This evening saw a small F150 project in adding the optional rear wheel well liners. While I’m sure they make exceedingly little actual functional difference, they do cover more area than the painted area of the wheel wells and I like the more finished look.
If I had my way, these would have been standard on every truck for the last 20 years. As it is, the fit and hardware was as expected for a factory part, and they only took a few minutes to put on each side. Removing and installing each rear tire and placing a jack stand took longer than putting the new parts on.

you’ll find they will make a difference when on gravel though.

I didn’t have that option on my 99 Dakota RT back when I got it so i used Bedliner in the wheel wells to protect the paint. It’s held up very well and I’m surprised this kind of protection isn’t standard equipment.

Interestingly, the kit containing the liners and hardware is cheaper as a Ford accessory than as a factory option for the same part numbers.

I hadn’t thought about that, but you make a good point. I’m sure it will be quieter on dirt roads.
