Front mud guard, useless?

[nategannam]

The internet has all kinds of worthless parts for sale, I find it odd they can’t be found :,P

I know, its the strangest thing. Ford doesn't seem to offer it and even ebay is bare. Pictures of the 2022 models don't have them, so I might as well just rip them off. It can't hurt the fuel economy that bad

No it won’t, tire selection and psi are a countable difference. Not that thing. We are driving a brick anyways not a low drag sports car.
Maybe a 0.004 drag coefficient difference at 80 mph and above.

Mine warned me I was about to run over a chunk of concrete I didn’t see when backing my trailer at the dump. I think I’ll keep them.

I have been considering removing these front mud guards on my BB to improve approach angle/drive over height. For those that have taken them off, are they difficult to remove? And do I have to replace any 1 time use POM rivets after removing?

Just took a look, it's straight up 3 little bolts for the fronts. Does not look difficult or undoable at all.

Very very simple Just put the screws back in. They will make no difference in anything. They are useless I removed mine on my Big Bend after one week.

Removed mine took a couple minutes and re installed the screws. Looks better and if Base and Badlands don't have 'em why not

Same, same. No noticeable difference in gas mileage.
