Default Mud Flaps

My 2020 XLT came with rear mud flaps but not front. I looked at Ford's "accessories" and there are mud flaps from like $50 all the way up to $199 for gatorbacks. Whats the reason for the big disparity? It seems like front flaps would keep stuff off of my running boards although I'm not sure what the differences in them are.

The rear flaps have the Ford logo and dealership's name on them. From a purely cosmetic point of view (I've never personalized any of my vehicles before) could I put on plain old weather tech front flaps or are the drapes supposed to match the carpet, so to speak?

I had Husky flaps on all four corners until I hit a deer. The body shop replaced the front flaps (because one was missing after the accident) and used Ford guards (the hard plastic kind). Unless you were really looking for it, I don’t think most people would even notice that the front and rear are different. I didn’t even notice for a couple weeks. I would just get whatever you want for the front, either OEM or aftermarket. I bet no one ever notices.

I plan to get the Ford mud flaps to use my points. I usually would go Husky, but I like the idea of them saying Ford

I had Weather tech's guards on my last truck and they were fine.

On my current truck I put on this off brand from Amazon and they seem to be just as good for about half the price. I'm glad I did...

Carpet and curtains....

what size rims are those? 17”?
I like the look better than my 18”
if i could sell my 18” wheels and buy the 17” and the below tires i would.
I only have 6k miles on the factory tires/rims
It will probably be 6 more years before i will be looking at tires.
I want a set of those wheels and some
nokian rotiiva AT plus LT 265-70-r17
i think they are E Load rated “121”
I don’t usually wear my trucks tires out. I usually change them due to age.
