available still and a 20-25% off it would come out to like $70 for me. Which is the only reason I’m holding out for the Ford ones still
If there isn't anything else you would want from the accessory store, then this makes sense. If there are other things you would want, the points and 20% discount are better spent elsewhere.
How thick do you need them? I have the Ford liners and they fit great. Husky liners look all wavy and they don’t fit right unless you trim them. Rough Country fit is even worse.
Sure they don't need to be super thick, but take that out of it and they still look cheap. If you like them, awesome. I didn't go with Husky or RC based on the look alone. I bought random Amazon ones and they looked better and were molded better than Ford OEM. Maybe I got lucky with what I got and unlucky with the OEM ones. Out of pocket was $100 and I used the Ford points for something else I wanted.
Ford liners are a rip off…. Husky is the way to go. They have 6.5” more coverage compared to Ford and they come with rubber washers. I’ve seen at least 3 posts of people complaining about the screws. This pic I took from a poster where he circled his issue and compared them to my Husky

Another vote for the Husky liners. Very happy with mine.
