Congratulations! I have a 2015 Platinum in Blue Jeans and a 2016 King Ranch on order. I normally keep one a year or so then rotate it to one of my project managers. Anyhow I think it depends on the color and the look your going for. Ford has a nice black molded set that requires no drilling mounts up easy of four guards. The rears have the ford oval on them they look nice on the Platinum. Ford also has some flat ones with the emblem that look nice also. Husky liner makes a nice molded set similar to Fords also. Ford accessories web site has really upped their game with a great selection of goodies for your truck.
Enjoy your truck you won't regret your purchase.
There are a lot of options just Google 2016 F150 splash guards. Good luck!

I picked up the Husky ones for the front back. No drill as well (sept one screw IF you want the added strength which MOST people do drill)

I've yet to install them, doing so this weekend. So I'll let you know how they work out. They got positive reviews from what I read.

Quick question: On the Husky website, it asks if I have the factory wheel well flares for the 2015 Platinum. Mine has a little stock looking bump out but no 'extra' flare. Anyone know what they mean by this? Apparently, there must be two different mud flaps one can order.

I wondered the same exact thing. I ordered them for the model WITHOUT the flares... I don't think those count as flares, i think they mean the bigger/oversized ones... I could be wrong though

Not sure if the products changed for the new model, but I have Weathertech's no drill splash guards on my 2013 are they are great. Install took all of about 5 minutes and they have remained solid for about a year now. I had Husky's before these and I didn't like the looks as much. I did drill the hole for mounting and they were solid, they just seemed bulkier than the Weathertechs.

By flares, they are referring to the low profile, factory ones (that stick out only 1/2" or so), not the big, Bushwacker style flares - that's a whole different ball game.

All our trucks have the flares though, right? So would Husky consider those NO FLARES if we ALL have them (why else would they have two options).
