Towing & Hitch-Mounted Mud Flaps

Towing Mud Flaps

Towing mud flaps, also called hitch-mounted mud flaps, are a must-have for avid haulers, especially if you regularly haul open-deck trailers with valuable cargo on top! These oversized mud flaps typically mount to your ride’s hitch receiver, unlike conventional fender-well-mounted mud flaps, preventing mud, rocks, debris, or tire sling from kicking backward directly into your precious cargo; there’s nothing worse than finding fresh rock chips on a car you weren’t even driving!

Selecting the Ideal Towing Mud Flaps

When browning our selection of towing mud flaps, there are several factors to consider to ensure the perfect purchase.

Width

How wide would you like your mud flaps to be? Full-width flaps offer the best protection on SRW applications and are a must-have on DRW pickups, though they’re far more conspicuous than low-profile alternatives. However, towing mud flaps aren’t for style but for protection!

Material Construction

Towing mud flaps are manufactured from multiple materials, ranging from rugged alloys to flexible rubber, but which is right for your pickup? 

Aluminum mud flaps are lightweight and dependable, withstanding even the harshest impacts and abrasions without serious structural damage! Though durable, they’re also prone to unsightly dings and scratches; they may also incur unsightly tarnishing if left in a raw/polished finish. 

Rubber mud flaps are elastic and impact resistant, often taking no visual or structural damage even after a berating from pebbles, stones, and road debris. They also feature a subtle, matte black finish that’s far stealthier than comparable polished alloy mud flaps, unless fitted with alloy weights. 

Stainless steel mud flaps are tough and dependable, featuring exceptional impact and corrosion resistance thanks to their high chromium content. 

Fitment

Towing mud flaps are available in three fitments/installation methods: universal, vehicle-specific, and adjustable. 

Universal mud flaps, like the Husky Liners MudDog Mud Flaps, feature a universal design that fits most applications. While more affordable than most vehicle-specific offerings, universal mud flaps require minor drilling for installation. 

Vehicle-specific mud flaps, like Rockstar Custom Splash Guards, are manufactured exclusively for your application. Traditionally, these mud flaps require no drilling or modifications for installation, instead utilizing factory bolt holes for an OE fit and finish.

Adjustable mud flaps, like RockTamers Adjustable Mud Flaps, feature full adjustability to fit a wide array of vehicles. No drilling is required for installation and they can be installed on multiple vehicles if necessary!
