Wondering if anyone who has looked to install molded front and rear mud flaps has found a source. I've come up empty. Thanks.

Despite the Ford Parts site saying they dont work, the normal 2022 F150 mud flaps fit based on a number of forum posts + a youtube video I saw a while back.

I have a Ford set on order from this link, getting in thursday: 21 thru 22 Ford F-150 OEM Genuine Molded Black Splash Guards Mud Flaps Kit 4pcs | eBay
BUT your dealer can get these for you as well at the same price.

I'm reasonably sure these are just knock-offs of the Ford ones, for 1/3 the price missing the Ford logo on the backs: Fit For 21 thru 22 Ford F-150 Replacement Front Rear Splash Guards Mud Flaps Kit | eBay

I imagine they will fit, but folks seem to like the huskys as well: HUSKY 58526 Mud Guards Front & Rear Mud Flaps No Drilling for 21 22 Ford F150 | eBay

If you do a lot of freeway, aftermarket mud flaps can have a surprisingly negative affect on aero. 🫤

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of too. I picked the factory Ford ones because they look pretty small, and hopefully aren't too bad. BUT I have a gravel driveway, and every rock that kicks up and pings makes a part of me die inside.

Hummm.....I put on 500+ miles a week. I will watch my battery charge. Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea it would have any more than a negligible effect.

You're welcome! Loving just about everything, and my toddler adores taking rides in it! Not as capable as the 7.3 it replaced, but fits my uses these days we'll enough.

One tip: raise your tire pressure. I went from 2.3 mi/kWh to 2.7 in my "normal" drives going from 36 to 46 psi. The ride hasnt suffered at all, and is even less "bouncy".

I have read a few posts about tire pressure and will do as you did. Did you see an advantage in battery life?

Just in mi/kWh, which translates to better range, but I don't drive a consistent enough week to notice the increase.

Recommended tire pressure is 42 psi.

Recommended tire pressure is 42 psi.

My door frame says 36 PSI. Is that 42 for the all-seasons instead of the All Terrain?

36 was a mistake and there was a recall about it.

Tire Pressure Recall

At least 1 of the articles there says "In affected trucks—2,886 Ford F-150 Lightnings in the U.S. and Canada, with 20-inch or 22-inch all-season tires—the pressure has been incorrectly set to 35 psi rather than 42 psi. Ford cautions that a low inflation pressure may lead to “poor handling and a possible loss of vehicle control.”".

Mine came with the AT tires, AND is 36, not 35 PSI. Also, the folks there that seem to be affected by it all say their door stickers say 42. Mine says 36.

Interesting. You're right that my door frame sticker says 42psi for the installed 20s and 36psi for the 18" spare. Maybe they sticker them differently for the AT tires.

Yep, there is, it is a legal requirement that the sticker matches the car as equipped from the factory. I'm sure the Platinum trucks have a 3rd, and the Pro probably a 4th version of the sticker.

I have the all-season tires on the Pro (I think that is the only option, I don’t remember being able to choose) and my door sticker says 36PSI, but I increased to 42PSI. I didn’t push it further, as the maximum recommended pressure from Michelin (these are the Primacy XC) is 44 PSI.

I know this is an old post, but just in case you are still looking for the correct Ford OEM mud flaps, Yes, for the Mud Flaps, use part number part numbers NL3Z16A550BA and NL3Z16A550AA. My dealership sold them for $53ea. Make sure they don't change the part number to the normal F-150 part number (they will not fit correctly), it has to be part numbers NL3Z16A550BA and NL3Z16A550AA to be used on the Lightning. For some reason,

 

[paul p]

So...

I specifically ordered NL3Z-16A550-AA and NL3Z-16A550-BA mud flaps from Sam Galloway Ford, Ft Meyers, Fla

They sent ML3Z-16A550-AA and ML3Z-16A550-BA - made for conventional F150's

sigh....
