This is the paint expensed above all of the tires I’m referring to. Maybe they used some magical paint that can withstand getting getting stones chucked at them and point blank rage without damage?
I prefer to protect my investment, but
maybe you’re all right and I’m worried without reason.

just wish they had an option from the factory to keep the paint from getting blown off the fender lip. The liners help inside but the lip is still exposed.
yeah, I need to get over that tone. Just trying to figure out why it needs to let me know I started it. And opened the door. And let me know the motor is running. And hooked up a trailer and….. it seems a little much.

Because I drive a 2015 Lariat FX4 SCrew that has factory flares.
Did the wheel openings change after '21? Can you not purchase the previous OEM flares and install them? I haven't kept up with all the various little changes because I am not in the market for a new truck.
Or how about having PPF installed?

I stopped at the body shop today to drop off the Air Design flares and get advice. I decided to put some PPF under the flares to protect the contact area between the flare and the fender and go with the OE Bushwacker flares.

They have to have all of those chimes and warning messages for the same reason they have to put warning messages on things like Tide Pods and batteries telling people not to ingest them, yet people still do... They are aimed at the "lowest common denominator" in society so Ford can limit their liability I guess. But like others have said, this is not a condition limited to Ford by ANY means... Just be happy that there is ForSCAN so you can disable many of those things annoying you.
Or “trailer connected”. I’m like no ****. I’m the one who hooked it up. Somebody certainly do not sneak up behind me and hook a trailer to my truck. 😂 on a serious note though I do like that one since it checks the lights and will let
me know if it disconnects.

soon. I tried the ones from my 22 F250 and the fit is good but the screw pattern is different. I may just modify a set of those to fit
