Truck Hardware Gatorback Rubber Mud Flaps – Fits 2025 Ford Expedition (Excludes Active Trim w/ Platform Running Board)
Protect your 2025 Ford Expedition with a mud flap set that’s purpose-built for performance, durability, and a clean custom fit. The Truck Hardware Gatorback Rubber Mud Flaps are a premium accessory designed for truck and SUV owners who demand superior protection and a high-end aesthetic without sacrificing practicality. Whether you're hauling kids to school, heading off-road for the weekend, or cruising the highway, these flaps help shield your Expedition’s paint, step bars, and trailer from rocks, grime, slush, and road debris.
This heavy-duty set is made specifically for select 2025 Expedition trims, including the King Ranch, King Ranch MAX, Platinum, Platinum MAX, and Tremor. Please note: these flaps are not compatible with the Expedition Active trim equipped with platform running boards.
Each flap is constructed from ultra-durable, 1/2" thick virgin rubber designed to flex—not crack—in extreme temperatures. The brackets are made from black anodized aluminum, offering an aggressive, stealthy look that complements the Expedition’s modern styling. Precision-fit to your vehicle’s wheel wells, the brackets provide a secure and stylish mount point that won’t rust or bend out of shape over time. And with all mounting hardware included, installation is simple and does not require any drilling into the body.
Rugged Design Meets Seamless Fitment
Unlike universal splash guards, Gatorback flaps are engineered for a clean, flush fit that looks like it came straight from the factory. They mount using factory holes and install directly over the OEM wheel well liner, helping retain your SUV’s original finish while enhancing its protection and style.
Gatorback flaps are more than just protective—they also preserve your investment. Less mess kicked up on your trailer, less gravel blasted at your rear bumper, and fewer chips on your doors all add up to a cleaner ride and reduced long-term maintenance costs.
